thanx,
these sounds perfect for me.
I’ll try these out,
i have one more question please:
i have these 2-step calculation,
where i add displacement +1 units in the first the step
and add displacement +4 units, but the result from displacement is from the previous set.
is there a posibility to have the result from step 0, absolut displacement? +1 +4 = 5,0 units !?
Or only possible with *Amplitude?
