Advanced Features
The Panning Menu
The Panning function in the K-Station performs the same function as
the Panning knob on a mixing console. It can be used to position a
sound anywhere from left to right in the stereo field.
Changing the Pan Position of a sound
Ensure that Panning is selected by the SELECT buttons in the Effects
section. Turn the Effects section LEVEL knob clockwise or anticlock-
wise to move the sound across the Stereo field.
Use the PAGE up/down buttons to scroll through the Menu functions
available - See table below.
Mod Depth (Menu Page 1)
The Panning effect has its own dedicated LFO (not to be confused with
the two LFOs available on the K-Station’s front panel) which can be
used to automatically pan a sound backwards and forwards across the
stereo field. This function controls the depth of this automatic panning
effect.
When Mod Depth is set to zero, no automatic panning will be applied
and the position of a sound in the stereo field will be static, being solely
determined by the manual Pan position.
Rate (Menu Page 2)
This function controls the Panning LFO’s speed. If the Mod Depth (see
above) is set to a non zero value, the Panning LFO will move the
sound from the Left to the Right at a speed determined by this Rate
setting
Note : The Panning LFO should not be confused with the two LFOs
available on the K-Station’s front panel.
Sync Rate (Menu Page 3)
A very pleasing audio effect may be heard when the Panning effect is
synchronized to the tempo of a musical piece. The following table
describes the musical timings available.
When a sync interval is selected, the tempo of the Panning is con-
trolled by the Arpeggiator’s TEMPO knob when MIDI Clock Source is
set to INT, or by the external sequencer’s tempo when MIDI Clock
Source is set to EXT. See Page 35 for information on changing the
Global MIDI Clock Source setting.
When controlling the Panning Rate from a sequencer, it is important to
ensure that the sequencer is transmitting MIDI Clock messages.
Consult the sequencer manual for details.
When Sync Rate is set to OFF, the Panning effect will be at the rate
determined by the Panning Rate setting. Any incoming MIDI clock
messages or Arpeggiator TEMPO settings will be ignored by the
Panning effect.
LFO Sync Initial Position (Menu Page 4)
As well as being able to be synchronized to a MIDI clock (tempo), the
Panning LFO may have its initial position set after a specific MIDI
event is received (see the Global Sync Mode function on Page 35).
The initial positions are shown in the table above. For example, if the
Panning initial position sync is set to RGT (Right), after an appropriate
MIDI event has been received, the sound will begin in the right output
audio channel and then move towards the left.
Note : The Panning LFO should not be confused with the two LFOs
available on the K-Station’s front panel.
