KEYGROUP CROSSFADE
As well as ‘butting’ keygroups end to end, you may also set keyspan overlaps.
Sometimes, when mapping samples out across the keyboard range, there can be abrupt tonal
changes from one sample/keygroup to another. In such circumstances, you may overlap adjacent
keyspan ranges. The S6000 will automatically crossfade the two keygroups for a smooth transition
between the keygroups. E.g.:
KEYGROUP 1 KEYGROUP 2
C0 - C4 D#3-G8
In this simple example, two keygroups have been set to overlap. When played, the region between
D#3 and C4 will crossfade.
NOTE: If there is a tuning discrepancy between the keygroups’ samples, you may experience
a ‘chorus’ effect in the overlap/crossfade region. Be sure to tune the samples precisely to
overcome this.
Also, please note that in the overlap region, two voices are used (four if they are stereo samples)
and so you will find that polyphony is reduced in the overlap/crossfade region.
