Map-based crossfader jit.shade performs a linear crossfade between corresponding cells in two input matrices at a rate determined by the values of the cells of a third "map" matrix. The crossfade rate is calculated in frames rather than units of time. Cycling '74 Jitter Jitter Compositing in TEXT_HERE in2 TEXT_HERE in3 TEXT_HERE out TEXT_HERE dumpout TEXT_HERE char long float32 float64 long char long float32 float64 Start the fade over from the beginning Zeroes the fade counter, causing the fade to start over from the beginning. The fade counter is actually managed in the second plane of matrix 3. If initialization values were provided in that plane, they are lost after a reset message is received. Maximum rate Maximum rate (default = 255) Minimum rate Minimum rate (default = 0) Crossfade mode Crossfade mode (default = 0 (start to end))
0 = start to end crossfade: Fades from start to end without looping and sends a done message out the right outlet on completion.
1 = palindrome crossfade: Fades from start to end, then reverse direction.
2 = looped cellwise start to end crossfade: Once any cell has finished its fade, it begins again.

Three fade modes are available. mode 0 crossfades unidirectionally from start to finish, and sends a done message out the right outlet when the fade is complete. While mode 1 and mode 2 are more continuous fade processes, the do not provide any feedback upon completion of a crossfade.

Generally, a 1-plane long matrix is sent to inlet 3 as the map. If you send a 2-plane matrix, plane 2 of the matrix can be used to set initial values for the crossfade.
