(Check out our review of the Soundtoys Decapitator.) Soundtoys PanMan One nice bonus, if you don’t already own a Decapitator or other saturation effect, you can select an analog style to dirty up the track. There’s also Attack and Release so that you can control how quickly the effect kicks in and how slowly it is released. The Threshold is the signal level required before the LFO kicks in. It you use the Tweak button, it reveals more options. LFO gives you the ability to tune the knob for precise control of the panning. There’s several options for Modulations as well. This knob lets you tweak it to get it just right. This can be a great effect, or really ruin the sound. A hard pan will snap it from one side to the other, so it’s more rhythmic, but it can “slur” the sound. Smoothing is crucial when trying to synch with the beat. Setting a narrow width can really help with that. There’s always some kind of motion in the background. While is might not sound like a lot is going on instrumentation wise, there’s not a lot of silence. A lot of music today really fills in the sonic landscape in a more subtle fashion. While most people think of something like Led Zeppelin’s “What Is and What Should Never Be” or psychedelic headphone music when they think of panning, it can be very useful in a less obvious way. The width control lets you decide how drastic you want the panning to be. You can send it to the back (with reverb perhaps or lowering the volume) and have it just pan from left to center left, or center left to center. This can be really useful if you are trying to add in a little motion without being overwhelming or taking up too much space. For instance, say you want to pan from left to center instead of left to right. Offset can be used to give one side preference. The interface changes slightly depending upon the options selected. In typical Soundtoys fashion, rather than model a particular piece of hardware (many others do that) they study many aspects of classic hardware and come up with something original based on the best ideas from the classic gear. Use one at the studio, and the other on your home machine or laptop.Soundtoys PanMan is one of a kind. All Soundtoys 5 plug-ins come with two activations.

You won’t need to juggle multiple plug-in windows to adjust parameters, add new effects, or change their routing. The Effect Rack integrates all of the individual Soundtoys effects into a single plug-in, which improves workflow by displaying an entire custom effect processing chain at once. By mixing the output of the rack back into the input, you can build your own modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays and other unique ambience effects that would require complicated routing to accomplish in most DAWs. Then experiment with the powerful new global Recycle control. Fine tune the input and output levels, and use the global mix control to blend your effect in with the dry signal. Lock rhythmic effects to a single tempo, or let them run free. And when you’ve created the perfect combination of effects, the Rack’s global controls let you treat the whole rack as a single plug-in.
