Peter 26Nov12: created this page as draft documentation for Adjustable Fade as preparation in case this new fade gets released in 2.0.3.
This enables you to control the shape of the fade (non-linear fading) to be applied by adjusting various parameters. It also allows for partial fades up or down (that is not from or to zero).

Fade Type

There are just two basic fade types available from this drop-down: Linear and S-Curve; both are selectable as a fade-up or fade-down (fade-in or fade-out). The two "types" have been carefully selected to provide the most useful fade types.

Peter 26Nov12: Further curve types may be added later - TBD.

Start/End as

This drop-down enables you to choose between percentage or dB as the units to be used in the Start and End parameter boxes below.


Start (or end)

Enables you to set the Start (or end) signal level. If you are using percentage units a start value of 0, the default, will give you the start of a fade-in (-96 if you are suing dB units)


End (or start)

Enables you to set the End (or start) signal level. If you are using percentage units a start value of 100, the default, will give you the start of a fade-out (0 if you are suing dB units)
