  • Velocity X-Fading Newbie question

    I am confused about Velocity X-Fading in Vienna Instruments. My understanding of velocity x-fading in other samplers was that it was a way of gradually shifting from the sound of one sample to the sound of another. For example, if if a note in the velocity range of 30-58 triggered one sample, and a note in the velocity range of 59-80 triggered a different sample, velocity x-fading could be applied so that the difference between the two samples would be smoothed, so that playing a note at velocity 58 would not produce a radically different sound from a note at velocity 59. From what I understand of what velocity x-fading is in Vienna Instruments, it is simply a way to use a controller to control the amplitude of the sound. I am using the Chamber Strings, and I would like to find a way to make it so that the difference in timbre between the different velocity samples is not so extreme.

  • Velocity xFade is exactly what you need to smooth out the difference in timbre.

  • Actually, I just figured out the solution to my problem, which was to keep the velocity sensitivity, but use crossfading. What I needed to due was to set note on velocity as the controller for crossfading in the map control window. Simple, but I somehow didn't make the connection...
