Building Crossfaders using the Combinator by Kurt Kurasaki
One of the basic elements for many live applications is the ability to segue between two audio sources in real-time using a crossfader. The principle is simple where the level of two faders simultaneously change when receiving a single controller event.

It works on Reason v1 and later, and probably on other sequencing programs too, it only requires to load a sample, and to play it while applying a heavy pitch effect realtime.
