The Pan Menu
The Panning function 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.
The Pan Menu is selected by pressing the F3 button
in the Mod Env / Env 3 section on the front panel.
Use the BANK / PAGE up/down buttons to scroll
through the Menu functions available - See the table
below.
Changing the Pan Position of a sound
The Panning effect dictates where in the stereo field a sound is placed
when heard through stereo speakers or headphones. It is possible to
position a sound hard to the left, hard to the right or anywhere in
between.
Turn the Effects section BALANCE knob clockwise or anticlockwise to
move the sound across the Stereo field.
Pan Modulation Depth (Menu Page 1 ‘PAN MOD Depth’)
Introduces an amount of panning modulation which affects the location
of the sound in the stereo field. When set fully counter-clockwise, the
sound will only be heard in the position set by the BALANCE control.
At the fully clockwise position, the sound will be move automatically
from the left to the right-hand side at the rate determined by the pan-
ning rate control found in the Panning Menu.
Modulation Rate (Menu Page 2 ‘PAN Mod Rate’)
This function controls the Panning LFO’s speed. If the Mod Depth 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 front panel.
Pan Initial Start Position (Menu Page 3 ‘PAN Init Posn’)
As well as being able to be synchronized to the arpeggiator clock, the
Panning LFO may have its initial position set after a specific MIDI event
is received (see the Synth Global Sync function on Page 52).
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 front panel.
Chorus Initial Start Position (Menu Page 4 ‘CHOR Init Pos’)
Similar to the Pan Initial Start Position on Menu page 3, this setting
specifies the start position of the Chorus Effect LFO.
Note : The Chorus LFO should not be confused with the two LFOs
available on the front panel.
