True Pan - binaural panning example: modes 1 and 2

A quick comparison between the two modes supported by True Pan.

In mode 1, the DIRECTION dial maps directly onto a vectorscope / goniometer / phase scope representation of the incoming audio. This allows for a fully lossless rotation with zero latency, zero phase delay and a flat frequency response.

However, just like the vectorscope's layout, the 360-degree field is made up by 4 quadrants in a diagonally symmetric setup (creating an alternating sequence of L-R-L-R).

Mode 2 aims to remap the DIRECTION control's angles to eliminate the alternating quadrant structure and provide a two-hemisphere L/R control scheme - while using the same lean algorithm that powers mode 1.
Mode 2's effects can be more transforming and its performance has a higher dependence on the quality and spatial content of the input signal.
