The audio signal from the Volume Page feeds the Output Page, which is the Instrument's final stage. It only contains two controls:
  • The Disable Reverb button controls whether the Instrument will send a signal to Beatnik's global reverb processor. If this button is on, then the Instrument will always sound `dry' no matter how the global reverb is set, and no matter which reverb type is selected for the Songs that use the Instrument.
  • Stereo Pan position. This is set as a number, with 0 indicating center, -64 indicating full Left, and 64 indicating full Right.

There are three ways to set the Pan position:

  • Drag the slider control.
  • Drag in the large Left - Right display.
  • Type a number into the numeric Stereo Pan field.

Notes:

  • If you want to use any stereo Samples in an Instrument, you'll probably want to avoid using the Stereo Pan control.
  • If you're going to mix mono and stereo Samples in the same Instrument, you'll probably want to avoid using the Stereo Pan control.
  • If you want to use the Stereo Pan control on an Instrument, you'll have to use mono Samples.

    This is all because whenever an Instrument is playing a stereo Sample, the Stereo Pan control is bypassed. As a result, bad-sounding artifacts can occur when a panned Instrument switches from a mono Sample to a stereo Sample, or vice versa.
