Surround Panner
by Ableton
Using a streamlined set of controls, Surround Panner gives you precise control of your surround field. The Rotate control allows you to adjust circular movement in a two-dimensional space. The Smooth control allows you to make fluid position changes, even when using stepped automation that would otherwise produce a jarring effect. Focus controls how much a signal positioned in one speaker bleeds into the other speakers in the array. And Center provides volume compensation for signals panned into the middle of the surround field [that usually sound louder]. Finally, a multi-dimensional crossfader enables experimental routing and advanced sound design.
