EPS-16
PLUS
This lets you use velocity, keyboard position, pressure or any other modulator to
Crossfade between Wavesamples.
Note:
Whenever you Crossfade between Wavesamples, the Wavesamples must be in
different layers, since only one Wavesample can occupy a given key within a
single layer.
Tutorial — Keyboard Crossfade
We'll use the Crossfade breakpoints to create a keyboard Crossfade. First, create
three samples in three layers:
• With a microphone connected to the Audio In of the EPS-16 PLUS, press
Sample, then pick a sample instrument. Press Enter•Yes and say "one,"
then press Cancel•No to stop sampling. Make the lowest C on the keyboard
the root key for sample "one" in layer 1.
• The next sample will be in a NEW layer. Press Sample, then pick the same
sample instrument Underline LYR=1 and change that to LYR=N. Press
Enter•Yes twice (unless you want to make adjustments to the Level-Detect
Mode). Say "two." Press Cancel•No and assign the root key to middle C
(two octaves above the lowest C). That's sample "two" in layer 2.
• Press Sample, then pick the same sample instrument. Underline LYR=2 and
change that to LYR=N. Press Enter•Yes twice, and say, "three" into the
microphone. Press Cancel•No and assign the root key to the C two octaves
above middle C. Sample "one" is in the bottom third of the keyboard. Sample
"two" is in the middle third, and sample "three" is in the top third.
Press the Edit button which takes you to the EDIT page. Adjust the parameters
in the display so they read UNNAMED I LYR=1 WS=ALL. Press the Amp
button. You are now on the EDIT/Amp page. Scroll right to VOLUME MOD
and adjust the parameters so the display reads VOLUME MOD=KBD • 0. This
selects KBD (keyboard) as the volume modulator. Underline the number in the
display and change it to 99. The display will read VOLUME MOD=KBD • 99.
Scroll right to A-B FADE IN and set the parameters in the display to read, A-B
FADE IN=0 40. Scroll right one more page, and set the parameters in the display
to read, C-D FADEOUT=50 60. Press the Edit button to return to the EDIT
page. Underline LYR=1 in the display and change that to LYR=2. The display
now reads UNNAMED I 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 55. Scroll right to the C-
D FADE OUT page and set it to C-D FADE OUT=65 75.
Press the Edit button and set the parameters in the display to read UNNAMED I
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 70. Scroll to
C-D FADE OUT and set it to C-D FADE OUT=80 127. The diagram on the
following page illustrates the keyboard Crossfade that you have now constructed:
