mcp_opendaw_create_pan_sweep
Create panning automation sweeps to move audio signals from left to right or vice versa over time, with customizable start/end positions, duration, and curve.
Instructions
Create a panning automation sweep — move signal from left to right (or vice versa) over time.
Classic stereo movement technique for intros, guitar solos, EDM builds, and section transitions. Creates panning automation events on the AU's panning parameter, sweeping from one position to another. Uses linear curve by default (panning is already psychoacoustic, exp not needed).
unit_index: AU index. start_beat: Start position in beats. duration_beats: Sweep length in beats (default 8 = 2 bars). start_pan: Starting pan position -1.0 (full left) to 1.0 (full right). Default -1. end_pan: Ending pan position -1.0 to 1.0. Default 1 (full sweep L→R). curve: "linear" (default — even stereo movement), "exp" (accelerating), "log" (decelerating). steps: Number of automation points (default 24 = smooth).
Returns events created, pan range, and preview.
Examples: create_pan_sweep(unit_index=0, duration_beats=16) → 16-beat full L→R pan sweep, linear create_pan_sweep(unit_index=2, start_pan=0.5, end_pan=-0.5, duration_beats=4) → Quick 4-beat R→L sweep from half-right to half-left
