Scale the resultant signal of all other mix signals, resultant signal changing sign

[loadlover]

Hi,

Can I use a mix to scale the resultant signal of all other mixed signals *when the resultant signal goes from a negative value to a positive value*?

To clarify further: OpenTx uses signals going from -100 to +100. Scaling a signal would be easy if it were 0 to 100. But it isn't..

The origin is (-100, -100), which should not change.

Thanks

Use a curve on each mix on the channel. The curve would be 0 at -100 and 100 at 100.
Or use an offset of 100 and a weight of 100.

I see where you're going by making everything in the positive domain, but surely this will offset the whole channel making my multirotor unflyable..

Some radios display 0 to 100 for the full range. Other radios display -100 to 100 for the same range.. the channel output might be the same values on both cases. It is just the way it is displayed that is different, not the way it works.
Well, actually -100 to 100 display the double of the steps. I think I actually prefer it.

Multiply with a 2-point curve that goes from -100,0 to +100,+100?

@Kilrah - I tried that. The problem is that you end up scaling relative to the x-axis - which is fine if there are no negative values. It does not give the desired effect if there are. What I'd like to achieve is scaling relative to a line parallel to the x-axis at y = -100.

I tried simply offsetting all the existing mixes by +100 so that they could then be scaled by a final mix, but this just messes everything up. The offsetting needs to be done before we get to the mixes.. hmm..

Depending on exactly what you are trying to do (e.g. what you wish to scale by, constant or variable), you can use three mixes:
Add Weight(0), offset(100)
Multiply - whatever you need
Add Weight(0), offset(-100)

If, say, using a pot for the scaling, you could try two mixes:
Multiply S1 weight(50) offset(50)
Add S1 weight(50) offset(-50)

Thanks Mike. That works perfectly.
