Mid is not the same as Mono?
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2022 1:05 pm
I have a hardware synth (vermona perfourmer) with a Pan knob, where I can pan the sound hard left or hard right. I would like to use it in such a way that I when I pan the sound, the signal will go through an FX bus. When the signal is panned in the middle, it will not have any effects. That way I can use the hardware buttons in an extended way to change the sound in a live performance.
Using Utility I can split the signal into mids and sides only in m/s mode. But what happens when i hardpan the sound left, it still shows up in the mid channel, on a slightly lower volume. That should not be the case right? If i split a stereo signal into a mid's only and a sides only signal path, The sides become the sounds that are the differences between left and right, and the mid channel the sum of the sounds that are equal. Thats how I understand Mid/Side, correct?
By this definition it is different from just summing all the sounds in mono. If I only want MID, There should not be any sound when I pan it hard left. How to I achieve this?
