-** To apply them, the value is divided by 2^n (a shift) and then
-** multiplied by the stored parameter, yielding
-** value / 2^n * (original parameter * 2^n / 100), or approximately
-** (value * original parameter / 100).

-** For most parameters, which are typically larger than 100%, 2^n is
-** 16 (2^4), allowing maximum values up to ~1500%, with a granularity
-** of ~6%.  For the minor multiplier, which is typically smaller,
-** 2^n is 64 (2^6) to allow more precision. In that case, the maximum
-** value is ~400%, with a granularity of ~1.5%.
