Deflection Error

Simulates an unstable CRT deflection coil: image roll, line bend, sync jitter, and flicker, layered independently.

Parameter Control Range Notes
Amount Trough 0 to 1
Roll Speed Trough 0 to 3
Line Bend Trough 0 to 1
Sync Jitter Trough 0 to 1
Flicker Amount Trough 0 to 1
Flicker Rate Trough 0.5 to 60Hz
Roll Mode Selector Seamless, Tear Band UI-only; not modulation-assignable.
Video Standard Selector NTSC, PAL UI-only; not modulation-assignable. Independent of Scan Lines’ own copy of this control.

NOTE: setting Roll Speed to 0 stops the roll wherever it currently sits, part-way shifted, rather than returning the image to unrolled. Resetting Roll Speed does not undo it either. A Reset Roll button snaps the roll back to unrolled; it is the only control that does.
