Does a plugin like this exist ?

A panner plugin that gives you preset curves and let's you draw them yourself as well for stereo to surround configurations.

Offset, Speed, Spread from center, include/exclude outputs(to exclude the center and/or LFE for example). Perhaps even some filters to cycle in synch with the panner.

I know film people who'd pay for a plugin like this, believe you me.

Does such a plugin exist already ?

nice idea.. sounds like a panner plugin with an lfo or three attached...

Sounds like a hybrid of Spin Audio's 3d Panner Motion Effects and their FX Designer to me...

seems like that tool was available in some of the early daws. The ability to draw your own curves was especially useful.
Did cool edit have that feature? cannot remember...

Maybe Minion can do what you want (including filters). It's free, so you can try it.

Good call, I was just off searching my vst folders for it when you posted, just to remind myself of what it did

Pro-Tools allows you to draw autmation so it is a non linear curve.

I haven't installed Acousmodules vsts but remember some of this kind of panner on their stuff ... maybe wrong

Try getting Pro Tools to run on XP without spending thousands of moolahs...

I was thinking Automation too.

Just do it(moving panning) and record in realtime or draw freehand in your hosting program like Sonar etc.

So any plugin that supports controlling panning with a midi CC and automation, and a host that supports automation in a good way would do what you want.

Sonar producer edition (PE) supports surround as well.

BTW, this sorta stuff is piss easy to do in EnergyXT. You can draw a curve in an envelope component or track in the sequencer, set it to the bar length you need, and assign it to anything - pan, volume, cuttoff.. etc..

too bad we can't sequence through envelopes though.. or can we?

Well, you actually can in eXT using enelope clips.

You can draw pan envelopes in FL Studio also, as well as cutoff, volume, etc.

And yes, Cool Edit 2 Pro does have this feature as well, as well as a million other great things.

However, as far as a VST goes, I dunno, nice idea though.

Does it exist : Panner with curve presets
