Looping Samples
A sample, unlike the cycles of an oscillator for example, is a finite quantity. There is a
sample start and end. To get samples to play for as long as you press down the keys
on your keyboard, they need to be looped.
For this to work properly, you have to first set up two loop points which determine the
part of the sample that will be looped, and make this a part of the audio file. You can-
not set loop points in the NN-19, this has to be done in a sample editor.
All included samples already have set loop points (if needed).
For each sample (or key zone), you can select the following Loop modes by using the
Loop knob below the keyboard display:
D OFF
No looping is applied to the sample.
D FWD
The part between the loop points plays from start to end, then the cycle is re-
peated. This is the most common loop mode.
D FWD - BW
The part between the loop points plays from start to end, then from end to start
(backwards), and then repeats the cycle.
! For samples without any loop points, the whole sample will be looped.
About the Solo Sample Function
The Solo Sample button will allow you to listen to a selected sample over the entire
keyboard range.
D Select the key zone the sample is assigned to, and then activate Solo
Sample.
This can be useful for checking if the root key is set correctly or if the current range
is possible to extend etc.
! For Solo Sample to work, “Select Key Zone via MIDI” must be disabled!
