Width Mod
The Width Mod is also a bi-polar control and allows you to dynamically
increase or decrease the width of the pan effect, again, based on the
setting of this knob as well as the Threshold setting as previously
discussed.
When set straight up the Width Mod it is at the ‘zero’ position. As you turn
the knob clockwise the width will increase based the setting of the knob
and/or the numbers entered into the LED display below. As you turn the
knob counter-clockwise the width will decrease based on the knob setting
and/or the numbers in the LED display below the knob.
You can determine how much you wish to add to the width by setting the
knob towards the ‘Max’ setting. Width Mod is in units of degrees. A setting
of +45 degrees will add 45 degrees of width to your panning. Keep in mind
that the maximum widths of +/- 105 degrees are always enforced. If Width
on the front panel is set to maximum (105 degrees), you cannot add any
more Width Mod. Similarly, if Width is set to 0 degrees, you can’t take any
more away.
Attack
To further increase the variations that can be achieved in modulating the
Rate or Width PanMan allows not only to adjust how much change will
occur but also how quickly or slowly the Rate and Width will change using
the Attack and Release knob settings. Attack is based on time, in
milliseconds, with a range from 0ms to 5000ms (5seconds).
Here’s how it works. Once the input signal has passed the setting of the
Threshold knob, any changes set by Rate Mod and Width Mod settings are
called into play and will change the Rate or Width accordingly. What the
Attack knob allows you to do is to define how long it will take for the Rate
Mod or Width Mod to reach their full modulation amount.
