Stereo Panning: iPolySix --> ??? --> Auria
I've totally fallen in love with the pitched toms you can do in iPolySix (okay, and every other synth with self-resonating filters), but I'd like to have the audio panned with, say, the low toms on the left and the high toms on the right. Doesn't look like P6 supports this sort of panning so I assume my best bet is routing through an AudioBus effect. I tried StereoDesigner and got... okayish results after twenty minutes of tweaking with the high/low pass filters but I'm not really satisfied with the results -- I can't get a lot of separation between the left and right channels.
Are there any other apps (or effects in Auria) that can do this sort of pitch-based panning? Ideally I'd like everything, say, C2 and below to be panned hard left, maybe C4 and above panned hard right with everything else panned proportionally in between.
Comments
You could audiocopy the whole song with all tracks muted except the low toms, then paste that into Auria. Repeat for a second track to get the high toms and then pan from there.
I think I just realized you're referring to sounds on the same drum track. In that case, I don't know how to separate them except to make sounds below C4 on one channel and the rest on another. Sorry, I dunt reed too gud.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the question because my answer seems too obvious - use the mixer in iPoly6 to pan the toms.
I think the mixer just puts everything in one section of the soundstage though?
I'm basically looking for what you'd get if you miked a piano on both ends. High notes go right, low notes go left (or vice versa).
I think I miiiiight be able to pull it off with some very precise high/lo-pass filtering and some math (it's what I was trying in StereoDesignerApp) but it'll take a while.
Hi @dumbledog, Stereo Designer dev here. Pitch based panning is beyond what Stereo Designer can do. I don't have iPolySix so I'm not sure what it's panning options are, but typically you would need to setup this kind of panning within the synthesizer/sampler itself, as @MrNezumi suggested. Otherwise, you can try using the hi/low pass filters to isolate the sounds as much as possible in Stereo Designer and pan them separately. Stereo Designer is powerful for manipulating stereo image but you probably won't be able to do the kind of surgical panning you seem to be looking for with any kind of effect.
If you need some further assistance I may be able to help out, drop me a line here.

I think I managed to pull it off with SunVox as an AB effect:
(Turn it up and obviously use headphones)
I have a lot of tweaking to do with the filter frequency and volume but it's basically what I want. It'd be nice if there was an effect out there where I could just say "C3 is center, spread it out over two octaves" and have it work everything out for me.
sample the sounds into an app that supports proper panning like dm1?
Yeah, think that's what I'm gonna have to do. Something like this would probably have to be triggered at the keyboard level anyway since the upper harmonics would end up on the high side anyway. Thanks.
If you want to have a single tom that can change pitch and pan across then you need to use a synth that allows you to use keyboard tracking to control panning. Nave can do this.
It sounds like the sort of think Audulus can do? Simple method - record into sequencer then record twice with different notes muted.
Wound up going the sample/Beatmaker route:
Does what I need; might tweak a bit more to make the panning more obvious because psychoacoustics is hard!
