Where to get itAvailable from Audio Damageaudiodamage.com

AD052 Panstation 2 is an auto-panner and tremolo effect plugin that uses a pair of low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) to modulate the gain of left and right audio channels independently. It recreates the behavior of classic hardware auto-panners like the Drawmer M500 and Audio & Design PanScan, offering a complete professional toolbox for creating sophisticated panning, tremolo, and gating effects with an intuitive interface.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Pair of LFOs controlling left and right channel gain independently
02Multiple panning laws: Equal Power, M500, Equal Distance, Linear
03Wave shapes: Sine, Duo Sine, Tri Sine, Triangle, Steps, Ramp, Saw, Wide Square, Square, Diverge, Converge
04Triggered operation with envelope generator (Attack, Decay, Trigger Time)
05Trigger sources: Free, Input, Sidechain, MIDI Note Trigger, MIDI Note Position, MIDI Pan Controller
06Host tempo sync with metrical range 1/32 to 2/1
07LFO rate 0.01 Hz to 50 Hz in free mode
08Bias and Offset controls for phase relationship and channel-specific modulation

Things to Try

  • 01Set Offset to 180 degrees for straightforward back-and-forth panning; set Offset to 0 or 360 for tremolo without stereo movement
  • 02Use the M500 panning law to emphasize motion and produce dramatic results by attenuating the signal at the center of the stereo field
  • 03Select Steps or Wide Square wave shapes and use Offset near 180 for twitchy-sounding tremolo or gated effects
  • 04In MIDI Note Position mode, set Attack and Decay controls to create panning effects that grow or fade relative to note triggers
