tr.Distance: 2D Spatial Audio (Bitwig Device)

Use this Bitwig device to place your sounds in a simulated 2D spatial environment in front of the listener. It is loosely based on the popular ml.Distance MaxForLive plugin in Ableton (but made using stock Bitwig devices). By attenuating volume, spectral content, and stereo width, sounds placed in this space can appear to originate far away from the listener or right up close.

Additionally, this device allows for the user to easily insert their favorite reverb plugin to better simulate sounds in real spaces. Just swap out the stock reverb included in the FX Chain with yours and set its mix to 100% wet.

Click on the bottom-left square to expand the XY pad. The X-axis controls the stereo panning. The Y-axis controls distance away from the listener.

Requires the latest version of Bitwig Studio to use.
