Adjust LFO modulation speed for dynamic panning
Problem: static or mismatched panning motion
Pancake's LFO section allows changing modulation speed between synced beat (linked to tempo) and unsynced Hertz modes (fixed frequency). Synced beat mode creates rhythmic panning patterns that match the track's tempo,…
Use mix knob to control pan strength
Problem: over-panning causing instability
The mix knob reduces the intensity of panning modulation. Lowering it makes the stereo movement subtler, preventing over-panning that could destabilize the mix. This is crucial for maintaining balance between width and…
Draw custom LFO shapes for unique panning patterns
Problem: limited panning motion options
The LFO editor lets users create custom waveforms by adding points and adjusting curves. Starting with triangle/sine shapes and modifying them with soft/hard points enables precise control over panning motion.…
MIDI-triggered panning for rhythmic automation
Problem: static panning not synced to performance
Switching to beat/Hertz retrigger modes allows MIDI notes to trigger LFO cycles. This creates syncopated panning effects that respond to musical events, ideal for adding movement to synths or percussion without manual…
Use Pan Shaper for multi-band stereo panning
Problem: limited stereo control over frequency ranges
Pan Shaper (the advanced version) allows separate panning of bass, mids, and treble frequencies. Each band has independent LFO and envelope followers, enabling surgical control like widening highs while keeping lows…
