Routing, Stereo and Surround Panning in general

The controls used for routing and panning of signals may be assigned to a
number of functions including the Channel Output, Multitrack Send and
the SSGs (Super Send Groups). The following describes their use when
assigned to the Channel Output, by selecting {CHANS} on the SELECT TO
FADERS panel.
1 MULTI-FORMAT Routing Push-Buttons
The surround routing buttons are laid out in the form of a surround sound
LS layout. Only those consistent with the format selected in the master
section will be operable. The fire-up default is Stereo indicated by the L
and R buttons being lit.
2 Definable Knobs
Pan is the fire-up default for the Definable Knobs, indicated by {PAN}
being lit on the SELECT TO PANS panel. This allows control on a
channel by channel basis for L/R pan settings for Stereo and L/C/R for
surround modes.
3 Touch Sensitive Motorised Joystick Panner
Any signal routed to two or more busses can be panned using one of the
joysticks, one at each side of the control surface. The joysticks are
assigned according to channel {ACCESS} buttons. They work in tandem
with the Pan knobs on the MULTITRACK panel and the Pan function for
the Definable Knobs. All three controls track each other. If one is put into
automation write, the others will follow automatically. The joystick will
move according to automated moves and the {AUTO REC} push-button
lights when the joystick is touched.
Note
The Surround Routing buttons in the MULTI-FORMAT section of the Routing
panel and panners will always operate on whatever function is assigned to the
Faders, via the SELECT TO FADERS panel.
