U S I N G P A N M A N
You might be thinking that panning is pretty simple. And PanMan can do
simple. It can do your standard back-and-forth, left-to-right, right-to-left
panning. But it can do a whole lot more than that too, a lot of things you’ve
probably never even thought of. We took a hard look at classic analog
autopanners, like the celebrated PanScan, the Cyclosonic FS-1, and the
Spanner. We listened to them and asked ourselves not only what makes
these units cool, but what they were missing as well. We ended up with 6
different modes (including not one but TWO unique rhythm modes) and a
whole lot of other goodies, including dynamic pan, rate, and width
modulation that constantly changes and adapts to your tracks. We even let
you pan “beyond the speakers .” Simply put, you just can’t do this stuff with
automation.
Basic Controls
The controls that you will see on the face of PanMan depend upon the
modulation mode that PanMan is currently in. A few of the controls in
PanMan are basic, global controls that appear in every mode. We’ll
summarize those controls first, then breakdown each unique modulation
mode that PanMan has to offer.
