Fader custom curve

What is a fader curve

Fader range is from 0-1000, and by default this is a linear curve. But sometimes you want the fader to have more details - or 'throw' - in a certain area, on the cost of less details in other areas.

See these examples:

Reactor has a built-in graphic curve editor. It allows you to create any custom fader curve you want, including the examples above. You access it by selecting a fader hardware component, and open the advanced settings within Inpector. The curve editor is, of course, only available when selecting a 'fader' components, and not on buttons or knobs.

  4. click the Action 'Change' to open it

  5. click 'Show Advanced Action Options
