i’ve combed the forum for this but just came across suggestions for plug-ins and automated patches such as spat~ which i’m not interested in using. In ways i’m a control freak, hence the appeal of Max…anyway, the closest thing i found to what i am looking for is a patch made by Eav 6 years ago, which utilizes an external that is no longer available
but i will post their patch here for a better example of what i’m attempting to do:

any help or pointing in a direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Example 24: Abstraction for constant-intensity stereo panning
Example 25: Abstraction for quad panning using x,y coordinates
Example 26: Quadraphonic panning with mouse control and Open GL visualization
Example 27: Quadraphonic panning based on radial angle
Example 28: Gain factors for quadraphonic panning based on radial angle
Example 29: Circular quadraphonic panning

Very well explained. Just one doubt: I couldn’t find the ampindB~ abstraction, could you please point it out to me? Merry Christmas everybody!

I’m attaching it here. (Oh, and it looks like the Cycling ’74 forum changes the filename, so you may need to rename it to ampindB~.)

i’m looking to create a random quad speaker pan, would like to do it gradually as well as rapidly, unfortunately when i put a drunk in the mix, things started getting screwy (isn’t that always the case?). Seriously, i get some type of clicking sound as the drunk dictactes direction. Any suggestions?

Would love to do circle pans, reverse circle, as well as pure random chaos.

My brain is fried right now and my gig is on monday.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for bearing with me! Your help is greatly appreciated! Who needs sleep when you can patch?

If you want circular positioning/motion it can be much more practical to work with polar coordinates instead of cartesian (XY). Have look at the [poltocar] object. With that it’s just a matter of driving your angle parameter (by [phasor] for example) and setting a distance from the center.

Total randomness seems easily achievable with a [random] for X and Y, perhaps driving [line]‘s if you want continuous motion instead of jumps.
