Foleys Finest Audio has released Animator, an immersive panner and modulator:
With Animator the position of your sound sources is used to modulate the effects in the built in effects chain, reaching from a delay to simulate a doppler effect to gain and filters, which allows to model a realistic sound with only one position parameter to control them all.
The user can change every aspect of the effects chain, the source parameter for the effect like distance, speed or just a separate axis of the coordinate system.
A clever preset system allows to step through existing effect chains without losing the settings of the geometry and vice versa.
Features
- Immersive Panner from Stereo up to 9.1.6.
- Modulated effects chain.
- Free mapping curves for the effects parameters.
- Trajectory path drawing in 3-D.
- LFO to move along the trajectory.
- Pan-Box, Scaling and Speed limit for smooth movement.
Effects
The following effects can be combined in arbitrary order and modulated:
- Delay / Speed-up/-down.
- Gain.
- High Shelf / Low Shelf.
- High Pass / Low Pass / Band Pass.
- LFE Level.
Effect parameters can be controlled by:
- Distance from center.

The mapping from position to effect parameter can be freely mapped with a multi segment graph.
