Autopan
This plug-in works a bit like an LFO in a synthesizer, allowing you to
send out continuously changing MIDI controller messages. One typi-
cal use for this is automatic MIDI panning (hence the name), but you
can select any MIDI Continuous Controller event type. The Autopan
effect has the following parameters:
Waveform selectors
These determine the shape of the controller curves sent out. The results
of most of these waveforms are obvious from looking at the buttons, but
a few of them require some extra explanations:
This generates a “random” controller curve.
These generate curves with a “periodical envelope”. The amplitude will gradually
increase or decrease over a time, set with the Period parameter (see below).
Period
This is where you set the speed of the Autopan, or rather the length of
a single controller curve cycle. The value can be set in ticks (1/480ths
of quarter notes), or as rhythmically exact note values (by clicking the
arrow buttons next to the value). The lower the note value, the slower
the speed. For example, if you set this to 240 (“8th”) the waveform will
be repeated every eighth note.
