Filter fade FX? which addon is that?

If you look at the functions on you tube the controller has a filter fade effect when you are cross fading this can be done on dj because uses filter effect but i dont know the mapping transcript

Oh yeah I remember that, try this on the crossfader mapping

crossfader & param_bigger 50% ? deck 1 filter : param_invert & deck 2 filter

Yes that works - but I personally think it would be more effective if the filter kicked in way earlier. Maybe 10-20%?

As it is, the effect of the filter kinda gets lost under the audio from the other track coming in.

10/20% that's tricky I'll have to think about that
This one is from 0%
crossfader & param_invert & param_multiply 50% & param_invert & deck 1 filter & param_invert & param_add 50% & deck 2 filter

That one's better but it activates the filter on both sides, so the crossfade sounds really thin because there's no bass on either track.

Hmm... there is the stupidly long way - quizzing every % of the crossfader between 20% & 80%
pondering....

Don't concern yourself on my account. It's not something I'd use. If OP is happy then all is well.

You know I'm not that kind of dog :-)

There's this one that kicks in across the middle 2/4's
crossfader & param_bigger 25% ? param_smaller 75% ? param_invert & param_add -25% & param_invert & deck 1 filter & param_invert & param_add 50% & deck 2 filter : deck 2 filter 50% & deck 1 filter 100% : deck 1 filter 50% & deck 2 filter 100%

This one kicks in in the end 1/4's I think this is the most likely
crossfader & param_smaller 25% ? param_multiply 200% & deck 2 filter : param_bigger 75% ? param_add -50% & param_multiply 200% & deck 1 filter : nothing

If your Controller has a Shift button, chances are good, that there is already a $shift variable.

So just test this:

$shift ? crossfader & param_smaller 25% ? param_multiply 200% & deck 2 filter : param_bigger 75% ? param_add -50% & param_multiply 200% & deck 1 filter : nothing : crossfader

Ooops a small mistake on my part

var '$Shift' ? crossfader & param_smaller 25% ? param_multiply 200% & param_invert & deck 2 filter : param_bigger 75% ? param_add -50% & param_multiply 200% & deck 1 filter : nothing : crossfader

Hmmm..... I think the 2/4 one is better than the 1/4 one (the filter there comes in too late).

Dunno how these would be affected by the chosen crossfader curve.

I like the critical thinking, let's explore this idea,

The vids of the pioneer XFfilter don't show enough tbh, how about HW users throw some ideas out.

I personally feel like this Scripted FX is a 1 in 20, (in relation to how often it would be used) BUT it's still a decent idea. so what do you think it should be?

e.g.
the end 1/4's script behaves like so,

Between XF 0% to 25% deck 2 filter = 100% to 50%,
Between XF 75% to 100% = deck 1 filter = 50% to 100%

I think part of the problem may be that as the lows are being filtered out, the filtered track gets considerable quieter - and so "loses out" to the incoming one as the crossfader moves over. The level of that outgoing track is basically being reduced twice - once by the crossfader and again by the HPF.

This is one reason why I don't like using the crossfader. You're not as in control of the levels.

If I was doing this manually on my Xone:92 I'd be using upfaders only and adjusting levels on the fly.

Thanks for the help guys

I'm the same, most of the time I use the gate(s), I usually have the XF on a scratch curve and use it for cutting up.
