Does anyone know of a hardware panner controller that would work with Logic for surround mixing? Some sort of joystick thing I would think. I have a Logic Control but it doesn't have this capability. Also does anyone know of a way to get more than one surround pan window open? thanks Michael Brook

I checked a horizontal move: one controller goes continuousely 126-0-126 from left to right. The other one is 96 in the left half and 32 in the right half. If I send just one Fader #26 (or was it 23?) with values from 0-127 I get a full circle. I didn't figure out the relations of the two messages right now but I am pretty sure it can be done with a couple of transformers and i.e. with the joystick of the microKONTROL which is configurable for mid zero. I do not use surround but if anybody wants I can try to set it up this evening. >> Also does anyone know of a way to get more than one surround pan >> window Don't know, I also get just one.

One tells the distance from the center point and one is a value on this periphery (0-127 clockwise). Good concept but hard to map an X/Y joystick to that with current environment tools. Would involve manual mapping of 127x127 values, trigonometric functions or some sophisticated technique to get sinus curves (I guess) with transformer maps. Peter Ostry
