# Spatial Panning Plug-Ins The Goodhertz Panpot Plug-In is an Inventive Panning Tool for Audio By Anton Schefter | Published 2020-11-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodhertz-panpot References: [goodhertz.co](https://goodhertz.co/panpot/?mode=dark) The Panpot, standing for "Panoramic Potentiometer," is a virtual panning tool created by Goodhertz Inc., which transcends other stereo manipulation plug-ins by combining four different panning modes all within one newly fashioned interface. While a traditional panning utility device only controls level differences, Panpot controls the time differences, spectral cues, and distance effects to provide an extensive two-dimensional approach to adjust the stereo image of audio. Built into a simple user interface, the controls are distinctly positioned over top of a background, which can be toggled between light and dark modes. The four types of panning modes that can be manipulated using Panpot include: Level Panning, Delay Panning, Spectral Panning, and Phase Panning. Spanning from the left, each of the four panning modes can be adjusted using level sliders, along with corresponding on/off, mode, flip, and multiplier controls. On the right side of the plug-in, more controls are available to adjust the pre-panning and general pan options. Panpot is available as a digital download through the Goodhertz company website.
