(n.) A control found on professional DJ performance mixers that is used to change the shape or taper of the fader action. At 50 percent of travel, a fader may allow 50 percent, 10 percent, or 90 percent of the audio signal to pass depending on the taper of the control. The contour control (switched, continuous, or stepped variable) changes this amount.
