## pan2

pan2 — Distribute an audio signal across two channels.

## Description

Distribute an audio signal across two channels with a choice of methods.

## Syntax

    a1, a2 pan2 asig, xp [, imode]

## Initialization

imode (optional) -- mode of the stereo positioning algorithm. 0 signifies equal power (harmonic) panning, 1 means the square root method, 2 means simple linear and 3 means an alternative equal-power pan (based on an UDO). The default value is 0.

## Performance

pan2 takes an input signal asig and distributes it across two outputs (essentially stereo speakers) according to the control xp which can be k- or a-rate. A zero value for xp indicates hard left, and a 1 is hard right.

## Example

Here is an example of the pan2 opcodes. It uses the file pan2.csd.

Example 563. Example of the pan2 opcodes.
