1. | With your French Horn Section patch from the preceding exercise loaded in your NN-XT, select the first group (MF) using the G column (we'll call this Group A). |
2. | Set the Hi Vel knob to 80 (Figure 6.106). Group A samples will now look striped and will play at softer velocities.Figure 6.106. Striped samples have altered velocity zones. [View full size image] |
3. | Set the Fade Out knob to 64. Group A samples will now begin to fade out at a velocity of 64 and will completely fade out by 80. |
4. | Select the second group (FF) using the G column (we'll call this Group B). |
5. | Set the Lo Vel knob to 64. |
6. | Set the Fade In knob to 64.Group B samples (FF) will start to fade in at the same velocity at which Group A samples start to fade out. |
7. | Test with soft and hard attacks to make sure the crossfade sounds the way you want it. |
8. | Tune the crossfade by shortening or lengthening the velocity overlap between groups. You may also want to adjust group volume using the Amp Envelope/Level knob. |
