12. More refined song functions
Let us have a look at additional and more refined func-
tions you can use for song playback. See page 179 for
recording and editing sequencer songs.

Using the Fade-In/Out function

If you don’t change their assignments, the ASSIGN SW
[1] and [2] buttons allow you to start fade-ins and fade-
outs. This function is also available for Style playback.
Note: If you changed the assignments of these buttons, see
page 71 for how to select the Fade-In and Fade-Out functions.
Note: Fade-In and Fade-Out can also be assigned to an
optional footswitch, etc.
■Fade-In
Fading in means that the volume of both the song
and Keyboard parts (but neither the Vocal Harmonist
signal, nor your voice) gradually increases, giving the
impression that you have been playing for a long
time before the music becomes audible. The volume
is automatically set to zero and then gradually
increased to the value specified with the MASTER
[VOLUME] knob.
• Stop song (or Style) playback and press ASSIGN SW
[1] (it flashes).
• Now start song or Style playback. The volume gradu-
ally increases.
As soon as the volume has returned to normal,
ASSIGN SW [1] goes dark.
■Fade-Out
• Start song (or Style) playback and press ASSIGN SW
[2] (it flashes).
The volume gradually decreases until it reaches zero
(the button goes dark). Song or Style playback stops.
If you think the Fade-In or Fade-Out takes too long,
here’s how to change it:
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [FUNCTION], then the [FADE¥IN/OUT] field.
(3) Press the field of the parameter you wish to
change.
Press [TIME¥IN] to change the Fade-In duration (0~20
seconds).
Press [TIME¥OUT] to change the Fade-Out duration
(0~20 seconds).
Press [TIME¥HOLD] to set how long it takes for the
volume to return to the MASTER [VOLUME] setting
(0~10 seconds) after completing the fade-out.
(4) Set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or
the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
(5) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
