Negative Mode

ch-effects-gamma-matrix-gamma-negative-mode-button

 

The Negative Mode (-ve mode) button lets you choose how to process negative values.

preserve

The preserve setting leaves negative values as they are.

 

The processing chain is :

 

-val -> process -> result

clamp

The clamp setting clamps negative values to zero (0).

 

The processing chain is :

 

-val -> 0 -> process -> result

process

The process setting causes negative values to be processed as if positive.

 

The processing chain is :

 

-val -> +val -> process -> -result

Clamp at 1.0

ch-effects-gamma-matrix-gamma-clamp-at-1.0-button

 

The Clamp at 1.0 button causes values greater than 1.0 to be clamped to 1.0.

Preserve Denormals

ch-effects-gamma-matrix-gamma-preserve-denormals-button

 

The Preserve Denormals button enables the use of very small floating point numbers in the processing chain.

 

dv_note

This setting is not needed for most reasonable gamma values. When enabled, the Gamma Matrix tool will take longer to process the sequence.
