slider question

[Leoaprilia2001]

I need to control volume of 2 zones tones with a single slider like a cross-fader: when the slider is up Brass is on and Strings is off and when is down Brass is off and Strings is on.

Both Brass and Strings are Melody Tones.

Can somebody help me pls?

In the 2 zones that you want to crossfade, enable your preferred slider under Edit>Stage Setting>Zone>Controller.  Disable the slider for the other 2 zones.  Next. set the 2 slider targets to Volume or Expression.  (Edit>Stage Setting>Common>Slider#>Target1 and 2)  Then, set the Min/Max slider ranges to oppose one another.   

 

Example:

 

Target 1            Target 2

Min     Max        Min   Max

 0        127        127     0

 

 Edit:  I forgot that we need to use 2 sliders when crossfading zones. Modify my above method by adding a second slider for the other zone and use only 1 target for each slider (Volume or Expression).  Keep using the opposing MIN/MAX values so you can get the crossfade effect.

thanks, unfortunately I dicovered from another post that this is possible only with Hex Layer tones...this doesn't apply to melody tones.

I apologize. Your right.  But it's still possible with melody tones.  I forgot that we need to use 2 sliders when crossfading zones. Modify my above method by adding a second slider for the other zone and use only 1 target for each slider (CC07 Volume or CC11 Expression).  Keep using the opposing MIN/MAX values for the 2 sliders so you can get the crossfade effect.
