NN-XT SAMPLER
175
Play Mode
By using this knob you can select one of the following loop modes for each zone:
D FW
The sample in the zone will play only once, without looping.
D FW-LOOP
The sample will play from the sample start point to the loop end point, jump back
to the loop start point and then loop infinitely between the start and end loop
points. This is the most common loop mode.
D FW - BW
The sample will play from the sample start point to the loop end point, then from
the loop end point to the loop start point (backwards), and then loop infinitely for-
wards-backwards between the start and end loop points.
D FW-SUS
This works like FW-LOOP with the exception that it will only loop as long as the
key is held down. As you release the key, the sample will play to the absolute end
of the sample, that is beyond the boundaries of the loop.
This means that the sound may have a short natural release even if the release pa-
rameter is raised to a high value (which is not true for “FW-LOOP”, where the re-
lease parameter always controls the length of the sound after the key is released).
D BW
The sample will play only once - from the end to the beginning - without looping.
Lo Key and Hi Key
These parameters are described on page 167.
Lo Vel and Hi Vel
These parameters are described on page 171.
Fade In and Fade Out
These parameters are described on page 172.
Alt
This parameter is described on page 174.
Out
The NN-XT features eight separate stereo output pairs (see page 183). For each
zone, you can decide which of these output pairs to use. Thus, if you have created a
key map consisting of eight zones, each of these can have a separate stereo output
from NN-XT, and can then be routed to a separate mixer channel if you so wish.
D To select which output a selected zone should be directed to, use the
knob marked “Out” in the sample parameter area.
The output pairs are indicated above the button.
! Note that you still have to route the outputs the way you want them on
NN-XT’s back panel. If you assign a zone to an output pair other than 1-2
(which is the default) no connections or auto routing are made. You have
to do that manually.
A Stereo Example
One possible way of utilizing this would be to create a drum kit. In this case you could
load up to eight different stereo drum samples, assign them to separate outputs, route
each to a separate mixer channel and then use the mixer to set levels and pan, add
send effects etc.
Using a Stereo Output as Two Mono Outputs
If, on the other hand, you are using mono samples, you can use one stereo pair as a
two separate outputs, effectively giving you a total of 16 separate outputs.
1. Assign two zones to the same output.
2. Us the Pan control to pan one of the zones hard left and the other hard right.
3. Connect each of the two outputs in the stereo pair to a separate mixer chan-
nel.
