QPAN -- 4-channel panning of input signal
in RTcmix/insts/jg

quick syntax:
QPAN(outsk, insk, dur, AMP, XLOC, YLOC[, inputchan]) 

   p0 = output start time (seconds)
   p1 = input start time (seconds)
   p2 = duration (seconds)
   p3 = amplitude multiplier (relative multiplier of input signal)
   p4 = X coordinate of virtual source (-1.0 - 1.0) [-1: left, 1: right, 0.5: center]
   p5 = Y coordinate of virtual source (-1.0 - 1.0) [-1: back, 1: front, 0.5: center]
   p6 = input channel [optional, default is 0]

   p3 (amplitude), p4 (xloc) and p5 (yloc) can receive dynamic
   updates from a table or real-time control source.

QPAN is a simple instrument to do quadraphonic panning.



Usage Notes

The listener is in the center of the coordinate space, at [0,0]. Left-to-right panning (p4, "XLOC") is from -1.0 to 1.0; back-to-front panning (p5 "YLOC") is from -1.0 to 1.0.

The rtsetparams scorefile command should be set for 4 channels, and a sound card capable of sending out 4 independent audio streams is obviously required.



Sample Scores

very basic: 

   rtsetparams(44100, 4)
   load("WAVETABLE")
   load("QPAN")

   bus_config("WAVETABLE", "aux 0 out")
   bus_config("QPAN", "aux 0 in", "out 0-3")

   dur = 60
   amp = 10000
   freq = 440

   wave = maketable("wave", 2000, 1)
   line = maketable("line", 1000, 0,0, 1,1, 19,1, 20,0)

   WAVETABLE(0, dur, amp * line, freq, 0, wave)

   lag = 70
   srcX = makeconnection("mouse", "X", -1, 1, 0, lag, "X")
   srcY = makeconnection("mouse", "Y", -1, 1, 1, lag, "Y")

   QPAN(0, 0, dur, 1, srcX, srcY)
