•
The mode display shows “Ad” (Angle/Diversity).
•
The upper LCD row shows channel strip names.
•
The lower LCD row shows the surround angle
currently assigned to each channel strip.
•
Rotating a V-Pot changes the surround angle (or
adjusts pan position on non-surround channel
strips).
•
Pressing a V-Pot sets the surround angle to its
default value.
•
The faders edit surround diversity.
V-Pot 8 or F7 Switches to Surround X/Y Mixer view.
•
The mode display shows “XY.”
•
The upper LCD row shows channel strip names.
•
The lower LCD row shows the surround X value
currently assigned to each channel strip.
•
Rotating a V-Pot changes the surround X value
(or adjusts pan position on non-surround channel
strips).
•
Pressing a V-Pot sets surround X to its default value.
•
The faders edit surround Y.
Note: The X and Y parameters are limited to a rectangular coordinate system. As such, value
pairs outside the surround circle are not possible. If you try to set a Y value that is invalid, the X
coordinate is automatically adjusted to a valid position, and vice versa. For example, moving Y to
+1000 results in an X coordinate value of 0. When only one coordinate value is edited, the other
coordinate value defaults to the setting of the most recently selected channel strip. This helps
you to create linear movements. X and Y have a value range of –1000 to +1000, but the resolution
is not that high because surround positions are currently recorded as 7-bit data.
