Isadora Manual v1.3 - TroikaTronix

Ctl Link, Init, Scale Min. and Scale Max. (We’ll discuss the “Init” box
below, and the “Ctl Link” boxes in the section on Controls.)
The values of “Scale Min.” and “Scale Max” determine the range of values to
which any incoming value will be scaled.
• Change Scale Minimum and Scale Maximum values to specify the range of
values to which values arriving at this input will be scaled. These value edit
boxes work like the ones inside any actor – you can use the mouse to scroll
through the possible values, or you can enter a value into the box by clicking
on it, typing the value, and pressing enter or return.
To specify the limits of an output property:
• Click on the name of an output property, found just to the left of the output
value box on the left right of an actor. The name will turn yellow to indicate
that it is selected and information about that property will appear just below
the Scene Editor.
• At the top is the name of the output along with the absolute minimum and
maximum values allowed for this property. Below are three value edit boxes:
Ctl Link, Scale Min. and Scale Max. (We’ll discuss the “Ctl Link” value in
the section on Controls.)
• The values of “Limit Min.” and “Limit Max” determine the minimum and
maximum values that the output will send, and are used in combination with
the Scale Minimum and Scale Maximum input property values to determine
how values will be scaled from an output to an input.
• Change Limit Minimum and Limit Maximum values to specify the lower and
upper limit of values that can be sent by this property. These value edit boxes
work like the ones inside of any actor – you can use the mouse to scroll
through the possible values, or you can enter a value into the box by clicking
on it, typing the value, and pressing enter or return.
To invert the relationship between and output and an input:
• If you want to invert the relationship between the output and the input so that
as the output goes up the input goes down, set Scale Minimum to a value
greater than Scale Maximum.
