1. A system comprising:

  • a processor configured to receive a file including a first channel having a first set of control parameters to generate a first haptic effect and a second channel having a second set of control parameters to generate a second haptic effect, and configured to output a control signal that includes the first set of control parameters for the first haptic effect and the second set of control parameters for the second haptic effect, wherein the file is an audio file or a haptic file generated from the audio file and the audio file is generated via panning of a sound signal; and

    a haptic peripheral including a haptic output device, wherein the haptic output device is configured to receive the control signal from the processor and to output the first and second haptic effects to the haptic peripheral,wherein the haptic output device is coupled to a bi-directional trigger of the haptic peripheral and the first haptic effect moves the bi-directional trigger in a first direction and the second haptic effect moves the bi-directional trigger in a second direction opposing the first direction.
