m is the exponent of the equation. The rotary switch selects the *range* of m. 
In ROOT, m is <1, in UNITY, m = 1 and in POWER, m is >1.

The (warp) FACTOR knob them varies m over a small range for ROOT and POWER 
settings.

The WARP pots add a DC voltage, which in the equation is a *constant*. This is 
also true of the associated OFFSET jacks. So, it's not 'different' except you 
can WARP without applying any inputs.

Best results are usually with the audio to the 'warped' into the Y IN jack, such 
that 'term' is the one that is exponentiated.
