Tête + Tetrapad Manual
Selecting a Crossfader Type
In general, a crossfader sends a pair of related voltages to the pad’s two associated outputs, with the
voltages changing proportionally to your finger’s vertical position. The exact relationship between
these two voltages is determined by the selected crossfader type.
You can select one of four crossfader types by pressing Tetrapad’s red SHIFT button (making the
LED glow red), then pressing the pad’s encoder to step through the available shapes. The crossfader
icon on Tête changes to illustrate which type of crossfader you select. Specifically:
Constant Voltage (Linear):
Putting your finger on the bottom of a pad sends 0V to
the pad’s right jack and 100% of the maximum voltage to
the left jack. As you drag your finger up the pad, more
voltage is sent to the right jack and less to the left until,
at the midpoint, 50% of the maximum voltage is sent out
each jack. Sliding your finger further up the pad
continues to increase the right jack voltage and decrease
the left until, at the very top, 100% of the maximum
voltage is being sent to the right jack and 0V to the left.
NOTE: In Shift view, you can turn an encoder to set a
crossfader’s maximum voltage to either 1V, 2V, 3V, 4V
or 5V, with 5V being the default value (as discussed in
Using Crossfaders ​ , below).
Constant Power:
Constant power is similar to linear mode, except the
crossfade shape is curved, rather than linear. Constant
Power is particularly useful when used to control audio,
since the curved response creates a perception of
constant loudness across the entire fade length. For this
reason, at the midpoint of the pad, 70.7% of the
maximum voltage is sent to each output, rather than
50%.
NOTE: In Shift view, you can turn an encoder to set a
crossfader’s maximum voltage to either 1V, 2V, 3V, 4V
or 5V, with 5V being the default value (as discussed in
Using Crossfaders ​ , below).
