Description

There are various versions of this panner plugin and this is the most "raw" version. Only the "classic" azimuth/elevation controls are provided, largely to save screen real estate. These are great if you are used to them; if you are not, you might want to try the standard version.

The plugin is available in the O3A Core plugin library.

View Support

When used with O3A View Sync from the O3A View library, this plugin can be connected to the separate View or ViewVR applications.

When this option is available, a 'View' button appears at the top right of the plugin's user interface.

Controls: Azimuth and Elevation

Azimuth and Elevation control the direction in which the input is placed in the 3D audio scene.

Azimuth is the horizontal angle, between -180 to +180 degrees, measured anticlockwise (left) from the front. Elevation is a vertical angle between -90 and +90 degrees, measured with positive upwards and 0 on the horizontal.

For instance, the direction for azimuth +90 and elevation +45 can be found by turning 90 degrees to the left and then looking up by 45 degrees.

It may help to experiment with the standard version to get used to this way of doing things.
