Step-Based Panning Patterns and Movement Control

The core of the plugin is a step sequencer with up to 32 steps per channel. Each step sets a position in the field, so you can turn a simple sound into a rhythmic element that moves across the mix.

Four independent sequence patterns sit inside a single instance. You can switch between them to give a section, such as a chorus, a different movement character from the verse.

Transitions can be smooth or sharp and rhythmic. Float, divergence and subtle movement tools add variation so repeated patterns do not sound static.

Spatial Mixing, Views and Multichannel Support

A built-in mixer provides virtual center control, along with several stereo and 3D views that show where each sound sits in space.

The plugin supports mono, stereo and more than 30 multichannel formats, including 5.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.4, 9.1.6, IMAX 12.0, NHK 22.2 and 360 RA. This covers both music mixing and surround work in post-production.

Presets and a Random Dice tool provide starting points and can generate unexpected combinations of movement.
