What Does the KX1000 Fade Control Do?

The KX1000 Fade control shapes the end of the generated kick so the tail can stop smoothly without clicks or unnecessary overlap.
- Play the kick in context.
- Move the control through an exaggerated range to learn the effect.
- Return to the smallest setting that serves the track.
- Level-match when the control changes apparent loudness.
