Took me a while of staring at the 'Panning' picture on Ardour's features
page. There's the missing link - the relative gain you mentioned - which
is the slider between the L and R icons.
If I may refer to that little slider as 'balance'...

I can see how the new panner would work for one channel strips too.

nope.

panners in A3 are modular, and loaded at runtime. a 1in/2out track or bus uses a different panner than a 2in/2out bus.

all panners in A3 have access to 5 parameters, nominally titled: azimuth, width, elevation, frontback, lfe. they can use as few or as many as they want, and can interpret them as they choose.

Very nice stuff, love the new usage of colours, shading and gradients.

thanks, I wish I did :)
