Type

Midpoint

Brings the target source to unity gain before starting to attenuate the current source. The result is a summation of both sources with unity gain at the 50% position.

Constant Power

At the midpoint of the crossfade, the input sources are summed at a gain of –3dB each. This is referred to a constant power summation for uncorrelated sources.

Tip: This is the recommended setting.

Constant Voltage

At the midpoint of the crossfade, the input sources are summed at a gain of –6dB each. This is referred to as constant voltage summation. This works well for highly correlated inputs. For uncorrelated inputs, this setting will result in a 3dB dip in level at the 50% position.

Xfade to A

Fades to gain level on channel input A of the block.

Xfade to B

Fades to gain level on channel input B of the block.

Time

The time in seconds that it takes to move the current fade position from 0% to 100% or from 100% to 0%.

Note: The speed of the transition is only calculated from end to end.

If the crossfader is stopped in any position other than 0% or 100%, the crossfade time will be proportionately less than the current crossfade time. In this case, the device is just continuing the crossfade as if it were simply interrupted.

Gain A

The current gain level for channel input A.

Gain B

The current gain level for channel input B.

Position

The relative position of the crossfade transition between channel inputs A and B.
