WIDTH

Stereo width, in mid/side. width 0 collapses the image to the centre, 1 leaves it alone, 2 pushes the sides apart. mono keeps everything below it CENTRED — a wide bass is the one stereo move that falls apart the moment anything sums the mix, and this is the fix. balance leans the whole image without being a pan. Put it after the mixer, before the OUT.

The WIDTH card as vimsynth draws it: its title bar, 3 knobs, 3 inputs down the left edge and 2 outputs down the right
WIDTH on an empty rack — 32×13 cells, knobs at their defaults. Press a in the app and pick WIDTH to get this card.

inputs

Down the left edge of the card, top to bottom.

laudio
Left in.
raudio
Right in. Normals from l — though a mono signal has no width to work on until something makes the two sides differ.
width cvcv
Added to the width knob. An envelope here opens the image on the drop; a slow LFO breathes it.

outputs

Down the right edge, in the same order.

laudio
Left.
raudio
Right.

knobs

Left to right across the face — the dials in the picture.

width0 … 2= 1
The stereo image. 0 is mono, 1 leaves it alone, 2 pushes the sides apart. Past about 1.5 it starts to sound hollow in the middle, which is the sound of the sides eating the centre.
mono20 … 500 hz= 20 hz
Below this, the image is CENTRED. 20 Hz is off. A wide bass is the one stereo move that falls apart the moment anything sums your mix — set this to 100–150 Hz and the low end stays solid wherever it is played.
balance-1 … 1= 0
Leans the whole image left or right. Not a pan: a pan places a mono sound, this tilts a stereo one that already has two sides.
