Another option is… just lowering or increasing the volume of one channel over the other; this needs only some kind of attenuator; but still, separate L & R.
Both my patches for this challenge do some form of this “panning without panner; but with mixer”, so you might wanna look at either, or both.
@veryfungi That was a beautiful and super mellow patch, and I really appreciate the explanatory captions. Explaining how your patch works is an educational bonus for people, which is a key part of our mission here.
I chose SurgeXT as the plus one, as this collection gives you great sound and modulation sources as well as effects. But of course I couldn’t do without valley plateau as the end of chain reverb.
The main idea was to replace my usual chord sequencing with 2 SEQ-3s, summing their CV outputs into a polyphonic cable to provide the harmonies of this ambient piece. And then other voices pick up some of the chord notes to complement the pad. This patch also includes my fake ambient piano setup (SurgeXT Twist VCO into a roomy reverb). I am still surprised how convincing this sounds from time to time.
A tapestry woven from pads and sounds created with free VCV and NYSTHI modules, plus a compressor from Squinky Labs as the wildcard.
Lots of fairy dust to drift and soothe, with an occasional troll appearing.
Two additive synths (NYSTHI Phasor) provide a pad with spectra of left and right stereo channels morphing independently. NYSTHI Squonk as a pitch and parameter sequencer with self-randomization after the last step. Another flowing pad in the background. Noise swells with stereo echo.
Press the PUSH button in the upper right corner of the patch to start and stop audio.

Hi! another dreamy patch…inspired by Allen Strange Dream Machine patch and a recent video about that, using NYSTHI and VCV modules. Wise men dream at night. listen to SAM.
