Unlike the Clear function, this will erase the samples within the selected range and shorten the
sample, like cutting a section out of a tape and splicing the ends. If you want to silence a
segment of the sample without shortening it, use the Clear function.
The Crossfade (Xfade) parameter enables you to smooth the transition from the deleted sample
segment to the remaining sample segments, and can create overdub effects. The value of the
Xfade parameter defines the amount of time the sample will take to fade to silence at the
beginning of the deleted segment, and to ramp back up to the volume of the remaining portion
of the sample.
The Curve parameter lets you choose from a variety of crossfade curves that affect the nature of
the crossfade. A value of LIN gives a straight linear curve that fades uniformly from start to
finish. A value of EXP sets an exponential curve that starts gradually and steepens toward the
finish. A value of COS sets a Cosine curve. A value of EQL applies an equal crossfade that is the
same at both ends of the deleted segment. A value of MIX assigns a curve that will start the
crossfade before the start point of the deleted segment, and will end after the end point of the
deleted segment. This differs from the other curves, which apply crossfade only to the deleted
segment.
Crossfading a sample will shorten it by half the time you specify. The greatest length of
crossfade you can get is the entire length of the shorter crossfaded segment (even though you
can enter greater amounts with the Alpha Wheel or alphanumeric buttonpad). A crossfade of
this length would crossfade the two samples over the entire length of the shorter segment.

With this function you can reverse the order of the individual samples between the start and
end positions you set. The Xfade parameter lets you apply a crossfade to the start and end of
the reversed segment. The Curve parameter lets you select a crossfade curve. The available
