Velocity XFade Application: Fade between cellos and violins, depending on how hard
you play a key. Have a fuzz guitar sound assigned so that playing softly plays the
fundamental, and playing harder brings in a feedback note an octave above the
fundamental.
Positional XFade Application: Transposing a sampled sound lower usually produces
a more muffled sound than the original sample, and transposing upwards usually
produces a thinner, brighter sound. Overlapping voices and using Positional Crossfade
can balance out the voice timbres; as one voice becomes progressively brighter, it can be
fading out as the overly muffled part of the next voice fades in. Combining the overly
thin and overly muffled voices in the correct proportion can produce an overall timbre
that ends up sounding just right.
