The fade length commands are also accessible from keyboard accelerators that are active whenever
there are one or more ingredients selected and the ingredient editor control panel is selected:
Z = Fade-in Length
- by nudge amount
X = Fade-in Length to Nowline
C = Fade-in by nudge amount
V = Fade-out - by nudge amount
B = Fade-out Length to Nowline
N = Fade-out by nudge amount
The effect of changing fade length depends on the currently selected ingredient fade pivot point. See
§
2.3.8.1
for more on fade pivot points.
2.11.6.2
Fade Type
The fade type is specified using a fade curve pop-up menu and a number box. The available fade
curves are:
•
Linear
•
Power N
•
Cosine
•
Root Cosine
The curves are named according to the way they shape the amplitude:
The linear curve attenuates 6dB at its mid-point. The power N curves are exponentials that attenuate
N dB at their mid-points. The number box to the right of the curve menu specifies N. This field only
has an effect when the Power N curve type is selected. The root cosine curve traces a quarter cycle
of a cosine (which corresponds to a half-cycle of cosine in the power domain). The cosine fade curve
impresses a half cycle cosinusoidal amplitude on the fade.
The channel number shows the channel of the current ingredient. Changing the channel number and
pressing
ENTER
moves all the selected ingredients to the same channel. Pressing the
+
or
-
buttons
increments or decrements the channel assignment of every selected ingredient by one, preserving the
channel offset between all the ingredients in the selection. Channel assign wraps around if necessary.
The clip info. section describes the DSD file associated with the current ingredient.
Polarity is actually an attribute of each ingredient, not the clip itself, and it is controlled here. The
invert polarity checkbox applies only to the current ingredient. When this box is checked, the polarity
of the current ingredient is inverted, otherwise the polarity is the same as its clip. Changing the
checkbox affects only the current ingredient. The other ingredients in the selection are not affected.
