Intensity Adjustments

I know the [+%] and [-%] keys are not on Ion, but is there some way to achieve the same outcome (a softkey i can't find, a good macro to write, etc).  If not, will this function exist in future versions?

Also, I am not having the [/] key act the way the manual says it should.  Could someone explain they they do (or are supposed to do)?

    The way i read it, the [/] key should scale up and down (n)%.  So, if I am starting with a channel at 50% and I am scaling 30% I expect to see the scale up to go to 65 and the scaled down go to 35.  What I am actually seeing is a scale up to 65 and a scale down to 15. 

     I am sure the answer is a obvious as the last one, but I am getting psyched out by this thing...

    Scaling works as a simple multiplier.

    [1][At][6][5][Enter] - channel 1 intensity at 65

    [1][At][/][3][0] - channel 1 intensity at 20 (65 x 30%)

    [1][At][/][1][3][0] - channel 1 intensity at 85 (65 x 130%)

    I can see how the text in the manual might be misleading, especially for scaling down. Perhaps it should read "down to 30% of their current values". It is easy to assume it means "down by 30%".

     From Page 106 of the 1.4.1 manual (Setting Intensities)

     • [5] [thru] [8] [At] [/] [3] [Enter] - scales the intensities of the selected channels in the list down
    30% of their current values.
    • [1] [thru] [4] [At] [/] [1] [3] [0] [Enter] - scales the intensities of the selected channels in the
    list up 30% of their current values. If channels 1 through 4 were at 40% intensity, this would
    scale them up by 30% to a value of 52.

    That is exactly what I have experienced.  In fact we have been talking here at my venue about how the manual should add the word "to".  Your explanation makes great sense...I will just have to convince myself that that is how it functions...

     I wish the manual were correct, as I would rather it act in this way...oh well.

    Would [At][-][5][0] do what you want? This will drop a level from 90 to 40 (down 50 percentage points). [At][/][5][0] will drop it to 45 (50% of its current level).
