3ds Max :: Fine Tuning Modifiers When Using AudioFloat

using AudioFloat and then fine tuning Modifiers assigned to AudioFloat.

First, I think I understand that the Min/Max of the Audio Controller allows you to vary the intensity by which AudioFloat affects the Modifier's execution synchronized to the song, although I don't fully understand exactly what the Min/Max are doing, (btw - Max's help menu doesn't seem to have anything about AudioFloat, at least not that I could find).

For example, I find that when I vary Max, when using Bend as the Modifier, I can change how much the object bends to the right (higher values seem to make it bend more).

However, when I start to adjust the Min up with positive values, that seems to push the object more to the right, but when I adjust the Min with negative values, that seems to completely shift the objects bending towards the left and totally eliminates the right bend...

When I flip the relationship (hold Max negative and vary Min positive/negative), I get the reverse. So I can't seem to make the bend go BOTH left and right. Right now I seem to be able to only make bend go in one direction.

Also, I can't figure out what Threshold and Oversampling do. I have noticed that Threshold as it approaches 1, makes the bend stiffer so that at 1 there is no bend. As for Oversampling regardless of what number I enter, I don't visually see any change.

Finally, I don't seem to be able to control how the Modifier is synchronized to the instruments in the song. Right now, it seems like the Audio Float is synchronizing the Modifier to all of the instruments and the result is kind of like watching Speedy Gonzales on speed or something- it's just way too much motion but I can't figure out how to modify the synchronization.
