F7 LOOP PROCESS(X FADE/ B&F)
i About the loop process (cross-fade/back-and-forth)
function.
■ This comprises the cross-fade function and the back-
and-forth function, these two funct.ons are distinc!
from each other,
A. The cross-fade function.
■ Once you have used F1 to select a sound from a
multisound and then used F6 to set the loop start and
length parameters, you can use the cross-fade func­
tion to take a portion of the waveform of a particular
length from in front of the start point and mix it into
the end which has been attenuated over a portion of
the sam e length.
■ Immediately before a cross fade is executed, the area
to be overwritten is "evacuated" to the remaining
area that is free in wave memory. Therefore, a cross
fade can not be carried out if insufficient free area re­
mains-
Wave memory
■ C ross fade can be performed only if these three re­
quirements are satisfied:
■ Immediately after a cross fade is executed (and only
before doing anything else) it is possible to put the
evacuated data back into its original position, thereby
restoring the sound to its previous condition.
■ For the cross fade length you can choose any integer
value (1, 2, 3, etc.) up to 256 or any multiple of 256
(256, 512, 768, ...)>
