Pan/Transform
4.3.4Pan/Transform (PAN/TRANS) Pan (Figure 4.13)
The Pan effect sweeps the audio left and right to the beat of the music. The sweep interval is determined by the value selected on the FXGlide™ Button Strip, ranging from 16 beats to 1 beat in length. The PARAM value controls the shape of the sweep. A high value produces a very sharp square wave, and a low value creates a
Figure 4.13smooth sounding sine wave. WET/DRY controls how much of the audio is processed by the Pan effect. At a setting of 100%, the song will appear to move between the left and right speakers. At a lower setting, the WET/DRY ratio can create a subtle shifting of the stereo image that is perfect for breakdowns.
Trans (Figure 4.14) |
|
| Transform sounds like someone is turning the channel On and Off rapidly. |
| It is named for the scratch technique of the same name. The speed of the effect is |
| determined by the active BPM and the beat division selected on the FXGlide™ Button |
| Strip. The PARAM button changes the gap length, with a high value giving long gaps and |

| The WET/DRY parameter controls the amount of the Trans effect in the audio signal. |
4.3.5Key (Figure 4.15)
This allows you to change the key of the song without changing the pitch. By default, the range is
Figure 4.15
The PARAM button allows you to change the key range from 5% to 16%. The WET/DRY parameter is used to adjust the ratio of effect audio (in fact, it can actually change the effect radically). At 100%, the audio in the channel is totally key adjusted. At a value less than 100%, the sound doubles and slightly delays, creating effects ranging from a slight flange to a very creepy “madhouse” sound.
