Gallery Axis Panner
Power Tools for Audio Post Production

Introducing Axis, the essential addition for any serious digidesign Pro Tools surround mixing studio. The Axis system includes both software and hardware designed to provide professional control of your surround mix. The Axis system include the Axis Panner professional joystick. This unit offers an industrial quality mechanism built into an elegant yet rugged steel chassis. An ADB or USB device, it allows easy connection to your Macintosh computer, without additional interfacing, or tying up a serial port, and provides smooth control of surround position.

The core of the system is the Axis software which interfaces the Axis Panner and other devices with the surround software you use within Pro Tools. Other supported devices include Gallery’s MissionControl panner, the JLCooper MCS Panner, Generic Midi controllers, and Wacom Pen tablets (where the pen tip controls the mouse and the eraser controls the pan position).

Axis provides a device independant control mechanism to software developers allowing TDM plug-ins, applications and even system extensions to benefit from external control by any Axis-compliant device. Axis is already supported by Kind Of Loud Technology’s SmartPan TDM plug-in which offers 5.1 and 7.1 panning, and any other software which can accept Midi controllers as input parameters, or which is modified to support the Axis API. Other TDM Plug-ins and applications will offer support in future, and Axis will support additional hardware peripherals
