Then the top 2 knobs (Front Div/Front Pos & LFE/Center%) control height and the FR Div/FR Pos knob controls Size. This works regardless of whether the Div/Ctr% button is selected, as those controls don't exist in the Dolby plugin. There doesn't seem to be any way to control any of the elevation modes, speaker snap, or speaker zones with the Axos unit.
Thank you for doing the test. I think Axos needs to implement additional controls to enable the new panning modes when working in immersive audio. I guess it is something that it can be made to sort of work using the Dolby Atmos Panner plugin but that is not ideal, it really should work natively in Pro-Tools and support all panning modes. Too bad may be someone will come up with a hardware base panner than works in the new formats.
