[sdiy] Panning with LM13700

[Tom Wiltshire]

That's a fairly involved circuit, but I don't think I've ever seen an analog panner with a switch to select different pan laws. Very impressive!

I'll have a look over it and see if I couldn't use the gist of it in a simpler way.

I was looking for something that does a smooth pan of a mono input. The -6dB pan sounds like it starts in your left ear, then shoots off somewhere in front of you, and then zooms back into your right ear. I find it quite distracting, and it seems to narrow the stereo field for me.
