I ran across this earlier when working on the 296 sound. Either there is something amiss with the crossfade prototype or I don't understand how it works. I attached a simple example where snd1 is zero and snd2 is 1. If the fade is 0 then the output is zero. If the fade is 1, the output is .7071 when I would expect it to be 1. Values in between are scaled between (meaning 0.5 is 0.3536. Based on the description of the prototype I don't think this is the proper behavior. I solved it in the 296 example but switching to the interpolate sound. IP: Logged | |

Hi Keph, For a linear combination, you picked the right solution: the Interpolate Sound. The Crossfade can do either a linear or a constant power crossfade and a constant power pan function which, in theory, should sound more even to the ear. In your example, you were using the linear Crossfade but it was complicated by the constant power pan function. So for mathematically interpolating between two inputs, you chose correctly; the Interpolate is the way to go. For panning and cross-fading that sounds smooth to your ear, the Crossfade is usually the better choice. [This message has been edited by SSC (edited 09 December 2010).] IP: Logged | |

Thank makes a lot of sense now that I think about it for audio signals. I think my confusion from the prototype description was this line: So I was thinking 0=Snd1, 1=Snd2 which isn't strictly true in this example. My error in reading corresponds as 'equals'. IP: Logged |
