    I am confused about Velocity X-Fading in Vienna Instruments. My understanding of velocity x-fading in other samplers was that it was a way of gradually shifting from the sound of one sample to the sound of another. For example, if if a note in the velocity range of 30-58 triggered one sample, and a note in the velocity range of 59-80 triggered a different sample, velocity x-fading could be applied so that the difference between the two samples would be smoothed, so that playing a note at velocity 58 would not produce a radically different sound from a note at velocity 59. From what I understand of what velocity x-fading is in Vienna Instruments, it is simply a way to use a controller to control the amplitude of the sound. I am using the Chamber Strings, and I would like to find a way to make it so that the difference in timbre between the different velocity samples is not so extreme.

    Velocity xFade is exactly what you need to smooth out the difference in timbre.

    Actually, I just figured out the solution to my problem, which was to keep the velocity sensitivity, but use crossfading. What I needed to due was to set note on velocity as the controller for crossfading in the map control window. Simple, but I somehow didn't make the connection...
