Do any u-he synths have it? One of my favorite VST synths (Sonic Projects OP-X II) allows each voice within a chord to have slightly different filter/envelope/glide/pan settings. This makes very wide, epic sounding chords, especially when using portamento. I love the versatility of Zebra but it falls short on stereo imaging options for each polyphonic voice.

Is it an addition we can expect in Zebra 3 if/when it comes out? Or Bazille?

Modulating pan per voice is possible in Zebra. Anything on the voice grid is per-voice, and there are a number of places where panning can be modulated. The trick is to ensure a different value for the modulation per-voice. The MMAP module is particularly useful here, check the manual for 'alternate' mode.

DIVA is has some nice tricks here with offsets per voice and configurable voice assignment logic. Bazille has a StackVoice modulation source that's along these lines.

Unless I'm missing something here, hope this helps. Similar patterns can get distinct envelopes or filter characteristics, anything that can be modulated.

Awesome - exactly what I was looking for. Big thanks!
