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

key .

» While you control the tempo with each tap, your output volume decreases smoothly .

2 . Pressing any NTempo key (

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

key, playback

automatically begins at silence and gradually increases with each tap . You can continue using the

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 .
