the pan position. Channels are evenly spaced over a
cyclic period of 2.0. the output channel position is
pos / 2 * numChannels + orient. Thus, assuming an
orient of 0.0, and numChannels being for example
3, a pos of 0*2.0/3 == 0.0 corresponds to the
first output channel, a pos of 1*2.0/3 corresponds
to the second output channel, a pos of 2*2.0/3=4.0/3
corresponds to the third and last output channel, and a
pos of 3*2.0/3=2.0 completes the circle and wraps
again to the first channel. Using a bipolar pan

all channels will be cyclically panned through.

the width of the panning envelope. The default of 2.0 pans between pairs of adjacent speakers. Width values greater than two will spread the pan over greater numbers of speakers. Width values less than one will leave silent gaps between speakers.
the offset in the output channels regarding a pan
position of zero. Note that ScalaCollider uses a default
of zero which means that a pan pos of zero outputs the
signal exactly on the first output channel. This is
different in sclang where the default is 0.5 which means
that a pan position of zero will output the signal
inbetween the first and second speaker. Accordingly, an
orient of 1.0 would result in a channel offset of
one, where a pan position of zero would output the
signal exactly on the second output channel, and so
forth.
