Pan/Balance/Rotate Functions
Multi-function pan/balance/rotate knobs provide mono panning and stereo balance and rotation.
MONO PANNER/STEREO BALANCE KNOB
When a mono channel is routed to a stereo buss, rotating the center panner will move the source right to left
within the stereo image. When the input channel is stereo, the panner moves the overall sound left and right,
but the feeling of the image can change.
LEFT AND RIGHT PANNERS (STEREO ROTATION)
The stereo panners set the values of the left and right channels routed to the destination. The colored area
between the panners indicates the width and orientation of the stereo image. Drag this area to rotate the
image.
STEREO WIDTH
To change the width of the stereo image, hold Ctrl and move the cursor up or down over the shaded arc. The
image can be summed to mono (width=0) or panned beyond mono to reverse the stereo image (rotation
indicator turns brown).

Stereo Mono
Stereo panning and stereo rotation are quite similar, but there are differences. Depending on the
content, turning the panner will likely move the “weight” of the signal left or right, while the rotator is
more likely to move the “air” of the image. You have to experiment.
