Thx for the solutions guys, ReaSurround worked right out of the box and gives the most control over pan, but with more than 2 synths it can get confusing which input number belongs to which synth. I would probably prefer the JS:utility/Volume_pan after each synth, but can't get it to work as you prescribe Bradleyfilms, see if this is what u mean: The trouble is that the second JS pan mutes the second synth.. Oh, and for reference, all these fixes mentioned in this thread presupposes that the number of channels for the track is set in advance, click the track io button to set (4 in this example).
