Valiumdupeuple Panarchy

Panarchy is a  M4L panning device designed to help you achieve (hyper)realistic stereo spatialization. It's a really HiFi sounding device, designed for those who take mixing seriously. You would hardly ever use your DAW pan pot again after using Panarchy.

It also has a great realtime Doppler mode.

It is highly inspired by the excellent Goodhertz Panpot  (and even beats up 2CAudio Precedence, imho, for a 1/10th of the price). You can achieve exactly the same results, and even go further with Panarchy... and did I already said it has a completely controllable doppler too?

It perfectly works with large stereo sources, but it really shines with narrower sounds.

It's compatible with Push3 Standalone.

How???

While traditional mixers only rely on level differences to move a sound to the sides, Panarchy tries to mimic what's happening in the real world where level differences are just a tiny part of the phenomenon.

Panarchy has 5 "attributes" or "panning methods" that you can mix together to create stunning stereo imaging that translates both to stereo monitors and headphones. These "attributes" are:

- DELAY : A sound doesn't reach both ears at the exact same time, so very small delay times are used to move the source around the stereo field. You also have control over the delay time with the « x-lay » fader.

- SPECTRAL : when a sound is placed to your right, your head acts like a filter before the sound arrives to your left ear. So the spectral module introduces timbral differences to mimic that. You can exaggerate this by using the « x-tral » fader.

- PHASE: this one is really special. It's based on phase shifting and you won't find this in many devices. It's weird and great. Yeah, I love it!

- SPACE: unlike the 4 other "attributes", this one isn't trying to get realistic. It's a reverb put at the end of the panning chain (i.e the opposite speaker/side) and can produce even more extreme stereo landscapes.

- LEVEL : you know this one, it's like your traditional mixer/DAW pan pot. When you move a sound to the left, its level is reduced on the right side. The level module does just that, but it uses a custom pan law. (TIP: don't use this one too much, and set it last)

Requirement:

Live 9 minimum (should work on L8 too, but I haven't tried)

Max (M4L) 7 minimum

Compatible with Push3 Standalone
