Sound Particles Energy Panner 2 and Brightness Panner 2
New this week are two dynamic panning plugins that don’t rely on conventional drawn automation, instead generating musically intuitive movement from the innate qualities of your tracks. Both are able to manipulate sound in classic stereo and within immersive 3D spaces.

Brightness Panner 2 is controlled by brightness, detected pitch, or MIDI notes, letting your melody determine the instrument’s position within the spatial field. It can also respond to frequency content, allowing bright vocals or darker accompaniments to occupy and move through virtual spaces.
