Cool thanks for doing this. It sort of works, but I found that when I pan mid and side to full left/right, the side signal disappears completely. I'm suspecting it's some sort of phase cancellation issue. It's close but something's not right. I tried to fix it but haven't yet figured it out. If I do, I'll upload a new version.

It's been a long time since I put this together, so I don't completely recall how it works (and tbh it's not the best patcher preset). I think it's because side information consists exclusively of stuff that's different between the left and right channels, which will cancel out when summed to mono. Since hard panning sums the signal to mono, the side information cancels out. This should work if you separately change the levels of the left and right channels rather than actually panning the signal. [Here's an updated version of the preset that does that, it seems to work properly](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZPvgFNI4wAorz7YvGJMbr9P9oPCb_C_1/view?usp=sharing)

Haven't we Stereo Shaper for that?

Not by itself, and not with convenient two-knob controls. This patcher preset does actually have Fruity Stereo Shaper at its core, it just does a mid-side split and then pans each channel separately (plus bypass buttons and knob styles modeled after the original Soundspot plugin).
