Dual Cab, Wheres the pan control?

[boogiem]

A dual Cab Block have each cab panned hard Left/Right, and no pan control for each cab.

To make a mono rig with a Dual Cab block, you have to use a mono block after the cab block to sum a dual cab block to mono.

 

I hope a future fw. update will add panning for each cab in a Dual Cab block.   :)

Absolutely correct.... I wish the dual cab included a PAN control on each cab as well, or at least  "mono" option. 

Sometimes we just want to blend the sound, not separate them. 

 

The nice thing (currently) is that ANY mono block after the cab works fine... most people will run something after the cabinet, as long as it's MONO you're not wasting a block just for that purpose. 

 

In the meantime... there is a request for this feature on IdeaScale... feel free to upvote it.

Here's an excerpt from my Helix book, hope it helps...

Modify Dual Cab Panning

To alter the hard right/left stereo imaging, insert a Stereo Volume/Pan block after the dual cab block. Choose the Stereo Width parameter.

 

 

[caption] When using a Dual Cab block, the Stereo Width parameter can edit the panning width. The settings (outlined in white) bring the two Cabs 24% closer to center.

 

The Width slider goes from centered (slider full left) to hard left/hard right (slider fully right). In between those extremes, the width increases as you move the slider more to the right. To have the sound “lean” more toward one side of the stereo image than the other (e.g., more like panning than just width), edit the Balance parameter.

Does this give a different result than if you edit the 'mix' in the merge of paths A/B if you are running a cab per each path?  

 

I have a 'brite' cab and a 'dark' cab.  each on its own line running parallel.  To manipulate my tone for certain songs I am changing the merge points mixer levels.  Would this Stereo Width be a 'better' option or would it be the same result?
