stereo defaults = center; widen VOICE/RING/SEQ/SHIFT to place each part, ECHO/LOOP to open the tails. ring w + spin: the 8D swirl rotates across the field on its own. shift w full: up-sideband left, down-sideband right — the barberpole becomes a wide fan. loop w full: feedback swaps sides each pass — the spiral walks L↔R.
file: LOAD any audio — it rides in the imaginary axes, so SPIN swirls it, SHIFT shears it, ECHO/LOOP smear it; SPIN 0 = file dry through the effects.
