For gradual transitions between the linked sounds, you
can use the link cross fade function. This is only effec
tive when both of the waveforms to be linked are suffi
ciently long.
To avoid noise caused by discontinuity in linked
waveforms, you can use the auto level adjust function.
This finds the point in the second waveform that has a
level that is the same as the end of the first waveform,
then links them at that point.
• Link cross fade
Example: Linking piano attack to string sustain.
Piano attack
n
The end of the first half of the
link is gradually attenuated.
String sustain
The beginning of the second
half of the link gradually in
creases in amplitude.
The piano sound gradually changes
into the string sound.
• Using the auto level adjust function.
If the first waveform ends at this
level...
Second waveform to be linked
points in the second waveform
that are at the same level.
Here is what would happen if we did not use auto level adjust in this case.
With auto level adjust.
