AutoPan

Create Captivating Stereo Motion with AutoPan from MB-PlugIns

Immerse yourself in a world of dynamic soundscapes with AutoPan – a powerful automatic panning plugin from MB-PlugIns. This tool is an indispensable assistant for any musician, producer, or sound engineer who seeks to add life and movement to their mixes, creating an enveloping surround sound effect that captivates the listener.

AutoPan allows you to easily and intuitively automate the movement of sound between the left and right channels, transforming a static stereo image into a vibrant, breathing sound canvas. Whether you’re working with mono or stereo signals, the plugin provides the flexibility and precision needed to realize your creative ideas.

Key Features of AutoPan:

  • Flexible LFO Control: The heart of AutoPan is the low-frequency oscillator (LFO), offering a choice of 6 different waveforms. This allows you to create both smooth, wave-like movements and sharp, rhythmic shifts, opening up a wide range of experimental possibilities.
  • Detailed Control: You can precisely adjust the LFO frequency (panning speed), pulse width (for some waveforms), overall signal volume, and pan width (range of movement between channels). This gives you full control over the character and intensity of the effect.
  • Works with Mono and Stereo: The plugin efficiently processes both monophonic and stereophonic signals, allowing you to add panning movement to any sound source in your project.
  • Intuitive Interface: Despite its powerful features, AutoPan has a simple and clear interface, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced users.

Panning Modes:

AutoPan offers two unique operating modes that fundamentally change the way the signal moves in the stereo field:

  • Normal Mode: In this mode, both input channels (or a mono signal split into two) pan synchronously from the left to the right channel and back. This creates the classic “panning” effect of sound across the stereo space, ideal for creating smooth movement or highlighting individual mix elements.
  • Rotate Mode: This mode offers a more complex and interesting movement. While one channel pans from left to right, the other channel pans synchronously but in the opposite direction – from right to left, and vice versa. This creates a sense of rotation or expansion of the sound, adding unpredictability and depth to the mix. This mode is particularly effective for creating psychedelic effects, textures, or for “spinning” synthesizers or effects.

Compatibility:

AutoPan from MB-PlugIns is available in VST format and is compatible with the Windows operating system (Win32), making it easily integrated into most popular digital audio workstations (DAWs) on this platform.

Add AutoPan to your plugin collection to open up new horizons for the creative use of stereo space. Experiment with different LFO shapes, panning modes, and settings to find the perfect movement for each element of your track. With AutoPan, your mixes will sound more lively, dynamic, and interesting!
