This is a velocity threshold effect in which one sound (or sample) is triggered when a keyboard is played at low velocities, while another is triggered at high velocities with an abrupt transition between the two. Cross switching may also be triggered using a footswitch, a low-frequency oscillator (LFO), or other controller. This is different from cross fading, where the transition between two sounds or samples is smooth and gradual.
