2580.0. ""The Lone Fader"" by WEFXEM::COTE (There wasn't even any Hollywood!) Sat Feb 23 1991 21:21

    Since I like the idea of having mix instructions inbedded in the
    sequence, I was real interested in Craig Anderton's "Lone Fader",
    published in the latest "Keyboard". Interested enough to build one.
    
    Couldn't be much easier, and works just great. It's nothing more than a
    10K fader mounted to a stero cord, which in turn plugs into the pedal
    input on my DX.

    I mounted mine in a 2X4" plastic box, and used an old headphone cable
    with a 1/4" jack on each end. Total price for the box, 2 jacks and
    plugs, plus the fader was $8.50. Construction time was .5 hour, most
    of that spent drilling 2 holes. ("Where's my chuck key?")
    
    If I've any complaint, it's with the pot taper (linear). It seems to 
    hit 90% of the level about 50% thru the travel. I used a big knob, so
    no big deal...
