The replaceable crossfader is used to fade between the signals that are (20)
assigned to its two sides A and B. You can assign the stereo channels and
sampler using the CF Assign push buttons (10) and (65).
The (21) CF ON push button activates the crossfader. When the push button is
not pressed, the signals of the individual channels are routed straight to the
Main outputs.
There are 3 Kill push buttons (22) (HIGH, MID and LOW) on each side of the
crossfader which let you mute the given frequency range. In Crossfader
Setup (see Chapter 3.4.2), it is possible to activate a special X-OVER mode
that enhances the crossfader’s functionality in combination with the
Kill push buttons. For more information, read Chapter 3.4.1.
Press the (23) FULL FREQ push button to remove any frequency cuts of
the KILL EQ (22).
The CURVE knob lets you seamlessly adjust the response of the crossfader.(24)
The REVERSE function allows you to reverse the conguration of the crossfader.
This way you can toggle between Channel A and B at the ick of a switch
REVERSE HOLD(25) activates a permanent Reverse function. The crossfader
fades between sides A and B in the reverse direction. This means that A
is now on the right and B on the left side.
REVERSE TAP activates a momentary Reverse function. This means that (26)
A and B are interchanged as long as the TAP push button is held down.
The BOUNCE TO MIDI CLOCK function provides an automatic, quick crossfading
synchronized to the rhythm of the music (“bouncing”). The bounce speed is
determined by the MIDI Clock.
Press the (27) BOUNCE TO MIDI CLK push button to activate the bouncing.
Once the push button is pressed, the signal repeatedly jumps from A to B
and back again corresponding to the interval pre-selected by using the
BEAT push buttons (28).
The (28) BEAT push buttons let you determine the Bounce rate, which can range
between one and 16 beats.
These LEDs indicate the number of beats you have chosen.(29)
