Description

Smoothly crossfade between multiple chains in a rack or child tracks in a group.

Add this device to a Group Track or immediately after a rack device such as Audio Effect Rack or Instrument rack.

Chains or child tracks are shown as colored balls on the perimeter of a circle. You can control a virtual mic with the Direction control. The "pickup pattern" of the mic can be controlled with the Width and Curve controls.

This allows you to have multiple chains of parallel material, instruments, or effects and fade between them while time marches forward.

I created this plugin when I saw that the Abelton's Rack devices (Instrument Rack, Audio Effect Rack) Chain Selector parameter only controlled input rather than output. I was looking to have any number of sounds playing simultaneously, but be able to smoothly fade between them without disrupting time.
