Hi,
I'm looking to create a 3D panning module, but I want a nice gui representation of it.
I've already implemented a normal xy pad with a slider next to it to represent height, but I want a 3d box to represent the area and a moveable circle in the middle to represent the sounds location.
I have no idea if this is possible, but thought I'd put it out there!
Any help much appreciated!
Cheers

Do you mean kind of a "David Gibson's 'Art of Mixing'" -type thing?

Are you referencing the front cover of the book? If so, Kind of.
It's for a larger project, put I want a nice interface to be able to "place" a sound in an 3d environment.
The position of a moving "blob" within the 3d box will represent the sound and will generate coordinates so the ambience of that sound can change, depending on its position.
You would have to set up a reference point of the listener, perhaps in the middle of the area, or as another moveable "blob"
I may be asking too much from Synthmaker here, maybe an project for "puredata"

there is a xyz pad in the registered users area [old link]

I can't access the registered users forum as I'm only using the free version.

Well, out of curiousity / for fun / as an experiment / to test myself / and for why the heck not, I decided to try to make an XYZ pad (from scratch) "a la Gibson", and was pretty successful. (Although the slow graphics in SM gave a little to be desired.)
Gibson has had quite a few years to come out with this plug-in that he's SUPPOSEDLY working on, but there's no news about a release already (nor about one on the horizon) so far as I can find. However, there's a video on YouTube of some guy who made a version using MAX for Live, and making MY version in SM only took me a weekend... So I have to wonder if Gibson's even really trying. ...But the idea IS covered under patent laws, so I'm not quite sure if I should post my version. Yet, I see knobs and other GUI widgets ripped/duplicated from copyrighted sources all over the place here... so I'll leave it up to you guys and the mods. (And Gibson, if he does any web searches and stumbles across this.)
So, what do you all think? Yea or nay?
Preqwal - the XYZ grid and objects portions of this could easily be copied into another project for whatever manipulation of the coordinates you choose.
