Divergence
In the Panner Grid, the current divergence val-
ues are displayed using a purple outline.
By default, Pro Tools surround panners are
100% or fully divergent, meaning that a signal
that is panned completely to one speaker will
only be audible in that speaker.
Lower divergence settings result in a progres-
sively wider source signal. When Divergence is
less than 100%, tracks will be routed to neigh-
boring speakers to some degree, even when the
pan cursor is positioned next to a single speaker.
To adjust divergence:
■ Adjust the Front, Rear, and Front/Rear Diver-
gence controls as necessary.
To adjust divergence graphically:
1 Click the Divergence icon.
2 Drag in the Grid to resize the divergence
boundaries.
