Title: Let's Talk Panning Strategies
Post by: WytchCrypt on January 10, 2017, 05:19:09 PM
Hi all, finally getting to do some voice creation and the P12 implementation of panning is taking me a bit of effort to wrap my head around.  I understand there is no hard panning of individual oscillators within a voice because all oscillators run through the same character->filter->VCA path.  Controlling panning seems a challenging prospect...then throw in the modulation source Pan, Pan Spread and 4 Delay Pans and my head is spinning - or is that panning  ;)

I was wondering if others with voice creation experience could comment on how they approach P12 panning to create stereo movement?

Thanks!

Almost a year ago and no reply... ???

I have the same question. Can anyone help? How do you handle this?

Hi,

usually i take a DC as source to pan the voice out of center. Sometimes let it run back trough center to the other side with Note Number as source for the move. Usually i avoid the moded panning of the delays and place them static. (Otherwise my brain would start to pan like initially mentioned.) Sometimes i use a envelope to let the sound move around a bit.
-try "evolver mode" take your voice pan it relatively hard with the DC, copy it to layer B and pan it on the other side to get a stereo voice in Stack mode to double the crazyness. :) I havent tried to delay the Amp attacks for timing based pan.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! Sorry, I'm new to synths (and german) - what does DC (design compliant? direct current?) mean in modulation terms?

And could you please explain "Note Number as source"?

Thanks! So only this question is left:
"And could you please explain "Note Number as source"?

Edit: Done. I found a thread with the answer.
