Autopanning Device

Hello,

I have a idea for a new device, which is an Autopan device, such as Pancake 2 (Cable Guys) or Pan-O-Matic (FL Studio)

I think it would be pretty cool and helpful because it'll be able to add more spice to the mix in songs in certain elements

For example, adding a autopan on a hi hat adds more earcandy from my experience

Features to include

Controls:

Pan - Left/Right panning
Volume - output volume

LFO

Amount - amount of LFO to modulate the panning

Speed - The speed of the LFO, turn left to slow down, turn right to speed up

Shapes of LFO - 3 options: sine, triangle, square

LFO Options - 3 options: off, PAN, VOLUME

Pan LFO - modulates the panning

Volume LFO - modulates the volume with LFO

Off - simply turns off the LFO

This is just a simple breakdown of a simple autopan

I hope this can be considered bc its really cool, thank you audiotool!

i love this feature! i feel like it could be paired well with a simple LFO device where you can map it to any (possibly multiple) parameter/s and automate that way! there could be different panning waveforms, depth, offset, etc, similar to ableton's LFO device!

Pan-O-Matic is my go-to for stereo sauce

Super simple too, they could most definitely make this

Very much needed, it kinda sucks trying to make fake sine waves in the automation timeline. The best I can get is a parabolic or circular wave (names based off of waveforms of similar shape from the Heisenburg).
