Description

CPfade is a constant power fader.

This will let you seamlessly crossfade between any two sources using one control, whether it be inside an effect rack or across multiple channels.

Linear crossfading causes the loudness to dip in the middle of the fade, "constant power" fading retains constant power and thus perceived loudness.

The A/B switch inverts the fader control.

For crossfades, add a CPfade set to A to one source and a CPfade set to B to the other. Map the fader dial of both instances to one control (physical knob or macro control) to begin crossfading.

To crossfade between more than two sources: add a CPfade instance for each fading movement that needs to happen. So if a sound should fade in and out, it needs two CPfade instances. For example, if there are three sounds 1 2 and 3, there will be one instance on sound 1 (set to fade out between 0 and 63), two instances on sound 2 (one set to fade in between 0 and 63, the other set to fade out between 64 and 127) and one instance on sound 3 (set to fade in between 64 and 127).
