Operation Manual

NN-XT SAMPLER
159
All of these knobs change the values of various parameters in the remote editor panel
and affect all loaded samples. Thus they can be used for quickly adjusting the overall
sound.
The knobs are bi-polar, which means that when they are centered, no parameter
change is applied. By turning them to the right you increase the corresponding value,
and by turning them to the left, you decrease the value.
Again, the movements of these parameters can be recorded as automation. This is
done just as with any other automation recording, see page 6.
The controls are, from left to right:
Filter
These two knobs each control a parameter of the filter (see page 179). Note that the
filter must be on for these to have any effect.
D Frequency
This changes the cutoff frequency of the filter.
D Resonance
This changes the resonance parameter of the filter, meaning - the filter character-
istic, or quality.
Amp Envelope
These three knobs control the Amplitude Envelope (see page 181) in the following
way:
D Attack
This changes the Attack value of the Amplitude Envelope. That is, how long it
should take for the sound to reach full level after you press a key on your keyboard.
D Decay
This changes the Decay value of the Amplitude Envelope. Decay determines how
long it should take for the sound to go back to the sustain level after it has reached
full value (see page 181) and the key that triggered the sound is still being
pressed.
D Release
This changes the Release value of the Amplitude Envelope. Release works just like
Decay with the exception that it determines how long it should take for the sound
to become silent after the key has been released.
Mod Envelope
This knob controls the Decay value of the Modulation Envelope (see page 180).
Also see above for a brief description of Decay.
Master Volume
This controls the main volume out from the NN-XT. Turn the knob to the right to in-
crease the volume.
Overview of the Remote
Editor panel
It is in the Remote Editor Panel that the main NN-XT action is going on, especially if
you’re creating your own patches. The remote editor is dominated by the key map dis-
play, and this is also the part on which we will concentrate to begin with.
The Key Map display
The key map display consists of a number of separate areas that let you do different
things. To help you navigate the key map display, these areas are described below.
The Info area
This displays the following information about the currently selected sample: Sample
rate, mono/stereo information, bit resolution and file size.
The Sample area
This area displays the names of the samples in each zone. It also allows you to change
the order of the zones by clicking and dragging them up and down.
The Group area
This area does not show any information. However, by clicking in it, you can instantly
select all the zones that belong to a certain group. See page 166 for information on
how to create groups.
The Keyboard area
Aside from the fact that is a guideline for setting up key ranges, it is also used for set-
ting the root keys of, and auditioning loaded samples. See page 170 and page 165
respectively for more information.
