I don't know if "mask" is the best word: The joystick movement has 
its limits and the borderline could define a circle or a squre. This 
is what I called mask. 

Doepfer joystick has a circular mask, which makes it impossible to 
get maximum X and Y values at the same time. On the other hand, 
Analogue Systems joystick has a square mask.
