Audio Damage Panstation - Manual (Page 13)

Diverge – somewhat similar to the Ramp shapes, the Diverge shape makes the sound move smoothly
from the center to one side, jump back to the center, move smoothly to the other side, and jump back
to the center. When used for tremolo effects, the Diverge shape makes the sound fade out to silence
then jump back to full volume.
Converge – like the Diverge setting, but the sound moves smoothly from one side to the center,
jumps to the other side, and moves smoothly back to the center. When used for tremolo effects, the
Converge shape makes the sound fade smoothly up to full volume then jump back to silence.
Aside from the Diverge and Converge shapes, all of the wave shapes are modeled on those found in the
Drawmer M500.
Triggered Operation
We haven’t yet mentioned one of Panstation’s more interesting features: triggering. Panstation can delay its
panning/tremolo effects until is triggered either by the incoming audio signal or a MIDI Note-On message.
Panstation can also count the number of triggers it receives, up 16, and fire on whichever trigger you
designate. Once Panstation is triggered, a simple envelope generator controls the intensity and duration of the
panning/tremolo effect.
The following controls all relate to Panstation’s triggered operation.
Trigger Source
The Trigger Source popup menu selects one of several operational modes in Panstation. These modes are as
follows:
Free – probably the most obvious mode, Free means that
Panstation runs continuously, without requiring a trigger to
start. It starts as soon as you insert it into your host, and keeps
going like an overused ad campaign. Most of the trigger-related
controls are disabled in this mode since they are not relevant.
Audio – The Audio Trigger Source setting means that
Panstation’s LFOs will not start oscillating until the plug-in
receives an audio signal (on either channel) that exceeds the
TRIGGER THRESHOLD setting. Once Panstation is triggered,
subsequent audio signals will not retrigger it until the envelope generator completes its cycle.
