4.5D TRACK FADES

The ML-9600 gives the user the ability to easily create fade-ins and fade-outs on Tracks. Both functions

are accessed by moving the cursor to the Playlist Edit Page Field and pressing the UP/YES or

DOWN/NO buttons until the characters "FdIn" or "Fout" are displayed. Figures 4.5.4 and 4.5.5

illustrate how the display will look when indicating Track fades.

Track Fade-In Display.

Figure 4.5.5

Track Fade-Out Display.

The "FdIn" or "FOut" in the display indicates that you are on either the Track fade-in or Track fade-out

page. To the right of "FdIn" or "FOut" is a number that indicates the length of the fade, adjustable in

10mS increments. Moving the cursor under the "ones" place and pressing the UP/YES or DOWN/NO

will increment the value in 1 second increments, while moving the cursor under the "hundredths" place

and pressing the UP/YES or DOWN/NO will increment the value in 10 millisecond increments.

TIP: Pressing UP/YES and DOWN/NO simultaneously while in the fade length field will reset the fade

length to zero seconds.

A fade's maximum time is limited to the length of the Track, or to 99.99 seconds, whichever is smaller.

If both fade-in and fade are used on the same Track, the total fade time (fade-in + fade- out) can not

exceed the length of the Track. If, for instance, you have a Track that is 2 minutes long (120 seconds)

and you have entered a fade-out time of 30 seconds, you can not set your fade in time to any greater

than 90 seconds.

To the right of the fade length value is the fade shape indicator. Changing this parameter will affect the

way that the fade sounds as it is being performed. This value can be changed between LIN(linear fade),

LG1(Normal Log), and LG2(inverse log). Figure 4.5.6 illustrates the fade shapes.
