Surround Sound
Cubase provides integrated surround sound features with support for several formats. All audio-related channels and busses can handle multi-channel speaker configurations. A channel in the MixConsole can contain either complete surround mixes or an individual speaker channel which is part of a surround setup.
VST MultiPanner
The VST MultiPanner plug-in allows you to position a sound source in the surround field or to modify existing premixes. The plug-in distributes the incoming audio in various proportions to the output surround channels.
VST MultiPanner Plug-in Panel
The VST MultiPanner plug-in panel allows you to position a mono or stereo sound source.
General Plug-in Controls

General Plug-in Controls

Bypass Effect

Bypass Effect at the top of the plug-in panel allows you to bypass VST MultiPanner.

The following applies:

If the input and output configurations are identical, the input signals are directly routed to the output channels.
If the input and output configurations differ, the panner attempts to route the input signals to the appropriate output channels. For example, if you pan a stereo signal to a 5.1 configuration, the left and right front speakers are used.

Mute/Solo

Mute and Solo at the top of the plug-in panel are identical to the corresponding channel controls.

Read/Write

Read and Write at the top of the VST MultiPanner window allow you to apply and record automation data.
