Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3) simultaneously, not just the main outputs. This is to ensure even output
levels when in Surround Panning Mode.
ROTARY BEHAVIOR
When panning in surround, the rotaries act as four surround panners. These are where you move the
audio around in space.
• Input channels can be assigned to one of the four rotaries (via the K-Mix Editor); the audio
from the assigned channels will follow the rotary’s position in the surround eld.
• Unlike other modes, in Surround Panning Mode the entire surface area of the rotaries can be
used; from the center to the edges in all 360º — there is no “dead zone” at the bottom of the
rotaries. This allows for precise placement of audio in whatever surround speaker array you are
using.
The rotary panners are essentially a top-down view of the surround eld. The center of the rotary
represent the center of the speaker array.
• Center = center of speakers
• 0º (12 o’clock) = front
• 90º (3 o’clock) = right
• 180º (6 o’clock) = back
• 270º (9 o’clock) = left
The further you move from the center of the rotaries, the more “distant” (quieter) the audio will
appear in the speakers; the closer you move to the center of the rotaries, the “closer” (louder) the
audio will appear.
CHANNEL SELECT BUTTON BEHAVIOR
The channel select buttons are not used for any special functionality when in Surround Panning
Mode.
4.2.14.3 – [SHIFT] FUNCTIONALITY
The [SHIFT] button is used to enable/disable Surround Panning Mode via the [SHIFT] + [PAN] button
combination.
4.2.14.4 – OUTPUT CHANNEL BEHAVIOR
K-Mix’s output channels behave differently when Surround Panning Mode is enabled. When panning
in stereo, the four stereo output bus pairs (Main, Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3) are completely independent, but
when surround is enabled all of the output channels work together to provide audio for surround sound
setups.
Since the faders function the same as they do in Mains Mode, [SHIFT] can also be
used to solo and mute channels via the faders.
