Really wish we had Pan control for each OSC (in both Massive synths!)

    Subject line says it all.
    Why is our only pan control the one with the amp, after all the sound design has already been done?
    I'd like more control than this.
    See, for example, Serum: each Oscillator has a Pan knob.

    cheers,

    Because the synthesis engine is not stereo (that would increase CPU usage handsomely).

    So how does Serum manage to pull it off, then?

    Well its synth engine is processing in stereo. So for every voice you play, it's actually calculating two voices. Among other things also explains the higher CPU usage it has. :)


    Not all synths need to be the same and have the same features. :)

    Really will be a nice feature a panpot on each oscillator, but Massive X are Stereo, Unison mode can spread to full stereo signal...
