Auto-Pan Component
The Auto-Pan Component allows you to input a mono or stereo signal and automatically pan it between the channels of a stereo output. The stereo input channels can be panned in sync with each other, up to 180° out of sync. You can control the speed of the pan, and various other parameters as listed below.
Inputs and Outputs
Note: The number of signal pins is variable and set in the component's I/O ConfigurationProperty.
Input Pins
Input
Audio signal pins are represented by a (
) circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line.
By default, the Auto-Pan component is set to a Mono In / Stereo Out, which provides one input. Additionally, you can set the Properties to allow for Stereo In / Stereo Out, which gives you two inputs (Left and Right).
Output Pins
Output
Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line.
By default, the Auto-Pan component is set to a Mono In / Stereo Out, which provides two outputs (Left and Right). Additionally, you can set the Properties to allow for Stereo In / Stereo Out, which also gives you two outputs(Left and Right).
Properties
Auto-Pan Effect Properties
I/O Configuration
Sets the configuration of inputs and outputs for the Auto-Pan component. You can choose between Mono In / Stereo Out or Stereo In / Stereo Out.
Graphic Properties
Label
Use the Label property to change the name of the component in the schematic. The Label property defaults to the component name. To learn more about renaming schematic elements, see Organizing Your Design.
Position
The coordinates reference a specific place in the schematic - for example,"100,100" (horizontal, vertical). 0,0 is the upper left corner of the schematic.
Fill
Sets the fill color of the component in the schematic.
Script Access Properties
Code Name
Displays the currently assign name for control access. You can use the auto-assigned name or customize it. Q-SYS will automatically check all Code Names in the design to ensure name is unique.
Script Access
Defines whether the component will be accessible by script and/or externally, or not at all. Choices include All, External, None (default), and Script.
- None (default) - Not accessible by any script, plugin, or by Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
- Script - Can be accessed by scripts, such as Text Controller, Block Controllers, and plugins only.
- External - Can only be accessed by 3rd party controls systems using component commands from the Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
- All - No restrictions, can be accessed by 3rd party control systems via Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC), or script objects or plugin objects.
Tip: Use Script Programmer Mode to quickly view the Script Access setting directly on the component in the design schematic without the need to disconnect from the Q-SYS Core processor.
Controls
Master Bypass
Bypasses all of the Auto-Pan's controls.
Stereo Spread (%)
Available when the I/O Configuration Property is set to Stereo In/Stereo Out.
Determines the separation spread between the channels. 0% is equal amount of each channel mixed to the other, 100% is complete separation of the channels.
High-Pass Frequency (Hz)
Frequencies below this frequency are attenuated. All frequencies above this frequency are amplified based on the setting of the Wet Gain control.
Low-Pass Frequency (Hz)
Frequencies above this frequency are attenuated. All frequencies below this frequency are amplified based on the setting of the Wet Gain control.
LFO Frequency (Hz)
The frequency at which the LFO produces the waveform, or LFO Shape. The LFO Frequency controls the speed of the pan.
LFO Shape
You can select one of 4 different waveforms to control the shape of the pan envelope.
LFO Stereo Spread (%)
The LFO produces two synchronized waveforms, one for each output channel. The LFO Spread determines the phase shift between these two waveforms. 0% is in phase, 100% is 180° out of phase.
When the waveforms are in phase, left audio is panned hard left and the right audio is panned hard right then both into the middle. When the waveforms are out of phase, the left audio is panned hard left and the right audio panned hard left as well, then both to the right side.
Depth (%)
The amount or Depth of the pan modulation. When the Depth control is at 0%, the left input does not pan to the right output, and the right input does not pan to the left. When the control is at 100%, the left input pans fully to the right output, and the right pans fully to the left.
Wet Solo
When engaged, allows you to listen to the wet signal by itself.
Wet Gain (dB)
Controls the gain of the wet output.
Dry / Wet Mix (%)
The percentage of wet to dry signal sent to the output. 0% is all dry signal, and no wet. 100% is all wet, and no dry.
Control Pins
The available Control Pins depend on settings in Properties.
