ô
Y axis lock
ó X axis lock
Lock the Y axis ( ô ) or X axis ( ó ) when moving the
joystick. Pressing ô and ó simultaneously deacti-
vates the joystick completely and clears the assign-
ment to a channel.
[222] FOLLOW
Activates the joystick to display the currently se-
lected channel (select with
LINK/SEL
[54]). If a gang
is present, the joystick will influence the whole gang.
FOLLOW can be deactivated by a second press; the
joystick will then stay assigned to the current chan-
nel.
[223] DEFINE FOLLOW
When a gang is active and the joystick is set to
FOLLOW
mode, the joystick will physically move to
the average of all the pan values of the gang, allow-
ing the user to make slight adjustments very quickly.
However, if the user wants to do a “full” pan, so that
all channels will be e.g. fully left, he needs to define
the channel for the joystick to display. The joystick
will then move to the pan position of the defined
channel, but will still keep influencing the whole
gang.
Example: One dialog microphone is moving together
with the ambience channels. The gang will include
all channels even if the joystick is defined to show
the dialog microphone by using
DEFINE FOLLOW
.
Operation: Create a gang, have
FOLLOW
on. Press
DEFINE FOLLOW
and select one of the gang members
(use the half-lit
LINK/SEL
keys [54] as guides).
