What XFade does
The plugin blends two incoming streams and overlays samples on either side of the fade. Its Damn Fast XFade mode is described by the developer as a fade in and out that can run more than once per buffer, which the notes point to for live use. An adjustable cutoff sets the crossfade slope: a sharp curve gives fast cuts, while a gradual slope gives smooth fades between tracks. XFade is available as VST3, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS (64-bit), with trial access offered. The release circulates as a crack and a torrent, and searches pair the name with keygen and serial key.
Key features
- Two-stream crossfader. The plugin fades between two input streams within the DAW, so a transition can be handled without a separate mixer.
- Fast fade mode. Damn Fast XFade is described as a fade in and out that can run more than once per buffer.
- Adjustable crossfade slope. The cutoff control sets the slope, from sharp curves for fast cuts to gradual slopes for slow, smooth fades.
- Side sample players. Sample players on each side overlay audio into the fade, for example a one-shot air horn kept as a fallback track.
- Scratch and MIDI control. The developer suggests a MIDI device for high-speed scratching, and notes that XFade keeps up with fast gestures.
- Crack and keygen variants. Repack, .rar and .iso builds circulate alongside a crack, keygen and serial key queries for the plugin.
