Voltage Controlled Panner


This circuit is used to convert a mono audio signal into a stereo signal that can be panned between the left and right channel by a 0-10V control signal, it is intended for analog synthesizer systems. The circuit is mainly here for historical reasons, a higher quality panner may be built with the National Semiconductor LM13700 dual transconductance amplifier set up as a pair of voltage controlled amplifiers.

Description of the VCP

If you want to hear this circuit in action, it is used in the CD "Soundtrack for a Low-Budget Sci-Fi Movie" available on my Fractal Music page.
