Slice the pan automatically from left to right using a variety of different control waves. Behaves similarly to slicer and wobble FX but modifies stereo panning of sound in left and right speakers.

Introduced in v2.6

Parameters

amp:

The amplitude of the resulting effect.

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes

mix:

The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.

Default: 1
Must be a value between 0 and 1 inclusively
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes

pre_amp:

Amplification applied to the input signal immediately before it is passed to the FX.

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes
Scaled with current BPM value

phase:

The phase duration (in beats) of the slices

Default: 0.25
Must be greater than zero
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes
Scaled with current BPM value

pan_min:

write me

Default: -1
Can not be changed once set
Has slide parameters to shape changes

pan_max:

write me

Default: 1
Can not be changed once set
Has slide parameters to shape changes

pulse_width:

The width of the pulse wave as a value between 0 and 1. A width of 0.5 will produce a square wave. Different values will change the timbre of the sound. Only valid if wave is type pulse.

Default: 0.5
Must be a value between 0 and 1 exclusively
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes

phase_offset:

Initial phase offset.

Default: 0
Must be a value between 0 and 1 inclusively
Can not be changed once set

wave:

Control waveform used to modulate the amplitude. 0=saw, 1=pulse, 2=tri, 3=sine

Default: 1
Must be one of the following values: [0, 1, 2, 3]
May be changed whilst playing

invert_wave:

Invert control waveform (i.e. flip it on the y axis). 0=uninverted wave, 1=inverted wave.

Default: 0
Must be one of the following values: [0, 1]
May be changed whilst playing

probability:

Probability (as a value between 0 and 1) that a given slice will be replaced by the value of the prob_pos opt (which defaults to 0, i.e. silence)

Default: 0
Must be a value between 0 and 1 inclusively
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes

prob_pos:

Position of the slicer that will be jumped to when the probability test passes as a value between 0 and 1

Default: 0
Must be a value between 0 and 1 inclusively
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide parameters to shape changes

seed:

Seed value for rand num generator used for probability test

Default: 0
Must be zero or greater
Can not be changed once set

smooth:

Amount of time in seconds to transition from the current value to the next. Allows you to round off harsh edges in the slicer wave which may cause clicks.

Default: 0
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing

smooth_up:

Amount of time in seconds to transition from the current value to the next only when the value is going up. This smoothing happens before the main smooth mechanism.

Default: 0
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing

smooth_down:

Amount of time in seconds to transition from the current value to the next only when the value is going down. This smoothing happens before the main smooth mechanism.

Default: 0
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing

Slide Parameters

Any parameter that is slidable has three additional parameters named _slide, _slide_curve, and _slide_shape. For example, 'amp' is slidable, so you can also set amp_slide, amp_slide_curve, and amp_slide_shape with the following effects:

_slide:

Amount of time (in beats) for the parameter value to change. A long parameter_slide value means that the parameter takes a long time to slide from the previous value to the new value. A parameter_slide of 0 means that the parameter instantly changes to the new value.

Default: 0

_slide_shape:

Shape of curve. 0: step, 1: linear, 3: sine, 4: welch, 5: custom (use curvature param), 6: squared, 7: cubed

Default: 5

_slide_curve:

Shape of the slide curve (only honoured if slide shape is 5). 0 means linear and positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down respectively.

Default: 0
