<br>
If so, can you use one circuit for the left and then derive the right from that?<br>

I've been simulating the THAT AN120, which is just a simple diode breakpoint generator. But the amplitudes never match up for the given circuit, with differences of 50% or greater depending on the setting and the left or right channel. In reality I think this circuit will need multiple trimmers to get everything right. Considering it is modifying CVs that go into an exponential control circuit, just small errors can be significant.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484021342000_3057" dir="ltr"><span><br

Yes, I
have looked at the Serge equal power panner, but I'd discarded it for the following reasons:<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />1) I don't understand it fully. The schematic is spread across three modules (CGS102A, CGS102B, CGS108) plus a mixer board to plug them all into, which makes it somewhat difficult to get a grip on. The CGS108 Serge Gain Cell is a proprietary design for which we aren't given a schematic. I don't want to tread on illustrious toes, so I'm not interested in trying to find a schematic if people don't wish me to know. The parts remind me of the discrete OTA Jürgen Haible designed for his discrete SSM2040 filter, which would make sense.<br clear="none" />2) All those parts! Isn't there a simpler way?! Ok, I accept that the image on Ken's site is a dual version, but nonetheless - it's not straightforward:<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /> <a shape="rect" href="http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/pic/photo_cgs101v10_upap.jpg"

It's a pity since I'd hoped for an analog solution to avoid the default "throw a micro at it" answer, but in this case, it really does seem like the sensible way. <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Thanks,<br clear="none" />Tom<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><div class="yqt2428526090" id="yqtfd13130"><br clear="none" />On 9 Jan 2017, at 22:13, Laurie <<a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:elby_designs@ozemail.com.au" href="mailto:elby_designs@ozemail.com.au">elby_designs@ozemail.com.au</a>> wrote:<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />>!
