VST MultiPanner Plug-in Panel for 3D Channel Configurations

The VST MultiPanner plug-in panel offers additional settings and a 3D pan area for channels that are routed to an output bus or group channel with a 3D channel configuration, such as 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos.

Note

The processing mode of the panner is determined by the routing of the audio channels. If an audio channel is routed to a 7.1.2 output bus or a group channel, the panner operates in 7.1.2 bed mode. If the channel is routed to an output bus or a group channel in 2D channel configuration, the 3D panning functions are disabled.

  • To open the VST MultiPanner plug-in panel in a separate window, double-click a miniature view of VST MultiPanner in the Inspector or the MixConsole.

  • To show/hide the additional settings and the 3D pan area, click Show/Hide Extended Display /.

Elevation Pattern buttons

Allow you to activate/deactivate predefined elevation patterns for the height parameter.

If no elevation pattern is active, you can manually adjust Bottom-Top Pan.

Top View

Shows the room from the top. The position on the z-axis is represented by the size of the panning handles: the bigger the panning handle, the higher the sound source is positioned in the room. To adjust the position on the z-axis, middle-click and drag.

Rear View

Shows the room from the rear and allows you to position the sound source on the x-axis and z-axis by dragging the panning handles. The position on the y-axis is represented by the size of the panning handles: the bigger the panning handle, the closer to the rear of the room the sound source is positioned. To adjust the position on the y-axis, middle-click and drag.

Bottom-Top Pan

Sets the position of the signal on the z-axis. If you move this control all the way to the right, the sound is transmitted from the top speakers only.

Elevation On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the height parameter.

Note

With elevation deactivated, Bottom-Top Pan is set to bottom, even if automation for bottom-top panning is present. Elevation On/Off can also be automated.

Tilt Signal around Y-Axis

Tilts the sound source around its own y-axis. This option is available for stereo and multi-channel signals only.

Tilt Signal around X-Axis

Tilts the sound source around its own x-axis. This option is available for stereo and multi-channel signals only.

Height Divergence

Determines the attenuation curve that is used when positioning sound sources on the z-axis.
