Any ideas on how to quickly fade sample tails on a MIDI MAX/MSP sample playback patch?

Discussion: Take a monophonic MIDI playback sampler. The playback samples are sustaining at full amplitude (e.g. legato strings), and do not loop. When a performer selects a new MIDI note (e.g. on a keyboard), the waveform of the currently sustaining sample will be cut off, and the new one will immediately begin playing. This causes an audible “glitch”.

Solution? I suppose I could use an ADSR, but I keep thinking there is a more elegant (and perhaps better sounding) solution. Cross-fading is another option. This must be a very common issue in sample playback, though (?).

Thank you for your consideration,

Bill

If you wanted the volume to go to 0 in 1 second, you would send a message box with 0 1000 to line~, which is connected to a *~ of the signal

I’d use 2 voices of polyphony: when a new note is played, it is played
on the “2nd” voice, and the “1st” one is fadeout (with an [adsr~] or
[line~] or whatever you like).
