Joystick Module

The optional twin Joystick module is used to pan up to two signals across surround destinations.

Channels and Tracks can be assigned to a joystick. The regular panning control on the fader strips is locked out.

The joystick provides full automation for recording panning information. This makes it possible to pan as many

paths as required with repeated passes.

PanPos Display

The LED matrix above each joystick is called the PanPos display. The position of the joystick is indicated by a

single dot. The notional panned position of the signal (i.e. where the signal seems to be when listening to it) is

indicated by an open diamond of four dots. When the joystick is in control of the panning, the dot and diamond

join together to form a cross.

Using the Joystick Module

To select the path to be controlled by a joystick press the nudge keys on either side of the alpha display below

the PanPos and speaker display.

The alpha will cycle through the available paths and shows both the system and user names. The speaker

symbols will illuminate to show the speakers the path is routed to.

Press and hold the SET key and press the ACCESS key for the required path. Release the SET key.

To control the panning with a joystick press the CALL key.

The integral LED will illuminate red.

The diamond on the PanPos display will jump to the dot to form a cross and the path name will stop flashing.

Move the joystick as required.

To prevent the sound jumping when the CALL key is pressed, first move the spot to the diamond.

To freeze a panning axis or divergence press the DIV, LCR, FB and LR keys as required.
