NN-XT SAMPLER473
Connections
On the back panel of NN-XT are a number of connectors. Many of these are CV/Gate related. Using CV/Gate is de-
scribed in the chapter “Routing Audio and CV”.
Sequencer Control
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play the NN-XT from another CV/Gate device (typically a
Matrix or a Redrum). The signal to the CV input controls the note pitch, while the signal to the Gate input delivers note
on/off along with velocity.
Modulation Input
These control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim pots), can modulate various NN-XT parameters from
other devices. These inputs can control the following parameters:
• Oscillator Pitch
• Filter Cutoff Frequency
• Filter Resonance
•LFO 1 Rate
•Master Volume
•Pan
• Modulation Wheel
• Pitch Wheel
Gate Input
These inputs can receive a CV signal to trigger the following envelopes:
• Amplitude Envelope
• Modulation Envelope
Note that connecting to these inputs will override the normal triggering of the envelopes. For example, if you connect
a Matrix Gate Out to the Gate In Amp Envelope, you would not trigger the amp envelope by playing notes, as this is
now controlled by the Matrix Gate Out. In addition you would only hear the Gate Out triggering the envelope for the
notes that you hold down.
Audio Output
There are 16 audio output jacks on the NN-XT’s back panel - eight separate stereo pairs . When you create a new
NN-XT device, the first output pair (1L & 2R) is auto-routed to the first available outputs in the I/O device.
The other output pairs are never automatically routed. If you wish to use any of the other output pairs, you have to
manually connect them to the desired device. The basics on Routing is described in “Routing Audio and CV”.
