Movement Restriction Modes

The following positioning modes and modifier keys are available:

Standard Positioning Mode

Mouse movements are not restricted.

Fine-Scaled Positioning Mode

Mouse movements are scaled to allow for very subtle positioning adjustments. This is useful when panning in one of the miniature displays, for example.

Modifier key: Shift

Horizontal Movements Only

Mouse movements are restricted to the horizontal direction.

Modifier key: Ctrl/Cmd

Vertical Movements Only

Mouse movements are restricted to the vertical direction.

Modifier key: Ctrl/Cmd-Shift

Diagonal Movements - Bottom Left to Top Right

Mouse movements are restricted to diagonal motions from bottom left to top right.

Modifier key: Alt/Opt

Diagonal Movements - Bottom Right to Top Left

Mouse movements are restricted to diagonal motions from bottom right to top left.

Modifier key: Alt/Opt-Shift

Jump to Positioning Handle

In this mode, the mouse pointer immediately jumps to the positioning handle, even if it is located outside the pan area.

Modifier key: Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-Shift

Note

If Position Left/Right Channels Independently is activated, clicking anywhere in the pan area moves the mouse pointer to the closest panning handle.

Position Left/Right Channels Independently

Mouse movements are restricted to left channels or right channels.

Important

• If Position Left/Right Channels Independently is activated, automation data is written for several parameters. Due to this, specific automation rules apply.

• Automation data for the independent positioning mode is always written for the complete sound source, not for individual channels. As a consequence, it is not possible to record automation for one stereo channel and then add automation for the other stereo channel in a second step, for example.
