81 Delay fill-in and fader cut
Like Tip 69 above, this shows you another way to use Delay for a fill-in — while you flick the Cross-
fader to mute the Pattern.
First, select the Delay effect and set the CONTROL knob to about 1 o’clock and the BALANCE knob
to 12 o’clock. Select P47, and play V B5.
Let the Pattern play for one bar. On the “two” of bar 2, turn the effect on. Then, right on the “three”
downbeat, slap the Crossfader all the way right to cut the Pattern. If you’ve hit both of these right,
the Delay should continue the beat and start to fade out. Finally turn off the delay and flick the
Crossfader back to center on the next “one” beat, to bring the Pattern back in.
82 Fade the scratch in and out!
Now for some mixing finesse! With the Crossfader set to the center, scratch along with the Pattern.
As you keep both the Pattern and the scratching happening, gradually — ever so slowly — move
the Crossfader to the left, and your scratching will be faded out.
Naturally, you can work in the opposite direction, too — to fade in the scratch sound:
