Hi people

I'm looking for a VST/DirectX plug-in that automatically does stereo panning
on a track depending on the pitch, so for example low notes would be panned
towards the left and high notes towards the right. I've tried Googling for
'autopan pitch' but haven't come up with anything. Surely something like
this exists; but what's it actually called?


Not likely. Remember that any pitched instrument contains
much more than the fundamental note or chord it is playing.
It has harmonic content at many times each fundamental
pitch. In a mixed instrument source, you cannot separate
those harmonics from the fundamentals and harmonics of the
other intsruments.

If you do it strictly on a frequency basis, you could get an
interesting effect but any given instument's chord
components and their harmonics would have a left to right
spatial spread.
