Although rarely used, automatic fades are available by computer keyboard or MIDI keys. The
advantage with either type of fade is you can concentrate on tempo and let the software take the
responsibility of altering the overall volume. The limitation is: although you control the tempo
of the fade, you do not control the degree of volume change heard with each press.
As soon as you press an NTempo key, the original volume level returns.
Fade Out
While you are in NTempo playback, you can press a keyboard shortcut that
automatically fades out playback as you tap – anywhere in the score.
1. In NTempo, at any beat you want to start decreasing your volume, continue tapping with the Z key.
» While you control the tempo with each tap, your output volume decreases smoothly.
2. Pressing any NTempo key (A through ‘) restores playback to the original volume level.
Fade In
Optionally, you can begin NTempo playback with a software-generated fade in. By tapping with the X key, playback
automatically begins at silence and gradually increases with each tap. You can continue using the X key for
tapping or – after you reach normal playing volume – you can switch at any point to the keys on the “A” row.
TIP: Don’t jump to a key on the “A” row too early: the rst press automatically restores normal playback volume.
