Feature Request: Panned Voices.

[clort81]

I'd like to get individual voices panned slightly (not hard left/right) to resolve a bit better, audibly. e.g. 1: 25% left 2: 33% left 3: 25% right 4: 33% right.

Call it fake stereo, whatever.

Would sound better.

This is out of the scope of the project as we are emulating the inside working of the real chip. The voices are mixed when entering the analog stage inside the SID following a single channel path, trying to fake stereo would mess up the filter too.

As a workaround you might play a tune muting channels in turn and then mix the resulting files together. Using sox it would be possible to automate the task with a script. Not really handy and would break tunes using filter, ring-mod or hard sync but indeed produces good results with most of the tunes.

@clort81 i have messing up with this concept last 7 days, and, my working solution was: `#!/bin/bash

Establecer el nivel de verbosidad de sidplayfp

spfpverb=v2

spfpverb=q

spfpverb=v0

Establecer la pista a convertir (por si necesitas elegir alguna antes de convertir)

sidsubtrack=1

I hope this inspire you, obviously, i wrote and ran this script on Ubuntu 20.04, and needed to install sidplayfp, sox, lame, exiftool, id3v2 to get a nice tagged and good sounding output
