Setting Crossfade Path and Fade Time
After setting values for a layer's
parameters, crossfade path and fade
time can be set for each relevant
parameter. You can also adjust pro-
gramming from this screen too. A
crossfade path determines how a
parameter fades from one value to
another, and a fade time determines
how quickly a parameter fades from
one value to another. By default
Catalyst will snap parameters, with a
zero second fade time.
To set a crossfade path, click on the
pink path box in the value column
for the parameter you wish to adjust.
Snap Will snap the value - i.e. the value of the parameter will fade from one value to the
desired value in zero seconds.
Fade To This will allow a fade time to be used with this parameter.
Click on the Time box to enter in a fade time. Hit enter when you have finished typing in
the fade time.
Snap Fade This snaps the parameter into a set value and then fades to another value.
Sine This applies a sine wave between two set values
Cosine This applies a cosine wave between a maximum and minimum value.
Random This randomizes the parameter value between two points
Flip This flips between two values.
Flicker Applies a flicker to a parameter value
