Crossfader and VCF

The crossfader is applied to the stereo music channels and lets you smoothly fade from one track into another

using a single fader. It is also used as a creative performance tool to layer or interact between two sounds when

cut or scratch mixing . It is fully assignable from each music channel and can be easily replaced if it becomes

damaged or worn through exceptional mechanical operation. The high quality Penny & Giles type is used.

The XONE:92 includes an enhanced version of the acclaimed analogue voltage controlled filter (VCF) section first

introduced on the XONE:62. These filters provide live performance tools far more powerful than any equaliser or

kill switch. They produce the same warm analogue resonant frequency sweeping sound as made popular by well

known classic analogue synthesisers, but using the latest high performance technology for quiet, stable operation.

1 VCA Crossfader. The XONE:92 uses eight

high performance voltage controlled amplifiers

(VCA), a pair for each music channel. The robust

45mm fader produces a DC control voltage which

determines the signal level of the VCAs. The

voltage is filtered to prevent any audible noise,

clicks or scratchiness resulting should the fader

track become worn. This benefit would not be

possible if the signal were routed through a

conventional audio fader.

2 Crossfader assignment indicators. Four

green leds above the crossfader help you visually

check which channels are routed to the crossfader.

3 Crossfader Curve. XONE:92 allows the

response of the crossfader to be altered to match all

mixing styles. Turning the crossfade curve control

fully anticlockwise gives a progressive curve with a

dip (4dB) in the centre position. Rotating the control

clockwise gradually reduces the centre dip and

sharpens the attack. Fully clockwise the response

is almost instantaneous and full signal level is

reached as soon as the crossfader knob is moved

from its end stop.

4 XFADE select switch. In the central position

the music signal level is unaffected by the

crossfader. Toggle to route the VCA control signal

through the crossfader. To route to the left (X) side

make sure the switch is in its left position. Switch to

the right position to route to the right (Y) side. The

relevant channel crossfader assignment indicator 2

will light.
