Sound Particles has announced an update to its audio plugin which has become a favorite among mixers and music producers for its ability to generate beat-synced panning patterns without manual keyframing.
Beat Panner allows you to simply define the movement pattern you want on the sequencer, and the plugin makes your sound move in perfect sync with the beat of your track.
Version 1.1 adds the new Metadata Automation so that users can now copy the metadata generated by Beat Panner and paste it directly as automation onto Object Tracks, instantly replicating every beat-locked movement inside a full object-based environment — ready for further shaping, layering, and export to any supported immersive format.
Why It Matters:
- Sound Particles launches Beat Panner creative panning sequencerFaster object-based workflows — convert the rich movements of Beat Panner into objects, in a fast way.
- Full creative control retained — once pasted, the automation is fully editable inside Objects Tracks, so users can refine, blend, or layer it with other spatial elements.
- Bridges rhythm and space — connects Beat Panner’s rhythm-driven design with the precision and flexibility of object-based mixing, ideal for immersive music, cinema, and game audio.
- Zero cost to existing users — Beat Panner 1.1 is a free update for all current Beat Panner owners.
“This new feature can have a big impact on music object-based workflows. By copy/pasting automation, you can replicate the Beat Panner movements that you love into object tracks,” said Nuno Fonseca, founder / CEO of Sound Particles.
A free update for all existing users, new customers can purchase Beat Panner for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and AAX) for $199 USD at the Sound Particles store and from distributors such as Plugin Boutique, AudioDeluxe, and Best Service. It is also part of the full Panner Collection II for $229 USD.
