Panstation by Audio Damage: Master of Space and Movement
Immerse yourself in the world of spatial sound with Panstation by Audio Damage – the ultimate autopanner that opens up new horizons for your mixes.
Panstation is a high-quality autopanner plugin designed to add movement and depth to your audio tracks. It doesn’t just change the sound position in the panorama, but does it with a unique character, inspired by classic devices.
History and Inspiration
The developers at Audio Damage have taken the famous hardware autopanners as a basis: the Drawmer M500 for its unique panning mechanism and the Audio & Design PanScan for its famous audio-based counting function.
The result is a plugin that combines the warmth of vintage equipment with the flexibility of a modern digital tool. Panstation aims to be the best in its class, offering an unparalleled set of features and exceptional sound.
Key Features of Panstation
- Panning Laws: Choose from four different panning laws, including the exact reproduction of the M500 law. This allows you to achieve the same sense of space as on the original equipment.
- Waveforms: Ten waveforms are at your disposal for controlling panning, including all the shapes available in the M500. Experiment with sine, triangle, sawtooth, step shapes, and many more to create the perfect movement.
- Synchronization and Control: Panstation offers extraordinary flexibility in speed and launch control. You can use free-run mode, synchronize the plugin with your project’s tempo via MIDI, launch panning by a MIDI note, control the speed by a MIDI note number, or use MIDI CC.
- Audio Signal Counting: A unique counting function, borrowed from the A&D PanScan, allows you to launch or control the panning speed based on the incoming audio signal. This creates dynamic and reactive effects that respond to your music.
- Simple Interface: The developers have taken care of ease of use. The Panstation interface is easy to read, despite the large number of functions. No tiny fonts or confusing menus.
- Phase Control: Adjust the relative phase of the left and right channels to create tremolo or stereo base widening effects. This adds another dimension to your spatial experiments.
- MIDI Learn: Full MIDI CC control is available for each plugin parameter thanks to the MIDI Learn function. Integrate Panstation into your controller for live performances or automation.
