Introduction

Crossfade Loop Synth

Crossfade Loop Synth is at heart a simple

sample playback synth plug-in.

It plays samples in the classic sampler manner

- by simply altering the playback speed ac-

cording to the desired note. No fancy time-

stretching or pitch shifting is applied.

You can control how the sample is looped as it

is played. An adjustable amount of crossfade

can be applied to the loop endpoints to smooth

the transitions. This makes it extremely easy to produce glitch-free pad sounds.

The loops can also be played backwards and alternately forwards and backwards

(pendulum-style).

Further sound processing can be applied in the form of overdrive/saturation, ﬁltering, en-

velopes (for amplitude and ﬁlter), pulse-width modulation, oscillator sync and LFOs (one

each for ﬁlter, pitch, PWM and sync).

The synth is 32 note polyphonic, and all parameters can be controlled by MIDI controllers.

Crossfade Loop Synth E"ect

Crossfade Loop Synth Effect is the same as

Crossfade Loop Synth except you can record

live audio to use as the sample, rather than

just loading it from disk.

You can record continuously, even while play-

ing back. This allows you to use the plug-in as

an extremely unusual and creative delay ef-

fect. For example you can have the delays

played back at double the pitch/speed you

played them. Or at double the pitch and backwards. Or as a chord. Or repeat the ﬁrst beat

of every bar... the possibilities are legion.

You can save the recorded sample to disk as an AIFF (Mac OS X) or WAV (Windows) ﬁle

for later use.
