VST MultiPanner allows you to restrict the movement within the pan area. This way, you can move the sound source along a specific axis, for example, from bottom left to top right.
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 very fine movements. This is useful when panning in one of the miniature displays, for example.
Modifier key: Shift
Horizontal Movements Only
Mouse movements are restricted to horizontal.
Modifier key: Ctrl/Cmd
Vertical Movements Only
Mouse movements are restricted to vertical.
Modifier key: Ctrl/Cmd-Shift
Diagonal Movements - Bottom Left to Top Right
Mouse movements are restricted to diagonal from bottom left to top right.
Modifier key: Alt/Opt
Diagonal Movements - Bottom Right to Top Left
Mouse movements are restricted to diagonal from bottom right to top left.
Modifier key: Alt/Opt-Shift
Jump to Positioning Handle
In this mode, the mouse pointer jumps immediately 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 always moves the mouse pointer to the closest panning handle.
Position Left/Right Channels Independently
Mouse movements are restricted to left channels or right channels only.
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. This means it is not possible to record automation for one stereo channel and then add automation for the other stereo channel in a second go, for example.
Note
The movement restriction buttons do not affect the controls in the positioning section at the bottom of the window.
