Stereo Mixer

Parameters

[Parameters not yet documented — likely declared in source outside register_animatable(). Add an override in _overrides/ if needed.]

Additional controls

Input Count — Number of mono input channels, 1–16. Each input is a mono ComplexBuffer that gets panned into the L/R output via its per-channel pan value. Resizing preserves per-channel state (gain, pan, mute, solo) for higher-numbered channels.

Master Gain (dB) — Final output gain applied to both L and R after summing, −60 to +12 dB. Sits at the end of the chain — use to set output level once everything’s balanced internally.

Channel Strips — Per-channel controls in the scrollable strip table:

  • M (mute) — hard mute.
  • S (solo) — soloing any channel mutes the rest; multi-solo is additive.
  • Gain slider — per-channel level in dB, −60 to +12.
  • Pan drag — per-channel position, −100 (hard left) to +100 (hard right). Equal-power panning (cosine/sine law) — channels stay constant-loudness as they sweep.

All inputs must share the same FFT settings; output is sized to the longest input.

About Stereo Mixer

Stereo Mixer turns N mono spectral inputs into a stereo (dual-port L/R) output with per-channel pan and gain — the natural choice when you’ve got several mono branches and want to position them in the stereo field at the summing stage. Equal-power panning (cosine/sine law) keeps perceived loudness flat as channels sweep across the field. The L/R outputs follow K2K’s dual-ComplexBuffer stereo convention (Port 0 = Left/Mono, Port 1 = Right) — feed both into anything that takes a stereo pair, or just take Port 0 if you collapsed everything to center. Compare with Mixer (mono sum, no pan) for purely additive stages, Spatial Mix (only 2 sources but adds a distance model with HF/width falloff), and Spatial Lab (single mono → stereo positioner with width and Doppler).
