Mapping Zones
Creating Fades and Crossfades
79
To restrict the movement to the horizontal direction, start dragging the zone and press Ctrl/
Cmd, and to restrict movement to vertical, start dragging and press Alt. When you move
sample zones horizontally, they are transposed, therefore, it might be necessary to adjust the
root key.
Creating Fades and Crossfades
PREREQUISITE
On the Crossfades submenu of the context menu, Enable Crossfades on Keyboard Axis or
Enable Crossfade on Velocity Axis, or both, are activated.
PROCEDURE
• Drag the fade handles to create a fade. For keyboard axis fades, drag left or right and
for velocity axis fades, drag up or down.
By default, the fade curve is exponential, but you can change the curvature by dragging
the curve up and down. The maximum curve setting represents an equal power curve.
This is useful for velocity crossfades.
If you want to create symmetric crossfades, activate the corresponding button on the
toolbar.

Setting Key Range and Velocity Range
• To set the key range, move the mouse to one of the borders of a zone and drag to the
left or the right, or enter the values manually in the Low Key and High Key value fields.
• To set the velocity range, move the mouse to one of the borders of a zone and drag
up or down, or enter the values manually in the Low Velocity and High Velocity value
fields.
NOTE
If several zones are selected, the key range or the velocity range is modified for all the zones
simultaneously. However, only the values of the focused zone are displayed in the edit fields.
Zooming
The Mapping Editor can zoom and scroll in two dimensions: the keyboard and the velocity
scale.

Once you have zoomed in, you can use the scrollbar to move to a specific velocity or
keyboard area.
