NN-XT SAMPLER
183
Key Sync (LFO 1 only)
By activating key sync, you “force” the LFO to restart its modulation cycle each time a
key is pressed.
! Note that LFO 2 always uses Key Sync.
Destinations for LFO 1
The following parameters can be modulated by LFO 1:
D Pitch
This will make the LFO modulate the pitch, for vibrato, trills, etc. It can be set to -
2400 – 0 – 2400 cents which equals 4 octaves. The set pitch will change up and
down by this amount, with each modulation cycle. Turning the knob to the right will
make the modulation cycle start above the set pitch, while turning it to the left will
invert the cycle. Keeping this in the middle position means that the pitch will not be
affected by the LFO.
D Filter
This will make the LFO modulate the cutoff frequency of the Filter, for auto-wah ef-
fects, etc. The positive/negative effect is the same as for pitch.
D Level
This will make the LFO modulate NN-XT’s output level, for tremolo effects, etc. The
positive/negative effect is the same as for pitch.
Destinations for LFO 2
The following parameters can be modulated by LFO 2:
D Pan
This makes the LFO modulate the pan position of a zone. The sound will move
back and forth in the stereo field. Turning the knob to the left makes the sound
move from left to right, and turning it to the right thus makes it move from right to
left. The middle position provides no modulation at all.
D Pitch
Just like for LFO 1 (see above), this makes LFO 2 modulate the pitch. The range is
also the same as for LFO 1.
Connections
On the back panel of NN-XT are a number of connectors. Many of these are CV/Gate
related. Using CV/Gate is described in the chapter “Routing Audio and CV”.
Sequencer Control
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play the NN-XT from another
CV/Gate device (typically a Matrix or a Redrum). The signal to the CV input controls
the note pitch, while the signal to the Gate input delivers note on/off along with veloc-
ity.
Modulation Input
These control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim pots), can modulate
various NN-XT parameters from other devices. These inputs can control the following
parameters:
• Oscillator Pitch
• Filter Cutoff Frequency
• Filter Resonance
• LFO 1 Rate
• Master Volume
• Pan
• Modulation Wheel
Gate Input
These inputs can receive a CV signal to trigger the following envelopes:
• Amplitude Envelope
• Modulation Envelope
Note that connecting to these inputs will override the normal triggering of the enve-
lopes. For example, if you connect a Matrix Gate Out to the Gate In Amp Envelope,
you would not trigger the amp envelope by playing notes, as this is now controlled by
the Matrix Gate Out. In addition you would only hear the Gate Out triggering the en-
velope for the notes that you hold down.
Audio Output
There are 16 audio output jacks on the NN-XT’s back panel - eight separate stereo
pairs. When you create a new NN-XT device, the first output pair (1L & 2R) is auto-
routed to the first available channel on the audio mixer.
