About
PanShaper 4 takes stereo control to a new level. With a drawable panning LFO and envelope follower on every band, you can design evolving, fluid pan patterns and make precise stereo edits in seconds. Blend regular panning with psychoacoustic Haas panning and make your mixes fill the speakers like never before.
Running inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin, use PanShaper on its own or with other Shapers — they all work in exactly the same way, stacking up to create elaborate, multilayered effects that'll make your productions stand out.
PanShaper lets you blend standard left/right panning with psychoacoustic Haas panning. Create everything from classic autopanning and funky patterns to extreme pitchbending Doppler effects.
Our easiest ever waveform-editing tools make it simple to draw the exact movements you want to hear. Get any panning modulation you can imagine in just a few clicks.
