4-Way Crossfader with Max in Center

Question

A question from a very high-profile user

I have a question about the X-Y Crossfader that I made today.

I based what I made on your 4-mic tutorial you had. Since your tutorial was done with an earlier version of MIDI Designer, it wasn't exactly the same, so I guessed my way through it.  It is working....but maybe not exactly the way you intended....and maybe not they way I want ideally.  

What I'm trying to do is more like a "vector" joystick, if you've ever seen those on Korg Products or the good old Prophet VS. If the position is the middle I'd like to hear all 4 elements.  As I move around the edges I would hear each individually or a blend of two of them as I move around.  

Answer 1

This is more straightforward. 

1. Create four knobs. 
   
   
    
2. Change Knob 1 and Knob 3 to be "Inverted"
   
    
3. Create an XY pad
4. Make the X axis the supercontrol for Knob 1 and Knob 2
5. Make the Y axis the supercontrol for Knob 3 and Knob 4
6. Change all four knobs to be crossfader overlap .5 
   
    
   
    
7. That's it. Now Knob 1 and Knob 2 are the X axis (middle is max mix of both), and Knob 3 and 4 are Y axis (middle is max).
