PanShaper 4: Multiband Stereo Autopanner by Cableguys Free Download

PanShaper 4 offers two panning approaches that you can combine. Standard panning uses balance modes at 0, 3, 4.5 and 6 dB, plus a Stereo Combined mode. The Haas range is adjustable from 0 to 40 ms, so the effect can be subtle or extreme.

The developer describes the Haas option as psychoacoustic, and it is the main tool for stereo widening without changing the level balance between the speakers. Each band has its own dry/wet mix, so you can keep the bass centered and solid while moving the highs.

Audio-rate modulation runs up to 5.24 kHz, which opens the door to sound design beyond ordinary autopanning.

The LFO can be expanded for detailed editing and drawn freely. A draggable Pan parameter shifts the whole wave up or down. Loop length can be set in beats and bars, or in Hertz and milliseconds, from 1/128 to 32 bars.

Wave tools include flip, resize, move and randomize for a wave or selection, a 2x/3x button to double or triple a pattern, and selection skewing to raise intensity over time. You can copy and paste waves between any Shapers and undo or redo LFO edits without limit. Nine slots store custom waves with the patch, and user waves can be switched via MIDI.

The interface can be resized from 75% to 200% and supports Retina/HiDPI displays. A built-in help feature shows a description when you hover over any control. Trigger Smoothing and Smoothed Bypass reduce clicks when switching waves or going to the dry signal.
