DX7II-style adavnced pan modes and pan envelopes

Open probonopd opened this issue 7 months ago • 11 comments

Currently MiniDexed can do simple (static) stereo panning for each voice. However, this is not sufficient to accurately reproduce DX7II performances.

The DX7II offers "Stereo pan with touch, LFO, key number or EG-control".

DX7II has pan modes and pan envelopes. DX7IIE.PDF Pages 36 and 37 See, you can write envelopes, how the voice moves between the outputs, or how the levels of the two voices can change with time. Also, you can assign this Pan controls to ModWheel, or to Aftertouch etc.

(Note to self, this is mostly relevant for live/solo situations. According to Espen Kraft, in mixes with mutiple synths, synths with panning effects "tend to muddy the mix". One may want to narrow the stereo field to "almost mono", then pan one left and one right according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=761DqeWR7U8 (toward the end))
