Defining the Real-time Crossfade Range
4.
Press
Enter
, then use the data entry control to advance to the
Real-time
Crossfade
page.
5.
Define the High and Low range of each Layer. In this example the entire
range of 0-127 is used.
6.
Define the Fades for each Layer. This is just an initial setting. The Range
and Fade parameters may have to be adjusted later to get a smooth
crossfade.
7.
Press
Home/Enter
and use the data entry control to advance to the
PatchCord
page. Select Layer 1.
8.
Select the modulation source for the crossfade (knob, pedal, LFO,
Envelope) and set the destination to RTXfade. Set the Cord Amount to
+100.
9.
Select Layer 2
. Select the same source and destination for the crossfade
and set the Cord Amount to +127.
10.
Play the keyboard
while adjusting the real-time controller. Go back to
the Real-time Crossfade screens to fine tune the crossfade if necessary.
Decreasing the fade size will narrow the region where both layers are
sounding.
To Randomly Cross-Switch Between Four Layers:
In certain situations, you may want to switch between several layers
randomly.
Crossfade Random
is a modulation source specifically designed
to handle this situation. Unlike the other random sources, Crossfade
Random generates one random number for all layers each time a key is
pressed.
To set up a four layer Cross-Switch, simply assign each of the four layers to
a different Real-time Crossfade range, then assign XfdRnd to RTXfade in
the PatchCords for each layer.
