Mackie Control Pan/Surround button
Mackie Control Pan/Surround button overview
Press the PAN/SURROUND button once to activate Pan/Surround Mixer view.
Press the PAN/SURROUND button repeatedly to switch between Pan/Surround Mixer view and
Pan/Surround Channel view.
Hold down the PAN/SURROUND button to display the Alternative Pan/Surround mode options
submenu on the LCD.
Pan/Surround Mixer view
Pan/Surround Mixer view allows you to edit one pan/surround parameter for all channel strips:
Angle or Pan (on non-surround channel strips), Diversity, LFE, and Spread (on surround channel
strips). The parameter being edited is displayed briey when switching to this mode. Regardless
of the selected (and active) surround parameter, non-surround channel strips always display the
standard Pan control.
In a project containing both surround and non-surround channel strips, you can edit a specied
surround parameter for surround channel strips, while the V-Pots of non-surround channel strips
edit pan position, as usual.
In Pan/Surround Mixer view:
•
The mode display shows “Pn” (for Pan).
•
The upper row of the LCD shows channel strip names.
•
Rotating the V-Pots changes the current pan/surround parameter.
•
The Surround Angle parameter rotates between 0 and 359 degrees, avoiding any angle limits.
•
Pressing the button on a V-Pot sets the parameter to its default value.
•
The Cursor Left/Cursor Right buttons switch to the next or previous surround parameter. The
selected parameter appears briey in the upper row of the LCD.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
