11.Now select the Loud layer dimension only, and change the “Attenuation controller invert” parameter to “Yes”. This will reverse the effect of the Mod Wheel on the Loud layer’s volume, creating a simple crossfade between the loud and soft layers. As the Mod Wheel moves from 0 to 127, the soft layer will fade out and the loud layer will fade in.

12. Save the instrument and load it to a MIDI channel.

13.Hold down the Note E2 while moving the Mod-Wheel back and forth. You should hear a smooth cross-fade between the soft and loud layer.

You can also do custom in and out points using the Crossfade Editor. This tool can handle any number of layers. When you use this method, leave the “Control invert” parameter set to “No” for all layers. The crossfade is defined instead by a set of four parameters:

Crossfade in start

Crossfade in finish

Crossfade out start

Crossfade out finish

Typically each layer will have its own set of fade points, coordinated with those of the other layers. The Crossfade Editor allows the crossfades for all layers to be visualized and edited graphically. In the example below, Layer 1 will gradually fade to Layer 2 as the Mod Wheel rises through the middle part of its range. Up to 128 layers are supported.
