Loading complete Patches and REX files
As previously alluded, you can load complete sample patches as well as individual samples into the NN-XT.
• A patch is a complete “sound package”. It contains information about all the samples used, assigned key
zones, associated panel settings etc. Loading a sample patch is done by using the patch browser on the main
panel, and works in the same way as with any other Reason device.
The Browse Patch button on the main panel.
For general instructions on how to load and save patches, please see “Loading patches” and “Saving patches”.
• Loading separate samples is done in a similar way, but via the sample browser on the remote editor panel. If
you load samples, map them across keyboard ranges and set up the sound the way you want it, you can save
your settings as a Patch for easy access later.
The Browse Sample button on the remote editor.
More about loading samples later in this chapter.
Loading NN-XT Patches
NN-XT Patches are patches made specifically for the NN-XT. Reason ships with a large number of NN-XT Patches,
some in the Factory Sound Bank but most in the Orkester Sound Bank. NN-XT Patches have the extension “.sxt”.
1. Click the Browse Patch button on the front panel to set browse focus to the NN-XT device.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the NN-XT patch you wish to load, select it and click Load in the Browser.
D Alternatively, drag an NN-XT patch from the Browser and drop it on the NN-XT device in the rack.
The panel is dimmed in orange and the Patch Replace symbol appears in the center.
Loading NN-19 Patches
NN-19 Patches have the extension “.smp”. Note that when loading NN-19 patches into the NN-XT, some parameters
will not be applicable since the NN-19 and the NN-XT to some extent differ from each other in terms of controls. In
these cases, the concerned parameters will either be ignored by the NN-XT or mapped to the most equivalent con-
trol.
1. Click the Browse Patch button on the front panel to set browse focus to the NN-XT device.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the NN-19 patch you wish to load, select it and click Load in the Browser.
