The Metro-Modular - Dual Stereo Locator - Model 2102 also goes by the name of "Warriewood"
Warriewood is a suburb of Sydney Australia. It's postcode is 2102.
This Panner is our first entry in the "Postcode series": reissues and reimaginings of classic circuits, with an aim to make them more accessible.

This is inspired by a panner circuit from the late 1960s that is now extremely, extremely rare (as in less than ten originals known to exist!), but is in fact a simple circuit that is a fun DIY build.
It is an ingenious circuit that uses JFETs as VCAs, which is a circuit technique common in guitar pedals but pretty much unknown in the synth world, with the exception of the Gristleizer.
It does not give constant power panning, and it distorts when overloaded or near cutoff, but it is very musical. Because each channel is individually controllable, it has the bonus feature of working as voltage-controlled 2-input, 1 output mixer should that be desired
The mode switches allow you to tailor the response when a single function generator controls both CV inputs.
