In every FabFilter effect, I can create an XLFO and modulate some parameter with it, but I don't know how much I am modulating. For example, if I used it to modulate cutoff frequency of some filter, the dial on the cutoff frequency goes from say 20hz to 20khz, but the default "amount" of modulation of any variable is ".160". It just says "Slot Level" and the dial looks halfway full, but it's clearly logarithmic because it can go all the way to 1.
Do I assume that .160 just means .160 percent of each dial? In which case, for example, if I chose to modulate a cutoff frequency, if I set the cutoff frequency dial at 200hz, the modulation in terms of hz would be far less than if I had set the cutoff frequency dial at 5k, in which case .16 times the distance covered on the dial would be a much larger span of the frequency specturm, because the dial is logarithmic. But that doesn't seem right. Am I missing something? Why is this not explained? Is it just .16 times the raw numbers in the dial, in which case it would mean .16 * 19980hz? That also seems absurd.
