Support for equal-power curve for volume parameters
planned

This was a suggestion that I had made on Discord awhile back. Nice to see it in the 'Planned' stage of things.
To add to this, or flesh out the idea a touch more, my original thought was for a crossfader widget where you could assign one or more audio sources to each side. This widget would have configurable crossfader curves.
Crossfaders, I believe, have different curves than an up fader (channel fader) would have. So, having a dedicated crossfader widget with crossfader specific curves was my original intent.
After jamming/performing more with Loopy Pro, general volume fader curves are also highly desirable. I've attached a picture from my Allen & Heath PX5 mixer to show you what those curves look like. Currently, you can only configure the left most 'xfader' curve in Loopy Pro. The middle curve is much more desirable for drum transitions while the right-most curve is what scratch DJs look for (not sure how one would scratch loops using a MIDI controller but if you're going to look at crossfader curves, you might as well code for all DJ use cases). Again, with the channel faders, my preference is for the middle curve where currently only the left most curve is available in Loopy Pro. I've found, through jamming/performing over the last few months, is that doing volume fades is a bit touchy to get right. The volume drops a bit too quickly to do nice smooth fade outs by hand.
I think you get the point but I just wanted to clarify as, realistically, having a crossfader widget with specific crossfader curves and separate configurable fader curves for all other volume objects would be an incredible boon!
Big thanks in advance! :D

This would be excellent - thanks a lot!
Currently it is not possibe to do smooth crossfades / transitions between recorded signal and Loopy with just one controller - the only workaround I found was to use two separate faders.
