Crossfader

Hi to everyone.

I have a question concerning the ReactÂ´s crossfader.
I usually have a different crossfader position for each layer, according to the desired mixing effect.
On React, I guess that first I must select a layer and then set the crossfader to the desired level. This is Ok, but...
LetÂ´s say that I have layer A set to 50%. Then I select layer B and set it to 80%. What happens when I get back to layer A? Will the crossfader automatically reset itself to 50% as set before to layer A?

thanks

Paulo

No.YouÂ´ll get a Parameter jump when moving the Fader, because the Fader is not motorized and sends asbolute and not incremental Data.
Its better to do those Parameter Changes by an incremantal Knob on the React. The Crossfader is more for fast Cuts. I usually use it only on Layer 3 for fast cut effects (its faster than working with the bypass function).

Thanks for your reply, Bandit.
Only now I realize that there are knobs for the alpha value for each layer. Exactly as It should be.

it also looks a lot more rock N roll then turning a knob
