Chapter 75: TL AutoPan 369
toPan, ranging from every 16th-note to every 4
bars. When Beat Clock signal is received, the
Beat Clock trigger light blinks brightly. Using
the Beat Clock function enables TL AutoPan to
produce consistent panning results, ensuring
that the LFO is always in the same state at each
beat.
Envelope When the Envelope trigger is selected,
the LFO is triggered directly by the Envelope De-
tector, which analyzes the amplitude of the au-
dio signal. If the Side-Chain Input selector in
the Envelope section is activated, then the side-
chain audio signal is used instead. When acti-
vated, the Envelope light blinks brighter when
an audio signal is detected. The threshold level
can be adjusted using the Threshold control in
the Envelope section.
If the Envelope Detector is completely released
due to previous portions of the audio signal go-
ing above threshold, a trigger occurs the next
time the audio goes above the threshold level.
Another trigger will not happen until the Enve-
lope Detector has completely released after the
audio goes below the specified threshold. In-
creasing the release time reduces the rate at
which triggers can occur and decreasing the re-
lease time increases the rate at which triggers
can occur.
Manual When the Manual trigger is selected, the
LFO is triggered manually. This can be espe-
cially useful if you want to trigger the LFO using
Pro Tools automation.
With control surfaces and automation, the Man-
ual trigger acts like an on/off switch and triggers
the LFO every time it changes state.
TL AutoPan Tempo Controls
Link To Tempo
When the Link To Tempo option is enabled, the
LFO rate is set to the Pro Tools session tempo,
and any tempo changes in the session are fol-
lowed automatically. In addition, the LFO rate
slider is ignored and the tempo displayed in the
LCD always displays the current session tempo.
Duration Selector
The Duration selector works in conjunction
with the session tempo, LFO rate, and Beat
Clock trigger. By default, Duration is set to 1
bar. At that setting, the LFO cycles once within
one bar. When Duration is set to 1 beat, the LFO
cycles within the duration of one beat. When
Link to Tempo is enabled, the Duration menu al-
lows the LFO rate to be set as a function of the
tempo of the Pro Tools session. The Duration
menu also controls how often the Beat Clock
trigger is activated.
