The idea behind cross fading is to blend the data preceding the start of the loop with the data at
the end of a loop, for a smooth transition between the two. The CROSS FADE LOOP command is
a simple cross fade that works well with periodic waveforms that are relatively constant in tone.
The default values are: SCALE DEPTH=3 dB; FADE ZONE=50%.
SCALE DEPTH determines the amount of volume drop that will have occurred in the original
material at the halfway point of the cross fade. The material that is being added will follow an
inverse curve, moving up to the same level at the halfway point. The result should be an even
level of volume as the cross fade occurs.
The FADE ZONE determines the percentage of the loop over which the cross fade will occur. A
setting of 99% would cause the cross fade to begin at the beginning of the loop. Lower values
will start the fade nearer the end of the loop, causing the fade to occur in a shorter period of time.
Manual Ranges: FADE ZONE=1% to 99%; SCALE DEPTH=3 dB to 6 dB. With manual ranges, 3
dB will give you an exponential curve, while 6 dB is linear.

• Select CROSS FADE LOOP. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads USE DEFAULT VALUES? Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads KEEP=OLD/NEW. Underline NEW and play the keyboard to hear the new
loop, or underline OLD to hear the original. Underline NEW and press Enter•Yes to keep the
new loop. Or, press Cancel•No to keep the old loop (the old loop will be kept no matter the
location of the cursor).
• Pressing Cancel•No in response to USE DEFAULT VALUES, prompts the ASR-10 to display
the manual values for this command. Use the Left/Right Arrow buttons to scroll to select:
SCALE DEPTH=(3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, or 6.0 DB) and FADE ZONE (PERCENT)=(1 to 99). Use
the Up/Down Arrow buttons, or the Data Entry Slider to change the scale depth or fade zone.
Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads KEEP= OLD/NEW. Press Enter•Yes to complete the command (or
Cancel•No to keep the original).
Note:
When STEREO LAYER LINK= ON, this command will be simultaneously performed on the
corresponding WaveSample in the companion layer.
