AutoPan
This auto-pan effect provides several parameters to modulate the left/right stereo position. You can use presets or create individual curves for the modulation waveform. AutoPan also allows for chopping effects by linking the modulation of left and right channel.
- Waveform display
-
Shows the shape of the modulation waveform and allows you to manually adjust it. To draw an individual curve, click a node and move the mouse. To draw a straight line, Shift-click a node and move the mouse.
- Waveform preset buttons
-
Allow you to select presets for the modulation waveform.
-
Sine creates a smooth sweep.
-
Triangle creates a ramp, that is, a linear movement from full right to full left and back.
-
Square creates an instant jump to full right, then to full left, and then back to center.
-
Random One Shot creates a random curve. Click this button again to create a new random curve.
-
Random Continuous automatically creates a new random curve after each period.
-
- Phase
-
Sets the offset for the starting point of the curve. If multiple AutoPan plug-ins are used on different tracks, for example, different offset settings for each track allow for a more organic overall sound.
- Rate
-
Sets the auto-pan speed in Hertz and shows the movement within the panorama.
- Link
-
If this button is activated, the left and right channel are modulated simultaneously. This results in a chopping effect instead of auto-panning.
In this mode, Width sets the intensity of the volume modulation.
- Width
-
Sets the amount of deflection to the left and right side of the stereo panorama. If Link is activated, this parameter sets the intensity of the volume modulation.
- Smooth
-
Allows you to smooth the transition between individual steps of the panorama curve.
