Mapping Samples Without Root Key or Tuning Information
Some samples may not have any information about root key or tuning stored in the file
(nor indicated in the file name). If this is the case, you can still make use of the Au-
tomap function:
1. Select all samples that belong together and load them in one go, using the
sample browser.
One of the samples will be loaded to a key zone spanning the whole range, and
the rest will reside in the sample memory.
2. Manually set the root key, and adjust the tune knob if the sample needs pitch
fine-tuning.
Without any information stored in the file, or if the file name doesn’t indicate the
root key, you will have to use your ears for this step. Play the sample across differ-
ent areas of the keyboard and listen to where it sounds the most “natural”. As long
as you are in the general area of the correct root key, the result should be o.k. You
can always adjust this later.
3. Select the next sample using the Sample knob, and repeat the previous step.
Proceed like this until you have set a root key for all the samples.
4. Select “Automap Samples” from the edit menu.
The samples will be automatically mapped according to their set root key posi-
tions!
Delete Sample/Remove Sample
Redrum
D To remove a sample from a Redrum drum machine, select its drum sound
channel and then select “Delete Sample” from the Edit menu.
The sample is removed from the drum sound channel and from sample memory.
NN-I9
D To remove a sample from an NN-19 Sampler’s memory, select the zone it
belongs to, and then select “Delete Sample” from the Edit menu.
The sample is removed from the zone and from sample memory.
NN-XT
D To remove a sample from an NN-XT Sampler’s memory, select the zone it
belongs to, and then select “Remove Samples” from the Edit menu.
The sample is removed from the zone and from sample memory. The zone still re-
mains though. To delete a zone, you must use the option “Delete Zones”.
Delete Unused Samples
This menu item is used for the NN-19 Sampler. When you select it, all samples that
are not assigned to a key zone are deleted from sampler memory.
This way you can make sure that you are not wasting any sample memory for samples
that are not actually used.
Split Key Zone
This menu item is used for the NN-19 Sampler. It splits the currently selected key
zone in the middle. The new zone is the upper half of the split, and is empty. The divid-
ing point has a “handle” above it.
Delete Key Zone
This menu item is used for the NN-19 Sampler. It deletes the currently selected key
zone from the key map.
Copy REX Loop to Track
This menu item is used for the Dr. Rex loop player device. To be able to make your
REX loop start at the same time as other sequencer or pattern data, you “convert” the
slices in the loop to notes in the sequencer:
1. Select a sequencer track connected to the Dr.Rex device.
2. Set the left and right locators to encompass the section you want to fill with
REX notes.
You may want to make sure that this area doesn’t contain any notes already, to
avoid confusion.
3. Select the Dr. Rex player, so that it has focus.
4. Pull down the Edit menu and select “Copy REX Loop to Track”.
Now, the program will create a note for each slice, positioned according to the tim-
ing of the slices. The notes will be pitched in semitone steps, with the first note on
C1, the second on C#1 and so on, with one pitch for each slice. If the area be-
tween the locators is longer than the loop length, the loop notes will be repeated
to fill out the loop.
Now you can reorder, overdub onto, and otherwise edit the note data, using the REX
or Key edit lanes in the sequencer.
