Panorama knob

Hello people, this is probably an issue that the apple developers can fix...


In logic pro X I notice that the pan knob is not able to be set to equal values in both sides

Left can go full - 64 but right can only reach +63


Besides from this I would also love the ability to import from Cubase via AAF but this function is not currently working, events are not synced properly.



Best regards, Brock

It is not an issue. It is derived from MIDI, which knows 128 values: (-) 63 + 64 = 127 values + 0 = 128 values. With -64 and =+64 you'd have 129 values, which is not binary and therefore completely unworkable.

-63 is full left, +64 is full right. panning to the left gives indeed a super slight mathematical difference, that is of no practical consequence. for instance: 20 is actually 19.6875. Nobody can hear that difference, not even with a million dolar headphone and amp combination on a blind audio engineer. They could leave out 0, but then there would not be a "dead center". And dead center is more important than the inaudible difference between panning at 20 or 19.7.
