Sorry, but you dont understand this eghther!
Its simple fellas, do your math if you wish! If my language was english, I would easily clear 
this out for you. But let me try: Either way, if you apply different amount of effect on each 
controller, they will still follow the same curve, as you only use one master controller, 
namly the joustick! Tataa!! Was that difficult to understand?

If you have seperate knobs, they can go seperate paterns. Think musical, not robot 
paterns!! Try driving the car moving the stearing wheel, the speed pedal, and the brakes in 
the eksact same tempo! Id say you need a driving licence ;-)
