“PanShaper has become my favorite plugin of all time!
Jake Morelli, producer/guitarist for Ed Sheeran, Queen Latifah, Bruno Mars & more.
"
“We use PanShaper a lot with some rhythm parts like hi-hats when we want to open the stereo image of the track, leaving space for other elements in the centre of the mix.
"
“I often use PanShaper to create rhythmic panning on tracks, it’s awesome!
John Nathaniel, Producer/Mixer/Songwriter (OneRepublic, Switchfoot, Kygo)
"
“We love the ShaperBox and use it quite often to get weird effects for our sounds and sidechaining / autopanning.

Videos show Panshaper 2 – all techniques work in Panshaper 3
Stereoise mono drums
Got a beat that's strictly mono? Bring stereo groove to just the top-end elements like hi-hats
Bring basslines to life
Keep those all-important low frequencies centred and solid while you pan the mids and tops
Fill the speakers
Go beyond regular panning with psychoacoustic Haas placement – the pros' secret stereo weapon
Surgically pan sounds
Want to pan just that one shaker hit in a loop? With drawable LFOs and multiband control, it's possible
Make percussion dance
Do the conga – bring the party to your tops! You simply have to try PanShaper on percs
Animate electric pianos
Easily create classic tremolo-style warbling pan effects – perfect for tines, vibes, and organs
Make synths groove
Add stunning left-to-right motion to melodies, pads and arps – and free up the centre of your stereo field
Cableguys quality
Like all Cableguys plugins, PanShaper 3 uses top-quality DSP, for seriously good sound that professionals rely on. Sample-accurate LFOs with high-res curve interpolation shape audio with ultimate precision. Multiband crossovers with Linkwitz-Riley filters give a flat frequency response at zero latency. Adjustable pan law lets you control stereo emphasis.
LFOs that you design
From classic autopanning to complex stereo rhythms, any panning motion you can imagine is only clicks away. Simply draw the exact LFO shape you need with Cableguys' easy editing tools. Lock LFOs to tempo with sample accuracy, or trigger any rhythm with MIDI notes.
Introducing Pens
New! Designing your dream panning LFO just got even easier with three powerful, easy-to-grasp Pens. Draw crisp lines, smooth arcs and flowing S-curves. Create gentle back-and-forth movement or wild rhythmic patterns. Switch back to classic single-node editing anytime.
The Haas effect
New! Using ultra-short delays, Haas panning creates a rich illusion of stereo placement while maintaining a full sound in both speakers. Blend it with regular panning for the perfect stereo balance. Or go extreme for pitchbending Doppler effects.
Flexible envelope followers
New! Create panning effects that react to the dynamics of your beats, loops, melodies – anything. Make percussion jump across the stereo field in sync with the loudest hits. Increase Haas separation as sounds grow louder. Trigger from other tracks in your project using sidechain routing.
Multiband panning
PanShaper 3 gives you a separate panning LFO and envelope follower for the lows, mids and highs. Keep the bass centred while the mids and highs dance across the stereo field. Pan specific frequency ranges with pinpoint accuracy. New! Steep 24dB crossovers join the classic 6 and 12dB models, for even greater precision.
Runs in ShaperBox 2
PanShaper 3 runs in Cableguys' ShaperBox 2 effects plugin. Use it on its own, or combine it with Time, Filter, Volume and Width Shapers for elaborate, multilayered effects that'll make your productions stand out. Buy Shapers individually — or save 69% and get all 8 Shapers with the ShaperBox 2 Bundle.

“PanShaper is great for adding stereo interest to fully mixed or single elements in a mix, and the editing tools are incredibly easy to learn and use.
Ask.Audio, March 2016
"
“Whether for subtle movement in the stereo field, flowing or rhythmic patterns, or precisely setting the panoramic position of individual beats in a loop, PanShaper inspires as a flexible precision tool for creative stereo modulations. Drawing and editing waveforms is extremely intuitive. In addition to the excellent audio quality and the high level of user convenience, the price is also extremely favorable. Class!
