Panning

Fig. 1 shows a typical patch to create Panning - the
shifting of a sound’s position in the stereo picture.

The input signal is simultaneously sent to two linear
VCAs, whose outputs are sent one to the left (Out

L

)

and one to the right (Out

R

) stereo channel. Both VCAs

are being modulated by the same slow LFO. One of
the VCAs has the LFO voltage patched straight into it,
but the other has an A-175 patched in line first, so
receives the LFO voltage inverted.

Fig. 1: Panning

The changing state of the LFO voltages results in
corresponding changes in the perceived position of the
sound in the stereo picture.

H

It’s important to set the gain parameter on
both VCAs to roughly halfway.

P

Interesting types of panning can result if you
use a different modulator (for instance, AM,
FM, Random Voltage, S&H).

If you replace the two VCAs with two A-125
VCPs, the result is a sort of rotating stereo
phasing.

Mirroring a scale or arpeggio

The patch in Fig. 2 shows a way of using two VCOs to
create a mirror-image of a series of notes.

The pitch CV is patched directly to VCO 1, but goes
through an A-175 and is inverted before it gets to VCO
2.

H

The relative pitch of VCO 2 can be controlled
with an attenuator.
