NN-19 SAMPLER477
In our experience, most people don’t use samplers only for playing sampled versions of “real” instruments. Very often,
single “stand alone” or single samples are used. Maybe you wish to use different
sounds for every key zone. Or you
could have complete chorus and verse vocals plus variations assigned to several “one note” key zones. Or use sam-
ples of different chords that play rhythmic figures to the same tempo, and use these to build song structures etc. The
possibilities are endless. When you use samples in this way, the keys on your keyboard that play the samples do not
necessarily correspond to pitch at all, the keys are simply used to trigger the samples.
About audio file formats
The audio file format support differs depending on which computer OS you are using.
The NN-19 can read audio files in the following formats:
•In Windows:
.wav, .aif, .mp3, .aac, .m4a and .wma.
•In macOS:
.wav, .aiff, .3g2, .3gp, .mp1, .mp2, .mp3, .mpeg, .mpa, .snd, .au, .sd2, .ac3, .aac, .adts, .amr, .caf, .m4a .m4r and .mp4.
• SoundFonts (.sf2)
SoundFonts are an open standard for wavetable synthesized audio, developed by E-mu systems and Creative
Technologies.
• REX file slices (.rx2, .rex, .rcy)
REX files are music loops created in the ReCycle program. The NN-19 lets you either load REX files as patches
or separate slices from REX files as individual samples.
• Any sample rate and practically any bit depth.
About the Sample Patch format
Reason’s Sample Patch format (.smp), is based on either Wave or AIFF files, but includes all the NN-19 associated
parameter settings as well.
• The audio files may be stereo or mono. Stereo audio files are shown with a “S” symbol beside its name in the
display.
Loading a Sample Patch
When you create a new NN-19 device, it is automatically loaded with a default patch. If you want to start from
scratch, with no samples loaded, you can select “Reset Device” from the context menu or Edit menu. For NN-19 to
produce sound, you need to load either a sample patch, or a sample.
A patch contains “everything”. All the samples, assigned key zones, and associated panel settings will be loaded.
Loading a sample patch is done using the Browser, just like in all other devices that use Patches.
1. Click the Browse Patch button on the front panel to set browse focus to the NN-19 device.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the NN-19 patch you wish to load, select it and click Load in the Browser.
D Alternatively, drag an NN-19 patch from the Browser and drop it on the NN-19 device in the rack.
The panel is dimmed in orange and the Patch Replace symbol appears in the center.
Loading REX Files as Patches
REX files are music loops created in the ReCycle program. In Reason, REX files are primarily used in the Dr. Octo
Rex loop player, but they can be used in the NN-19 as well. Possible extensions are “.rx2”, “.rcy” and “.rex”.
1. Click the Browse Patch button on the front panel to set browse focus to the NN-19 device.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the REX loop you wish to load, select it and click Load in the Browser.
