A-B FADE IN and set the parameters in the display to read, A-B FADE IN=0 TO 40. Scroll right
one more page, and set the parameters in the display to read, C-D FADEOUT=50 TO 60. Press
the Edit button to return to the Edit Context page. Underline LYR=
1 in the display and change
that to LYR= 2 . The display now reads UNNAMED LYR= 2 WS=ALL.
Press the Edit button to return to the Edit/Amp page. Scroll right to the VOLUME MOD page,
and set it to VOLUME MOD=KBD * 99. Scroll right to the A-B FADE IN page and set it to A-B
FADE IN =45 TO 55. Scroll right to the C-D FADE OUT page and set it to C-D FADE OUT=65
TO 75.
Press the Edit button and set the parameters in the display to read UNNAMED LYR= 3 WS=ALL.
Press the Edit button again to return to the Edit/Amp page. Scroll right to VOLUME MOD, and
set it to VOLUME MOD=KBD * 99. Scroll right to A-B FADE IN and set the parameters to A-B
FADE IN=60 TO 70. Scroll to C-D FADE OUT and set it to C-D FADE OUT=80 TO 127. The
following diagram illustrates the keyboard crossfade that you have now constructed:
0 127 32 64 96
"two"
V
O
L
U
M
E
"one" "three"
MIDI Key # 36
MIDI Key # 96
As you play chromatically up the keyboard you will hear the three different WaveSamples fading
in and out. The voice samples could have been piano or synthesizer samples, and the result
would have been the same. When the keyboard is used as the Volume Modulator, the Crossfade
Breakpoint parameters enabled you to blend the samples together seamlessly.
Note that when the keyboard is used as the volume modulator, the numbers selected for A, B, C,
and D refer to MIDI key numbers. The low C on the ASR–10 keyboard is MIDI key # 36; the high
C is MIDI key number 96. Middle C is MIDI key # 60. And so on. (The keys of an 88-note piano-
style keyboard go from MIDI key 21 to MIDI key 108.)
Although the crossfade described above uses the keyboard to determine the breakpoints. The
output of any of the available modulators found on the Edit/Amp Volume Mod parameter can
be used.
See Section 11 — WaveSample and Layer Parameters for more information on the Volume Modulator
Cross Fade Breakpoints.
