SPLIT x-FaDE SETTINgS
Normally the transition between two keyboard zones is immediate, with
no overlap between the sounds selected for each zone. By activating
one of the
X-FADE
settings, sounds can instead be mixed or “cross-
faded” across the split point, creating a smooth transition between the
sounds. The three available options are:
When x-Fade is turned
Off
there is no cross-fade between sounds.
The
1
setting represents a total width of 12 semitones. The sound
below
the split point fades out across 6 notes
above
it and sounds
above
the
split point will similarily reach 6 notes
below
it.
The
2
setting provides a width of 24 semitones, 12 below the split point
and 12 above it.

There are two distinct options for how programs and banks are
navigated: The default "page based" mode and the
Numeric Pad
mode.
To enable or disable Numeric Pad mode press
NUM PAD
(Shift + Prog
View).
In Numeric Pad mode the Program Select 1-5 buttons are used
for
entering any program number (11-55) within the current bank, rather
than directly switching between the 5 programs on a page. as an
example, to select program
12
within the current bank, first press
Program Select 1 (to select page 1) and then Program Select 2 (to
select program 2 within that page). Here are some additional points to
keep in mind:
• The Program dial can be used for switching programs incrementally,
just as in the default navigation mode.
• a “num” symbol at the top of the display indicates that Numeric Pad
navigation is active.
