Subject: Re: [Fractint] A meaning for scalemap=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0;silence.

Hi Jay,

Actually, what I think is happening is that it indeed does keep the note at 0, however, if you try to enter a number above 12, say a 15, it resets the value to 12.  Making those changes (0s and 15s) to the <ctrl+F> F7 screen and then generating a bit and returning, you will find 0's and 12's. The reason I don't think it is internally resetting to 1 becomes painfully obvious if you enter all values of 12's and 1's as I did on this:

Arcade_Variation2   { ; This works nicely under DOSbox.
                     ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 10
                     ; tone map 1's and 12's
  reset=2004 type=mandelcloud passes=1 center-mag=-0.5/0/0.6666667
  params=-37 float=y maxiter=100 inside=0 periodicity=3 hertz=360
  polyphony=9 wavetype=7 attack=1 decay=0 sustain=15
  srelease=0 scalemap=12/12/12/12/12/12/1/1/1/1/1/1 orbitdelay=1500
  showorbit=yes sound=x/fm/quant colors=@default.map
  }
