The X/Y Grid and Pan Location
Cursor
The X/Y Grid is where multichannel panning
information is input and displayed. You can in-
put pan information using X/Y mode, 3-Knob
mode, or by entering numeric values in the Po-
sition data fields. You can also edit pan automa-
tion graphically in the Edit window.
Multichannel panners default to X/Y mode. In
X/Y mode, the track’s current pan position is
represented by a green dot. This dot is the Pan
Location cursor, and its color indicates track au-
tomation status using standard Pro Tools colors:
Green
The track is in automation Read mode.
Red
The track is in automation Write, Touch,
Latch, or Touch/Latch mode.
Yellow
The track is in automation Off mode (or
Automation Suspend) mode.
Panning Mode Button
This button, located below the X/Y Grid, pro-
vides access to Surround panning modes (see
“Panning Modes” on page 784).
Position Controls
The Position controls let you set the positions of
the panner.
Front Displays and controls the current front X-
axis (left/right) position of the panner.
Rear Displays and controls the current rear X-
axis (left/right) position of the panner. In de-
fault X/Y Panning mode, Rear is linked to Front
position and cannot be controlled indepen-
dently.
F/R (Front/Rear) Displays and controls the cur-
rent Y-axis position of the panner.
Center % Control
Center % controls how much of the signal is
routed to the center speaker. This lets you mix a
track to the front with a phantom center (0%
Center value) or to three-channel (LCR) when
panning front.
