Operation Manual

NN-XT SAMPLER
168
In the example in the picture above, the zone in the middle has edit focus. Its left han-
dle (the low key) is placed differently from any of the other zones, but all of the zones
have the same high key setting. This means that...
• Dragging the left handle will only move the low key position of the zone with edit
focus (the pictures show before and after dragging).
• Dragging the right handle will move the high key position for all of the zones at the
same time, since they all have the same high key position (again, the picture shows
before and after dragging).
Moving Zones by Dragging the Zone Boxes
You can also move entire zones horizontally, thereby changing their key ranges.
1. Select all the zones you want to move.
You can move several zones simultaneously.
2. Point on any of the selected zones, and press the mouse button.
3. Drag left/right and release the mouse button.
Dragging multiple zones.
Moving Zones by Dragging in the Tab Bar
You can also move a zone by dragging anywhere between the zone boundary handles
on the tab bar. When you do, the surrounding zones will be affected just as when
dragging the boundary handles in the tab bar (see above).
This can be used to “slide” a zone in relation to its surrounding zones, as the picture
example below shows (before and after dragging).
About the Lock Root Keys function
Normally, when you move zones (as described above), the root note of the zone(s)
you move will change accordingly. In other words, the zone(s) will be transposed. If
this is not desired, you can activate the Lock Root Keys function prior to moving the
zone(s) by clicking on the button above the key map display.
Moving zones without changing their root notes can be used for some interesting ef-
fects, since it will completely change the timbre of the sample(s) as they are played
back.
