To create Panstation, we started with a free model of the panning mechanism of the venerable Drawmer M500, and then added counting functions from Audio to it & Design PanScan (probably the most famous vintage auto pan and the “secret weapon” of many famous producers).
The result is an autopanner plugin that has no equal in either its set of functions or its sound. A complete overhaul of its predecessor, Panstation 2 brings Audio Damage’s classic autopanner into the modern era.
Featuring a brilliant vector user interface, a new preset manager and external sidechain input, Panstation 2 is ready to enhance stereo imaging on more platforms than ever before.
Various panning laws
Four characteristics, including an exact 1:1 clone of the M500’s panning law.
Auxiliary summing of input channels
Summation of a stereo input signal to mono prior to processing.
Low Frequency Oscillators
Free or host-synced modulation with eleven pan/tremolo waveforms, including all M500 waveforms.
Trigger Control
Audio level trigger with threshold control or MIDI note trigger to modulate effect intensity using a dedicated, adjustable envelope generator.
MIDI Control
Use MIDI note number or CC control to control panning.
Fine Modulation Controls Modulation
depth, LFO time offset between left and right channel, LFO global phase to offset waveform starting positions, stereo channel offset weight modulation, LFO frequency in Hz or fractions of musical measure.
Fully customizable Hi-DPI
GUI Panstation 2’s vector-based GUI is resolution independent and displays the same on any system and resolution. Easily resize the UI (per instance) to suit your visual needs, from postage stamp size to poster size.
Cross-platform preset format
Panstation 2 uses an XML-based preset manager. Work seamlessly across multiple systems, create presets on your desktop and insert them into the iOS version using Handoff, easily share your creations with friends, or create packs of presets to sell.
