ChannelPan channel_handle, pan#

Parameters

channel_handle = variable assigned to the channel when played
pan# = panning floating value to denote channel playback

Description

When you want to do real sound panning effects, this is the command you'll use. This will allow you to pan the sound channels on a 'per channel' basis between the left and right speakers. This command makes it very easy to produce some really killer stereophonic effects!

The pan value is between -1 and 1 with 0 being perfect center. -1 is full left, and 1 is full right. To make it somewhere in between, try -.5 for 50% left or .75 for 75% right.
