SAC User Manual
This control has a slope value associated with it that controls how fast the level change occurs.
Smaller slope values create a more instant response, and larger values create a slower response.
Return FX Post Fader Patch
The data next passes through the FX Post Fader Patch. This allows you to patch in SAC or
SAWStudio native plug-ins, or DirectX or VST plug-ins. These FX process in the order they are
patched.

The yellow FX icon will display a bar graphic across the two holes when plug-ins are assigned.
[Left-Clicking] on this icon will display a broken bar, which means the plug-ins are bypassed.
This FX Patch processes the data at an internal resolution of 24 bits, regardless of the final session
resolution setting.
Return XY Surround Pan (FOH Console Only)
The data next passes through the XY Surround Pan routine. This joystick type control adjusts the
balance of signal levels split off to the eight surround points designated around the perimeter of the
control. These eight split off signals are blended together in the surround pan internal buffers and
output to discreet audio device outs based on the XY Pan Out Assignments on the output channels.
The Sub Send controls the signal level sent to the separate Sub XY Pan Out Assignment.
The Center Send controls the signal level sent to the separate Center XY Pan Out Assignment.
The XY Pan In/Out switch enables or disables the use of the XY Pan routine for this channel. If
surround panning is not being used, this switch should be left out, so there is no unnecessary extra
load on the CPU. Processing the signal to the surround buffers will add processing load to the overall
playback performance.
The XY Pan has individual node point control. You may click on each of the eight node surround
points on any channel, and the node will toggle between active and inactive. The node turns red
when it is inactive. When a node is inactive, audio from that XY Pan will not feed that particular output
bus. You may use this feature to keep music out of the center channel for instance. These nodes may
be automated, allowing you to toggle them during automated playback.
Return Out Assign
The data ends up at the Out Assign switches. These switches control the destination routing of the
channel signal. These switches may be combined allowing the channels to be routed to multiple
output destination devices at the same time.
These switches represent stereo audio device outputs. To force the destination to one side of the
output device, use the Pan Slider, coupled with the Mono switch if needed.
When using the XY Surround Pans, the Out Assign switches should most likely be left off and the final
signal destination will be controlled by the XY Pan Out Assignments on the Output Channels.
