The Rhodes v pan Black Friday deal brings the V-Pan stereo panning plugin to $14.95, 61% off, until Nov 30, 2026.
V-Pan is an auto-panner built from the Vari-Pan circuit in the Rhodes MK8 piano. It moves a signal between the left and right channels with a waveform you shape yourself.
The maker says it suits keys, synths, guitars, vocals and FX sounds, and it works inside your DAW as a plugin.
Rhodes put a vibrato-style stereo panning effect on the suitcase piano in the 1970s. The Vari-Pan circuit in the MK8 carried that idea forward, rooted in the panning circuits heard on a lot of hit records.
The V-Pan plugin is modelled directly from that MK8 hardware circuit, according to the maker.
Rate runs from very slow sweeps up into audio rates. At the fast end the maker says you get synth-like and ring mod-like effects, so it is not only a gentle left/right drift.
Depth is described as deep, so the movement can be subtle or wide. Wear headphones, since the maker notes that is how you hear the full panning effect.
The feature list:
BPM sync locks the panning to your project tempo, so the movement stays in time as you bounce or automate.
On Mac, V-Pan supports macOS Big Sur (11) through Sonoma (14), on Intel and Apple Silicon, with Rosetta and native support. Formats are VST2, VST3, AU and AAX.
On Windows, it runs on Windows 10 and 11 in VST2, VST3 and AAX.
You need 8GB of RAM at minimum and 1.2GB of disk space. The display minimum is 1280 x 960, and the UI is resizable. An internet connection is required.
Rhodes notes an issue with its third-party copy protection provider that currently stops its software working with GarageBand on Macs with Intel processors.
