Vol/Pan: supported by which Fractal Audio products?
- Axe-Fx II: yes.
- AX8: yes.
- FX8: yes.
X/Y switching in the Volume block
The Volume block doesn't support X/Y switching.
Audio tapers in Volume block
The Volume block offers various audio tapers.
Fractal Audio:
"The number is the percentage at the halfway point. I.e. Log 20A means that the resistance is 20% at the halfway point in the travel. So if you put the knob at noon, the volume would be 20% of maximum (about -14 dB)." source
To simulate a Log taper in a modifier menu, set "Mid" in the modifier menu to 20%. Adjust Slope to avoid the dead zone.
Process one side of the signal in the Volume block
Like the Amp block and Drive blocks, the Input Select parameter enables the Vol/Pan block to operate on the left or right input signal only, or both (stereo). It can send the processed signal to either side, using Balance, or keep it stereo.
Use the Volume block for special tasks

Signal routing
The Volume block doesn't require much CPU. This makes it a handy tool for routing. Set its Bypass parameter to Mute and put it at the start of a split signal, to enable or disable a certain routing within a preset, depending on the bypass state of the Volume block. You can engage or bypass the block per scene.
