PsychoPan

About

PsychoPan is a modulation plugin by W. A. Production. It places sound in three dimensions within a standard stereo stream, covering depth, elevation, front-to-back placement and distance. An XY pad sets horizontal placement using psychoacoustic phase and time differences, and vertical movement sets the perceived elevation above or below the horizon. A Zone Module uses spectral shifts to separate sounds front to back, and a Distance Slider covers five perceptual zones from Close to Distant.
