True Pan creative features: high-speed & random LFO's

True Pan started out as a sound engineer's tool which was enhanced by a number of sound design features.

This video showcases four LFO waveforms together with very high modulation rates:
Example 1: Regular circular motion. Can produce chorus and chiptune effects
Example 2: Random oscillator - can produce glitchy or strong flutter effects
Example 3: S & H oscillator #1 - flutter and mild instability effects
Example 4: S & H oscillator #2 - stronger glitch, and crunchier lo-fi effects.

Lowering the speeds (and using tempo sync) open up another category of effects.
The nature of effects can also depend on the spatial content of the sounds. For example, omnidirectional sounds, such as lush pads can be enhanced in very subtle ways, while much stronger effects will result from using narrow (or even mono) inputs.
