X-Pan, Pams, and clipping question

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey all, I've got a kind of boring bass line going and figured it would be cool to play with the panning on it. I sent a sine wave from Pam's into X-Pan's pan input and got a standard sweep between channels. My next thought was to increase the speed of the sine wave for each hit a la typical dubstep ramping lfo. I made a ramp in Pams, sent it to CV 1, and set the panning sine's speed to CV1. Now it's clipping pretty hard unless I attenuate CV1 to the point of not being noticable. </p> <p>If I set my panning Sine to 1x up to 3x it pans fine, as I get past that it starts to sound noisey but that's more audio rate of the panning rather than the hard clipping I was getting when using a ramp to set the speed. If I Offset CV1 pretty high and Attenuate it low it seems to do what I want much cleaner but I'm not sure why?</p> <p>For what it's worth, <a href="https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1159649">this</a> is my rack.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/plytheman"> /u/plytheman </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/ilafbc/xpan_pams_and_clipping_question/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/ilafbc/xpan_pams_and_clipping_question/">[comments]</a></span>
