Position View
In this view you can display or edit the shape or size of the room, the position and orientation of the listener and sound
source, and the path of the automation.
1
Relative Position Display
Normally, this displays the angle of the sound source as seen from the orientation of the listener, the distance between the
sound source and the listener, and the angle of the sound source as seen from the direction of the listener.
When you click on a Key Point (see section
below), the angle of the Key Point, as seen from the listener, is
displayed along with the distance between the listener and the Key Point.
If the Key Points are KEY 1 and KEY 2, the angle is displayed as ---°. However, this is not defined as the angle for KEY 1 and
KEY 2. An angle is displayed because the START KEY has the initial angle setting that is used at the start.

Room Shape and Size
You can shape the room by changing its aspect ratio. Use the mouse to drag the four corners of the room while in Position
View.
The aspect ratio of the room can also be changed by following the instructions in
.
In the room size display, one unit equals one meter.
The size of the room can also be changed by following the instructions in

Path
The automation path is determined by three points.
These are called “Key Points.”
There is more information about the path in
.
START KEY
This is the start position.
See
.
KEY 1
This is the point aimed at after the start.
See
.
KEY 2
This is the point aimed at after KEY 1.
See
.
Drag any of the points to change the direction of the path.
If you press the <Shift> key, a plus (+) sign is added beside the mouse cursor, and you can simultaneously select multiple
Key Points, the sound source or the listener. You can then move them all simultaneously as a group by dragging only one of
them.
If you drag the mouse while holding down the <Ctrl> key (<command> key on the Macintosh), you can move in a straight
line while still maintaining the angle to the listener.
If you drag the mouse while holding down the <Alt> key (<option> key on the Macintosh), you can move in a circle while still
maintaining the distance from the listener.
Any point can be placed outside the room. However, if you will actually be using automation, the sound source and listener
must move within the walls of the room, without going outside of them.
To move the path without changing its shape, select all the Key Points while holding down the <Shift> key, then drag them,
or drag a midpoint on the path displayed between two points.
