 in my experience values between 5000 and 8000 tend to work well, but you might want to experiment a bit to see what works for you
 
+### panera
+
+ever wanted to have each pluck of the guitar have a different pan? do i have something for you then! 
+
+params:
+- `gain`: pregain added to the detector. doesn't affect output sound
+- `attack`: attack of the envelope follower
+- `release`: release of the envelope follower
+- `gate`: gate level at which a peak is detected
+
+- `panning mode`: one of {alternating [0, 0.33), sine [0.33, 0.66), random [0.66, 1]}
+- `lfo freq`: frequency for the sine lfo
+
+panera consists of a peak detector with a sample and hold lfo tied to the pan. this lfo is sampled each time a new peak comes in, and it's value will be held until the next peak
+
+there's three panning modes: 
+- alternating: each peak will be hard panned to a different side, alternating between left and right
+- sine: samples a sine lfo, and uses that as the pan for the rest of the note
+- random: each note will have a random pan
+
+the peak detector is still a bit fiddly, so you'll have to tweak the params a bit until it works for the kind of sound you're giving it. the defaults have worked great for me, so i recommend you start from there and change as you see fit

 issues and prs are welcome, but please open an issue before making any big pr, i don't wanna have to reject a pr where you have put a lot of effort on. if you are fine with that, ig go ahead i'm not your mum
