Default unable to pan via chan. strip encoders

The encoders for panning parameters are not working on the channel strips. The panning acts as if one is holding down the OPTION key--the panning jumps to the default position as soon as you move the knob. The panning knobs on the master module work, as do the joysticks. Just not the encoders on any given channel strip. This is happening only on one of four connected PT rigs, so I'm guessing it might be a setting in Pro Tools?

thanks in advance,

oldmanpotter

Default Re: unable to pan via chan. strip encoders

Greetings,

If the value actually jumps from X to 0 then a default / null is being performed which indicates an OPTION key is being triggered somewhere from that particular workstation. I presume you have relaunched WS and PT on that rig? What version combination of WS, PT and OS are you running?


best,



Jeff

Thanks Jeff,

Note that this behavior only happens with that particular encoder, not with the joysticks, or the master module encoders. Yes, I did restart the entire system. Here are the specs:
M40 frame
WS version 18.3.0.244
OSX 10.12.6
PT 2018 4.0

So - a single encoder on a Process Module or a Knob Module? Do the other encoders on that same module work fine?

Not sure about the other encoders on that module--I'll test later--but I know that the same encoder (bottom knob of the knob module) on other channel strips are behaving in the same manner.

Jeff,

Thanks for your advice but the problem has fixed itself--unable to get it to repeat.
