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
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
Just like in 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 then send the processed signal to either side (Balance parameter) or keep it stereo.
Automate volume swells with the Volume block
Use the Volume block as a noise gate
The Volume block can operate as a noise gate. Attach the Volume parameter to the Envelope controller. As long as you don't hit the strings, the input signal will be muted.
Use the Volume block for routing
The Volume block doesn't require much CPU. This makes it a good tool for routing. By setting its Bypass parameter to mute and placing it at the start of a branch, you can enable or disable a certain routing within a preset, depending on the state of the Volume block. You can engage or bypass the block per preset scene.
