Octatrack crossfader curve settings

I intend to get back on this now with the mk II. Will let you know where I end up.

This actually seems to be the best method. Setting up a scene with XVOL MIn and env vol to max I get a curve that is steep enough for chirps. But still cannot pull of tight crabs. Even adding a comp to fx slot one and upping the lev doesnā€™t tighten things further.

But this is the best one yet. Now if I could figure out a way to make ā€œcuts on both sidesā€ like this, thisā€™d be awesome and workable for anything xcept crabsā€¦

i know this thread is ancient, but hereā€™s a trick i havenā€™t seen anybody mention and it allows for a super tight kill on the cf, perfect for crab techniques and the sort

  1. place a delay on fx2, turn LOCK on and PASS off in fx setup
  2. set FB, TIME, BASE, WDTH all to minimum, set SEND to 127
  3. lock SEND to 0 on any scene you want to mute the track
  4. use a neighbor track for regular usage of delay/reverb

This use of stacking the LFOs is such a wonderful and elegant solution I never would have thought of myself if I spent days thinking about it. It works brilliantly and means I can have both scenes A and B going at full volume with the cross fader in the middle, which is essential for my set-up. Thank you so much. And wow! Iā€™m blown away by that problem solving.
