Loading a Sample into an empty NN-19
1. Create an NN-19 device and select “Reset Device” from the context menu or from the Edit menu.
2. Click on the Browse Sample button.
This is located above the keyboard display to the left.
q When you browse samples, you can preview them before loading using the Play button in the Browser. If you
select the “Autoplay” function, the samples play back once automatically when selected.
3. Select a sample in the Browser and click the Load button in the Browser to load it.
D Alternatively, drag a sample file from the Browser and drop it on the NN-19 device in the rack.
The panel is dimmed in blue and a Sample Replace symbol appears in the center.
When you load the first sample into an empty NN-19, this will be assigned a key zone that spans the entire range of
the keyboard, and the default Init Patch settings will be used.
Below the keyboard, the range, sample name, root key, tuning, level and loop status of the current key zone is dis-
played, each with a corresponding knob.
The light blue strip above the keyboard indicates the currently selected key zone, which is in this case the full range of the
keyboard.
The inverted note on the keyboard indicates the “root key” of the sample. All samples contain a root key, tuning and
level setting. If NN-19 is empty, a sample will have its root key placed on the middle “C” (C3) key.
4. If desired, click on the keyboard to change the root key.
! You can audition a loaded sample patch or sample by holding down [Option] (Mac)/[Alt] (Windows) and click-
ing on a key in the Keyboard display. The mouse will take on the shape of a speaker symbol to indicate this.
