Hello this is more a how to then a how
I have found a technique for crossfading between b lines when making neurofunk and have searched tirelessly to find an alternative to using automation or logic's crossfade tool then i stumbled on this little gem.
I thought i would share it with you all incase anyone else finds it a handy thing to use.
I believe you can set the fader to be controlled by cc messages as well so setting midi gear up to control it shouldn't be a problem.
cool tutorial, thanks. but can you post an example or something showing how this would be useful for crossfading a bass line? i don't usually have the need to crossfade anything so im curious to hear/see an example. the most i ever is maybe just fade in or fade out a little bit so its not so harsh when switching up a bass line...but i feel like automation is the easiest way to do that vs doing this, but im sure this has its uses.

I've not used the technique yet and only read about it on a forum the other day.It was someone posting a possible way of getting the Calyx and Teebee style bassline mentalness to your tracks.
Basically you had all you basslines made and lay'ed out on there tracks them used the crossfader to just mix between the channel's.Until i try this technique out i am none the wiser if it will be any good but thought i would post the crossfader thing for people to see a bit about using logic's enviroment because it seems to be really ignored on this forum being as it is probably one of the most powerful features in logic.
If you search for neurofunk bassline tuts on dogs on acid you will probably find what i was reading.
you should use the logic tremelo or xfer record's LFO tool on both tracks and invert the phase. the logic faders lose resolution at the lower end because they cluster the midi values around 0 db. MIDI has terribly low resolution which is a huge drawback to the environment versus max msp.
