Re: [sc-users] newbie panner and sampler projects

Hi Ian,

Nice to see a familiar name join the list. I assume you're working with 
SC2.

What you're looking for is array of PanAz.ar, something like this:

myPanners = Array.fill(numChannels, {arg i; PanAz.ar(AudioIn.ar(i + 1), 
blah blah some controlling objects)});

I'm doing this away from SC so pardon if I'm messing up argument order 
or anything. AudioIn needs i +1 since the first input is 1, not 0 like 
in almost every other case (i.e. array indices, etc.). numChannels is 
just however many channels you have. If you wirte your code cleverly 
you can assign this to a variable and change it globally. :-)

Look at the documentation for PanAz and it'll let you know where to put 
everything. The pan position cycles over a range of 2 (so for 8 
channels you can use n * 2/8), so you can put any control signal you 
like there. For simple automation just try sawtooth oscillators at 
different frequencies on the order of 0.5 Hz or less. mul: -1 to go 
backwards.

Have fun,

S.
