Editing, Continued

When you press the JOYSTICK key, the input position jumps to the joystick position, and the setting dot turns from red to green, highlighting the joystick cursor (as shown on the Joystick Map and on the smaller map of the selected input). The legend "Joystick Locked" appears in the Action Display. Moving the joystick pans the selected input.

To pan a different channel, choose its number with the Numeric Keypad or shift to it with the Navigation Arrows and press the JOYSTICK key to lock.

Output Panning

To edit outputs, press the EDIT key, then the OUTPUTS soft button, to bring up the screen shown in Figure 4-18. You can see from the System Status Display at the upper right that two machines are in use and that you are working on settings for Machine 1. The Main Operating Display shows that five outputs are in use

and where each output signal is positioned in the soundfield.

In Figure 4-18, the Left output, channel 1, is selected, so its header is highlighted and its pan position is indicated on the Joystick Map. The Joystick has not captured the parameter, indicating that the JOYSTICK key is off.

Note: If you pan an output, keep the joystick moving! Panning an output signal permanently between channels causes a loss of spaciousness. (Due to the Haas effect, such signals will collapse into the speaker whose output reaches the listener first.) You can pan and position input signals at will – but don’t pan output signals unless you keep them moving or finally place them in one speaker.
