Yamaha DX11 Operating Manual page 24

This
pan
effect
is
produced by varying
the
balance
of two instruments assigned
to
outputs
I
and
II
(not
I
+
11).
Thus,
to create a natural
panning
effect,
both
instruments should be using
the
same
voice.
When
editing
Pan
in
UTILITY
mode,
the
DXll
will
automatically
act as
two
identical
instruments (one assigned
to
output
I,
the other
to
output
II),
each playing up
to
four notes.
When
Pan
is
used
in
a performance, you need
to
make
sure that the
two instruments
are assigned to different
outputs.

This determines
the
source of
the
movement.
LFO: The sound
will
be
panned back and
forth
at
the
LFO
speed
(p.9)
Velocity:
Notes with low
velocity (softly
played)
will
be
panned
toward output
I,
and
notes with high
velocity (strongly
played)
will
be
panned toward
output
11.
(This will
be reversed
if
you
select
"Direction:!!-!".)
Note:
Low
notes
(to
the
left
of the
keyboard)
will
be
panned toward
output
i,
and
high notes
toward
output
11.
(This
will
be reversed
if
you
select
"Direction:lIT".)
(2)
Direction
This determines
the direction
of
the
panning
movement,
from
output
1
->
II
or the reverse.
(3)
Range
(0-99)
This determines
the
range of the
pan
effect.
At low

will
barely
move, and
at
high
settings
the
sound
will
be
panned
completely
from one
output
to the other.
