4 To return to left side pan, press the lit < PAGE key.
To reset pan to 0 (center):
1 If unlit, press the PAN key so that it stays lit.
2 Press the encoder below the name of the track you want to reset to center.
Multichannel Panning
When mixing in surround, encoders control pan parameters such as divergence, center percentage,
and others. For more information, see “Multichannel Panning for Surround” on page 47.
Flipping Encoder Parameters to Faders
MC Mix lets you “flip” pan, plug-in, and send parameters to control them from the faders. Flipping
plug-ins to the faders lets you control eight parameters (or more) simultaneously. The following ex-
ample shows how to flip plug-in parameters to faders. Flip also works with pan and sends.
To flip plug-in controls to faders using MC Mix:
1 Select a track that already has a plug-in inserted.
2 Press the INSERT key (MC Mix) or Inserts encoder (MC Control).
3 Push the encoder for the desired plug-in.
4 On MC Mix, press the FLIP key (hold the SHIFT key and press CHAN/FLIP). Plug-in parameters are
now at the faders.
5 Press the PAGE > key (if lit) to go to additional parameters. Press < PAGE to return to previous pages.
6 Press FLIP again to flip back to encoders.
7 Press the BACK key to close the plug-in.
The standard Pro Tools modifier for parameter reset by holding Option (Mac) can also be used to reset
controls. For example, holding Option (Mac) and touching a fader resets the fader to 0/unity.
