Phase issues in non-binaural mode (not summing to mono cleanly)

[MOOGelPackung]

@swindail

Isn’t non-binaural just simple voice panning though? Like each of the 12 voices is just a mono source placed randomly in the stereo field, so in theory it should sum to mono perfectly, especially if we’re talking just one voice running one oscillator and nothing else.

Not really!
I described it there:

Control over voice pan spread amount

As an engineer … this thread made me curious, so i did some “research”… … and came to the following result: The output signal of the Super 6 seems to be in “non-binaural” mode not really underlay a simple left/right split/panning. It comes (alternating) left or right first and louder, but with something around 0,5ms delay and around 30% lower level on the other channel. If you record this (or listen to it) in stereo, even this sounds some kind of stereoscopic (0,5ms equals to 16cm free air de…
