Although rarely used, automatic fades are available by computer keyboard or MIDI keys . The
advantage with either type of fade is you can concentrate on tempo and let the software take the
responsibility of altering the overall volume . The limitation is: although you control the tempo
of the fade, you do not control the
degree
of volume change heard with each press .
As soon as you press an NTempo key, the original volume level returns .
Fade Out
While you are in NTempo playback, you can press a keyboard shortcut that
automatically fades out playback as you tap – anywhere in the score .
1 . In NTempo, at any beat you want to start decreasing your volume, continue tapping with the
Z
key .
» While you control the tempo with each tap, your output volume decreases smoothly .
2 . Pressing any NTempo key (
A
through
‘
) restores playback to the original volume level .
Fade In
Optionally, you can begin NTempo playback with a software-generated fade in . By tapping with the
X
key, playback
automatically begins at silence and gradually increases with each tap . You can continue using the
X
key for
tapping or – after you reach normal playing volume – you can switch at any point to the keys on the “A” row .
TIP: Don’t jump to a key on the “A” row too early: the first press automatically restores normal playback volume .
