I made an application to use a Launchpad as a 8 track mixer for my Octatrack (or Monomachine).
With the application you can make some very long automated fades, like fading in track 1 e.g.2 min from 0% to 100% , or very short ones: fading out track 2 in 250ms, all while the other tracks are fading in a different speed.
There are still some bugs but it is already very stable and good to use. Please give me some feedback.
On the launchpad:
The top bar of round buttons has a mute function per default.
With the vertical button bar on the right you can chose the time the fader needs from its current position to the desired position.
The button matrix are 8 vertical auto-faders. The faders interpolate the values from 1 to 127.
Please download and test the mac application or the native max patch.
If anyone would be so kind and build a windows application out of it, i will put on my website for download.
