Let us now take a look at additional and more refined functions you can use for song playback.

Using the Fade-In/Out function

The [FADE] button can be used for two things,
depending on whether you press it before or during
song playback:
If pressed while playback is stopped
The [FADE] button flashes until you press the
[®÷ª] button, and the Fade-In starts.
Fading in means that the volume of both the
song and Keyboard parts (but neither the Vocal
Harmonizer 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 [VOLUME] knob. When
the Fade In is completed, the [FADE] button
goes dark.
If pressed while playback is running
The [FADE] button flashes and the volume grad-
ually decreases until it reaches zero (button
lights steadily). This is called a Fade-Out.
Fade Outs are extremely popular in pop music,
and the DisCover 5 allows you to end a song
just like the original.
If you think the Fade-In or Fade-Out takes too
much time, here’s how to change it:
(1) Press and hold the [FADE] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the field that provides access to the
parameter you wish to change.
Press [Time≈IN] to change the Fade-In time (0~
20 seconds).
Press [Time≈OUT] to change the Fade-Out time
(0~20 seconds).
Press [Time≈HOLD] to set how long it takes for
the volume to return to the [VOLUME] setting
(0~10 seconds) after completing the fade-out.
Do not select too short a value, because that
might produce highly unprofessional level
jumps.
(3) Use the [VALUE] dial to set the desired value.
(4) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main
page, or [Back≈to≈Menu] to return to the
menu.
