Description::
|
|
|
|
Multichannel equal power panner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
classmethods::
|
|
|
|
method::ar, kr
|
|
|
|
argument::numChans
|
|
|
|
Number of output channels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument::in
|
|
|
|
The input signal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument::pos
|
|
|
|
pan position. Channels are evenly spaced over a cyclic period of
|
|
2.0 in pos with 0.0 equal to channel zero and 2.0/numChans equal
|
|
to channel 1, 4.0/numChans equal to channel 2, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thus all channels will be cyclically panned through if a sawtooth
|
|
wave from -1 to +1 is used to modulate the pos.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument::level
|
|
|
|
A control rate level input.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument::width
|
|
|
|
The width of the panning envelope. Nominally this is 2.0 which
|
|
pans between pairs of adjacent speakers. Width values greater
|
|
than two will spread the pan over greater numbers of speakers.
|
|
Width values less than one will leave silent gaps between
|
|
speakers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument::orientation
|
|
|
|
Should be zero if the front is a vertex of the polygon. The first
|
|
speaker will be directly in front. Should be 0.5 if the front
|
|
bisects a side of the polygon. Then the first speaker will be the
|
|
one left of center.
|
|
|
|
section::Comparison to Pan2
|
|
|
|
Despite a certain similarity, link::Classes/Pan2:: and link::Classes/PanAz:: with 2 channels behave differently.
|
|
|
|
code::
|
|
// one full cycle for PanAz: from 0 to 1
|
|
{ PanAz.ar(2, DC.ar(1), Line.ar(0, 1, 0.1)) }.plot(0.1)
|
|
// one full cycle for Pan2: from -1 to 1 and back to -1
|
|
{ Pan2.ar(DC.ar(1), EnvGen.kr(Env([-1, 1, -1], [0.05, 0.05]))) }.plot(0.1)
|
|
|
|
// in other words, while Pan2 makes one full transition
|
|
{ Pan2.ar(DC.ar(1), Line.ar(-1, 1, 0.1)) }.plot(0.1)
|
|
// we need only a half one in PanAz:
|
|
{ PanAz.ar(2, DC.ar(1), Line.ar(0, 1/2, 0.1)) }.plot(0.1)
