First of all what is it in detail? Not just what the name indicates? Why is it so important? desired, etc? I’ve been hearing loads about how XS doesn’t have it and that the lack of it is absurd. It doesn’t sound like a hugh implementation so, question to Yamaha; why doesn’t XS have it? Is this a consumer high demand feature that Yamaha has ignored or overlooked? Maybe it cost $300 to add it, I just don’t know. |

Re: Exactly what is Loop Crossfade?
There is nothing more to it than what its name implies. Loop crossfade is allowing your track to fade out while the next fades in. I personally don’t see why that is such a big deal either. Perhaps for people who should be using arranger keyboards it is - but then an arranger keyboard is what should be purchased.

Re: Exactly what is Loop Crossfade? Actually, loop crossfade is used to crossfade the begining and end of a looped sample. It can help to avoid noticeable loop points. |

Re: Exactly what is Loop Crossfade?
Loop cross fade is typically used for looping acoustic instrument or synth waveforms when creating sampled instruments. The vast majority of end users buy multi sampled libraries created by sound design professionals and don’t do this type of instrument sampling themselves.

Re: Exactly what is Loop Crossfade?
I absolutely agree, there’s no point in doing deep waveform editing in such a small screen like the ones found in current workstations. Dedicated waveform editing programs are far more intuitive and easier to use.

“I traded my ES rack for the ES6 because of the sampler, and I got greatly disappointed, sincerly. That’s why I want to upgrade to the XS,”

Re: Exactly what is Loop Crossfade? The XS has sample slicing. So I think - havent seen a manual yet - but I think it will do what you are wishing it to do. Again I havent seen any manual yet so I dont know for sure. |

“If you are interested in doing this type of looping work we have always recommended that you do it on a computer.”
