Audio widget DMX and upper/lower limits with scaling

I have a laser DMX fixture that will enlarge or contract the display based upon the DMX value sent to one of the control channels. I would like the display to zoom in and out based upon the audio level. Choosing the DMX channel only allows for the full range of 0-255. The fixture expects values 65-128 for the full zoom range. Values out of this range cause other unwanted display effects. Is there any way to set upper/lower value limits for the audio widget DMX output similar to the value limits for a Scene but still pass the scaled value? Example: 0-100% audio would scale to DMX channel out values of 65-128.
Thank you

Well, not with the audio widget, but you can tweak the output DMX values with a channel modifier.
See the documentation: https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... rties.html

Note that once it's applied, the modifier is global, so you won't be able to control the channel 0-255 anymore.

Yes. Thanks Massimo. I tried channel modifier based upon the VU meter example and it worked but as you said I loose other effects controlled by the channel that are out of limits.
Happy trails
