I want to be able to automate a crossfade between, say, a tuba legato and sforzando. I don't know where to look for this information. I've been using CC2 but I gather I might have to do a volumn or expression controller.
Anyone know?

Thank you Psul.
Yes I realized earlier it was probably slot crossfade I was looking for. Now I still have to figure it out.
Best,

I have gone over this multiple times and still I'm doing something wrong!
I've set the Y axis to CC1, and have used the crossfade activation in the window. But it is still not staying in the second row and doesn't crossfade but simply changes. How do I get it to slot crossfade?
I'm doing something wrong with the mod wheel apparently as it controls which row I'm in and I still don't know how to smoothly change even if I keep it high.
Hi Edward, hopefully that explanation did the trick? If not, try starting from scratch with an empty player, select the 'Advanced' view, then drag and drop a *single patch* from the Patch list into slot 1a. Then drag a different patch into slot 1b. You can now cross-fade between the two slots by using MIDI CC20 commands. To change the CC controller number to CC1 (= mod wheel), select 'Ctrl Map' (lower left of screen), select 'SlotXF', click on the box underneath 'Source', select 'Controller' and change the CC number there. HTH!
Thanks John and Conquer. I am also trying to automate this and have been somewhat successful by putting CC1 into the Logic 9 window. But what I want at present is a nasty snarly attack (brass group sf?) quickly getting softer and smoother to allow for the narration following to sound through.
Is not the term I want "cuvèe"?
I really do need to master slot crossfade but maybe it's not exactly what's needed here?

Cuivré (meaning 'brassy', see www.vsl.co.at/en/70/3139/3141/3142/5410.vsl).
You could try putting a 'sffz' or 'sus blare' patch in one slot, and cross-fading to 'fp' or 'sus' in the other. The sffz patches generally have the fiercest attacks in the VSL collections.
Yes, but I don't think I have any of the sffz or sus blare in any of the the brass samples I have so far. For the moment, I think I'll just have to make do with the Special Edition patches I already have.
OK, using SlotXF is now clear. Additional question: when switching form a to b gradually, will be the b-slot on top of a-slot?If not, then theoretically I can gradually switch from sVib to sVibEpxress (weird situation).
