NN-19 SAMPLER
152
Voice Spread
This parameter can be used to control the stereo (pan) position of voices. The Spread
knob determines the intensity of the panning. If this is set to “0”, no panning will take
place. The following pan modes can be selected:
Low Bandwidth
This will remove some high frequency content from the sound, but often this is not no-
ticeable (this is especially true if you have “filtered down” samples). Activating this
mode will save you some extra computer power, if needed.
Controller Section
NN-19 can receive common MIDI controller messages, and route these to various pa-
rameters. The following MIDI messages can be received:
• Aftertouch (Channel Pressure)
• Expression Pedal
• Breath Control
If your MIDI keyboard is capable of sending Aftertouch messages, or if you have ac-
cess to an Expression Pedal or a Breath controller, you can use these to modulate
NN-19 parameters. The “Source” selector switch determines which of these mes-
sage-types should be received.
These messages can then be assigned to control the following parameters:
Connections
On the back panel of the NN-19 you will find the connectors, which are mostly CV/
Gate related.
Audio Outputs
These are the main left and right audio outputs. When you create a new NN-19 de-
vice, these are auto-routed to the first available channel on the audio mixer.
Mono Sequencer Control
These are the main CV/Gate inputs. CV controls the note pitch. Gate inputs trigger
note on/off values plus a level, which can be likened to a velocity value. If you want to
control the NN-19 from a Matrix Pattern Sequencer for example, you would normally
use these inputs. The inputs are “mono”, i.e. they control one voice in the sampler.
Modulation Inputs
! Remember that CV connections will not be stored in the sample patch,
even if the connections are to/from the same NN-19 device!
These control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim pots), can modulate
various NN-19 parameters from other devices, or from the modulation outputs of the
same NN-19 device. These inputs can control the following parameters:
• Osc (sample) Pitch
• Filter Cutoff
• Filter Resonance
• Amp Level
• Mod Wheel
Modulation Outputs
The Modulation outputs can be used to voltage control other devices, or other param-
eters in the same NN-19 device. The Modulation Outputs are:
• Filter Envelope
• LFO
|Mode |Description
Key This will shift the pan position gradually from left to right the higher up on
the keyboard you play.
Key 2 This will shift the pan position from left to right in 8 steps (1/2 octave) for
each consecutive higher note you play, and then repeat the cycle.
Jump This will alternate the pan position from left to right for each note played.
F. Freq This sets external modulation control of the filter frequency parameter. A
positive value will increase the frequency with higher external modulation
values. Negative values invert this relationship.
LFO 1 This sets external modulation control of the LFO Amount parameter. A
positive value will increase the LFO amount with higher external modula-
tion values. Negative values invert this relationship.
Amp This let’s you control the overall volume of the sound with external modu-
lation. If a positive value is set, the volume will increase with higher exter-
nal modulation values. A negative value inverts this relationship.
