Features

ST1 offers following features:

  • Phase meter
  • Correlation meter
  • Adjustable mono to stereo converter
  • Variable stereo width
  • Automatable pan knob with variable pan law and many comfort functions
  • Spectral panning
  • Bass focus
  • Preset management
  • Many useful presets
  • Large and easy to use GUI
  • 64-bit internal processing
  • Very low CPU usage
  • GUI scale

Overview

TBProAudio ST1 V2 Stereo Imaging Control Tool -
Overviewwww.tb-software.com

Preset Menu:
This control manages presets of ST1.
Phase and Correlation Meter:
This view shows the phase distribution and stereo signal correlation of the output signal.
Clicking and up/down dragging with the left mouse button zooms the display.
Clicking and left/right dragging with the left mouse button adjusts glow timing.
Mono to Stereo:
This processor spreads the signal width by delaying the left channel by a maximum of 2 milliseconds from the right channel.
Stereo Width:
This processor enhances the stereo width by manipulating the mid/side signal (M/S). Strength below 100% reduces stereo width, above 100% increases stereo width.
Bass Focus: This processor handles the side signal with a high pass filter (filter frequency is defined by Over parameter) and improves the center position of the lower frequencies.
Pan Knob:
This processor positions the signal in the stereo field. It offers automatability and most suitable pan laws.TBProAudio ST1 V2 Stereo Imaging
Control Tool - Pan Knob

Pan Knob:
Pan the signal from left (-100%) to right (+100%). Even “over pan” is possible (-/+120%).
Pan Law:
Linear/0.0/-2.5/-3.0/-4.5/-6.0db.
Speed:
Defines panning speed, which is relevant for panning automation.
Swap Pan Position:
Changes pan position from e.g. -50% to +50%
Fixed Pan Position:
Click on one of the several predefined pan positions.
Spectral Pan:
This processor divides the spectrum in two bands (split frequency is defined by XOver parameter) and restricts the panning to the upper frequency band. This avoids wasting energy in the low band of the side channel and improves stereo perception under headphones.
