title: Mono Panner
---                        

<p>
The default mono panner distributes 1 input to 2 outputs. Its
behaviour is controlled by one parameter, called position. The
default setting is "center" (L=50%, R=50%).
</p>

<h2>Mono Panner User Interface</h2>

<div class="well">
<p>
  The mono panner looks a quite similar to the
  <a href="/mixing/panning/stereo_panner">stereo panner</a>
  interface. The difference is that the L/R labels in the lower half
  of the mono panner do not move because there is no "width" to
  control.
</p>
</div>

<h2>Using the mouse</h2>

<p>To change the position smoothly, press the right button and drag
  anywhere within the panner. <em>Note: you do not need
  to grab the position indicator in order to drag</em>
</p>

<h2>Keyboard bindings</h2>

<p>
When the pointer is within a mono panner user interface, the following
keybindings are available to operate on that panner:
</p>

<dl>
  <dt><kbd>&larr;</kbd> / <kbd class="mod1">&larr;</kbd></dt>
  <dd>move position 1&deg; / 5&deg; to the left</dd>
  <dt><kbd>&rarr;</kbd> / <kbd class="mod1">&rarr;</kbd></dt>
  <dd>move position 1&deg / 5&deg; to the right</dd>
  <dt><kbd>0</kbd></dt>
  <dd>reset position to center</dd>
</dl>

<h2>Using the scroll wheel/touch scroll</h2>

<p>
When the pointer is within a mono panner user interface, the scroll
wheel may be used as follows:
</p>

<dl>
<dt>up or left / <kbd class="mod1">up</kbd> or <kbd class="mod1">left</kbd></dt>
<dd>move position to the left by 1&deg; / 5&deg;</dd>

<dt>down or right / <kbd class="mod1">down</kbd> or <kbd class="mod1">right</kbd></dt>
<dd>move position to the right by 1&deg; / 5&deg;</dd>
</dl>
