There is a difference between "switching" and "fading". The main 
difference is that "switching" means that "this sample(s) are 
available when you do something" whereas "fading" means "this 
sample(s) sounds as you do something".

Fading is real time, whereas switching is "setup" time (if you can 
call it that).

You'll notice in EXS24 that switching is quite versatile (to the 
sample level), whereas fading is global, so it's much more 
restrictive. Kontakt lifts those restrictions.

Is this your desire, for example:

You hit a key, and an ambulance siren, a loud buzzer, and a sinewave 
are all playing at once, but you only hear the ambulence. As the LFO 
plays through, the siren fades out and the buzzer fades in, and then 
the buzzer fades out and the sinewave fades in, then the sincewave 
fades out and the siren fades in, and on and on. Is that what you are after?
