Velocity Window - E-Mu ProteusX Operation Manual

To Positionally Crossfade
This technique can help mask the point at which two sounds meet or can be used for
crossfading sound effects. The fade parameters allow the volume of the voice or sample
to be faded out as a function of key position. In the screen shown below, voices 1 and 2
are being positionally crossfaded over a range of five notes.
As the voice boundaries are crossed playing up the keyboard, the lower voice gradually
fades out as the upper voice fades in.
VOICE 1 VOICE 2

Velocity Window

The Velocity Window allows you to control the volume of a voice by the key velocity.
Using this function, you can crossfade or cross-switch between voices by key velocity.
Suppose you had several samples (voices) of the same piano note, one played soft, the
next played medium hard, and the third played hard. Using this function, you could set
the velocity at which each of the voices would sound, thus recreating the response of the
actual instrument.
