Description
Alternative graphical interface for Robert Henke's ml.Distance but with a twist. Distance and panning values are interpolated, for avoiding clicks in the sound. The additional smooth parameter controls the interpolation time.
**update 1.2**
-GUI elements are not rendered blurry on non-retina screens
**update 1.1**
-Panning works also when distance=0

I spent too many times, automating the highshelf, the reverb and such. But the dampening, and the fact that there so many controls on one device, is really game changing! Props to you man!
It does work with Live 11. Having that said, the first time I opened it on Live 11 it was not working, but when I clicked the edit with Max button it started working fine. I think I had changed audio device output and/or sample rate after loading it, and that confused it somehow (?). But actually I'm not sure, because since then I have not been able to reproduce the bug :/
Just as a proposal, I think it could be also useful if there could be a saturation option that could be increasing for the forward movement of the sound.
I'm not sure if you're planning on working on this device any longer, but I think I have found a bug... I have made an effect rack that contains this plugin & two LFO's - one modulating the pan & one for the distance parameters. The LFOs have been unmapping themselves when I open project files sometimes. I have to delete the LFOs & then undo to get the mapping back. I contacted Ableton & they said the problem may stem from this plugin. Is there any chance of you looking into it? I would really love to be able to continue using this plugin if possible!
Thanks
Thanks for your time in advance!
