Panning

In the software, click the Track's Pan knob and drag it up or down to set the position.
You can also set the panning of each Program within Track Mixer Mode by clicking and
dragging a Pan knob for a Program Channel strip. (If the Program Channel strips are not
shown, click the plug icon to the left of the Track channel strips or in the upper-left corner of the grid.)

Important: By default, some plugins do not support MIDI panning by default. In this case, adjust this at
the plugin Track.
Note: MIDI Programs' and Plugin Programs' pan values will initially appear as ?. This
indicates that the Program is not sending any pan changes, which allows certain plugins
to load with their optimal default settings. If you copy a Sequence, the pan values will be
copied with that Sequence. If you move to a new Sequence and put the same MIDI
Program or Plugin Program on a new Track, though, these values will appear as ?.
