I'm trying to modify the four channel panning "pan4S.maxhelp" to achieve an eight channel panner.

So far I've managed to get eight individual outs however, when I pan in a circular motion all of the

faders show signal levels until it arrives exactly at the number that represents a particular channel.

I've used the square root panner from the original help patch and its been through trial and error that

I've managed this much having not really an understanding of the math behind the pan curve.

I'd really like to be able to make this function like the 4 channel version in that when panning occurs it is

between two channels at a time as it goes around the circle.

I have lots of third party patches that use vbap and ambisonics etc. But I'm just interested in

knowing if its possible within the confines of this patch with correct alterations to achieve a

panner that will allow correct rotation of signal.

Below is the 'compressed format' of the patch and the pan8S subpatch

Hello I m not sure but I think that you try to port oldie abstraction from Spat 3 to adapt to Spat 4.

I have 3, 6, and 8 channel versions of the pan4s abstractions here:

Will soon have a variable channel amplitude panner that combines all of these, but not ready to post it just yet. You might also check out cosm, vbap, etc.

I did manage to get it to work in the end but I'm very appreciative of the advice and links!! (Zachery)

Care to post & share your working solution? :)

Dis you try to convert some abstractions from Spat 3 to Spat 4 for Max 5 ?

@Zachary thanks for the patcher! did you ever get to releasing the variable channel amplitude panner? would be v helpful! thanks!
