[sdiy] Panning with LM13700

[Richie Burnett]

You could always generate the two VCA control signals with the appropriate pan law using a micro... Low cost pic with dual output PWM perhaps? Pre-calculated values in lookup table on a low end micro, or use  quadratic fit approximation if you're already using a dspic.

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.
