Introduction
ST1 is a simple tool that lets you control the width and the panorama of a
stereo audio signal.
It includes a mono-to-stereo function, a stereo field enhancer, a rich panning
knob that includes spectral panning, and a bass-focus feature. The phase and
correlation meter visually monitors the panning position and stereo width.
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
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.
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.
