Crossfader
- Sets
the relative balance
between the signal
appearing at the
“A” side
L/R
[A/B]
inputs and the signal
appearing at the
“B” side
L/R
[C/D]
inputs, sending the blended signals to the
MIX L
[E]
and
MIX R
[F]
outputs.
Additionally, the crossfader determines control voltage levels sent out the
CV A
[G]
and
CV B
[H]
jacks. The closer the fader is to the “A” side, the greater the absolute voltage sent out
CV A and the less sent out CV B. Similarly, the closer the fader is to the “B” side, the greater
the absolute voltage sent out CV B, and the less sent out CV A. The way in which one voltage
crossfades into the other is set by the
XFADE Shape
[2]
switch. The
Polarity Switch
[3]
sets
whether the voltages crossfade between 0V and 5V (“UNI” position) or between -5V and +5V
(“-/+” position).

XFADE Shape Switch
- Sets the XFADE shape, which determines exactly how the “A” side
crossfades into the “B” side as you move the crossfader. There are three positions:
●
DJ CUT
(left position): This shape is
used to instantly cut (or add) a signal
to the mix. As the crossfader moves
left-to-right, the level present from the
“A” side stays at max, until it’s about
95% to the right, at which point it
quickly decreases. Meanwhile, the “B”
side level quickly increases to its
maximum about 5% into the
crossfade; where it stays for the
remainder of the fade. Throughout
most of the middle range, both the “A”
side and “B” side levels are at their
maximum.
