Scratch Curve for audio crossfader

Post by sebastianmacchia » Tue Jul 14, 2009 5:49 pm

Hello, one question: is there any possibity to add a scratch curve for audio crossfader?? so we could use a slider like crossfader for scratching, for example i use a trigguer finguer slider like crossfader and i send all the maxipatch audio signals to ableton to do the scratch curve, but it would be simpler if i can do that with maxi directly
what do you think?

Hey Tostado,

It's a great idea. I was thinking of that before, actually. I think I can just add a simple "sharpness" control to the crossfader so that it will have different response curves, more like a scratch fader. For now I won't add such a control to the vertical volume faders for left and right decks.

Would that work?

There's a new build now of Maxi-Patch_AO/AV for OSX only that has an additional control in the audio crossfader section which adjusts the sharpness of the audio crossfader curve. Please download and try it out, and let me know if that works for you. Once it appears to be working well enough, I'll do the Windoze build.

hey, i was trying scratch and it works perfect for the left deck but doesn't work for the right one, when i have the crossfader on the left side and the max sharp i can hear the right deck.

I just checked and I don't see that problem. For me, when I have crossfader curve set to maximum sharp, I can move the crossfader all the way to the left and then I will hear only the left deck, nothing from the right deck.

I am using an X-Session Pro MIDI controller for the crossfader, and of course Maxi-Patch version 3.7.1 on OSX 10.5.7.

Maybe you didn't move the crossfader ALL the way left?
