Creating a panner

cnam's icon

Hello,

I was hoping to get some guidance in how to create a panner for a drum machine I've built.
The drum machine has 6 modules that can load 6 different drum samples. I would like to find a way to include a pan knob in each module.

Any guidance or suggested tutorials would be so helpful.

Thanks.

could you check if you have [m4l.pan1~]? That's a goodun'.

well the panner just goes after your monoOut, really. I'd use live.gain~ after the panners.

I don't think I did this correctly. Wetterberg, would you mind looking this over?
I appreciate your help!

So you hooked up the panner, but only hooked up the left output.

A panner has one input, two outputs. you used m4l.gain1~ instead of live.gain~, as I suggested.
