Automap Zones
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. The automap function can be used
as a quick way of creating a key map, or as a good starting point for further adjust-
ments of a key map.
Automap works under the assumption that you intend to create a key map for a com-
plete instrument, for example a number of samples of a piano, all at different pitches.
1. Load the samples you want to Automap.
Now you have three options:
• Trust that the root note information in the files is already correct.
• Manually adjust the root notes (and tuning) for all the samples.
• Use “Set Root Notes from Pitch Detection” to automatically set up the root notes.
2. Select all zones you want to automap.
3. Select Automap Zones.
All the selected zones will now be arranged automatically in the following way:
D The zones will be sorted in the display (from top to bottom - lowest key
first) according to the root keys.
D The zones will be assigned key ranges according to the root keys.
The key ranges are set up so that the split between two zones is exactly in the mid-
dle between the zones’ root notes. If two zones have the same root key they will be
assigned the same key range.
Create Velocity Crossfades
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This is used for automatically setting
up velocity crossfades for smooth transitions between overlapping zones. To set up
crossfades, you adjust the fade out and fade in values for the overlapping zones.
An example:
D Two zones are both set to play in the full velocity range of 1-127.
D Zone 1 has a fade out value of 40.
This means that this zone will play at full level with velocity values below 40, With
higher velocity values, it will gradually fade out.
D Zone 2 has a fade in value of 80.
This has the effect that as you play velocity values up to 80, this zone will gradually
fade in. With velocity values above 80, it will play at full level.
Instead of manually setting up a crossfade, you can let NN-XT do it for you. Proceed
as follows:
1. Set up the zones so that their velocity ranges overlap, as desired.
2. Select the zones.
You can select as many zones as you wish, not just one pair of overlapping zones.
3. Select “Create Velocity Crossfades”.
NN-XT will analyze the overlapping zones and automatically set up what it deems
to be appropriate fade in and fade out values for the zones.
Note the following important points:
D This operation will not work if both zones have full velocity ranges.
At least one of the zones must have a partial velocity range (see page 172).
D This operation will not work if the zones are completely overlapping.
Combine/Uncombine
D By selecting several devices in the rack and selecting “Combine”, a Com-
binator device will be created containing the selected devices.
D By selecting the Combinator (or one or several devices contained in a
Combinator) and then selecting “Uncombine” will remove the devices
from the Combinator and into the rack.
In case the whole Combinator is selected, this will be removed and the devices it
contains will be moved into the rack.
! See the Combinator chapter in the Operation Manual for details.
Edit Keyboard Control Mapping
This menu command is available when Keyboard Control Edit Mode is selected. It will
open a dialog where you can assign a Keyboard Control for a selected parameter.
Clear Keyboard Control Mapping
This menu command is available when Keyboard Control Edit Mode is selected. It will
remove the Keyboard Control mapping for a selected assigned parameter.
Clear All Keyboard Control Mappings for Device
This menu command is available when Keyboard Control Edit Mode is selected. It re-
moves all keyboard mapping you have set up for the selected device.
Edit Remote Override Mapping...
This menu command is available when Remote Override Edit Mode has been acti-
vated on the Options menu. It opens a dialog where you can assign a Remote Over-
ride for the selected parameter.
Clear Remote Override Mapping
This menu command is available when Remote Override Edit Mode has been acti-
vated on the Options menu. It will remove the Remote Override mapping for a se-
lected assigned parameter.
Clear All Remote Override Mappings for Device
This menu command is available when Remote Override Edit Mode has been acti-
vated on the Options menu. It removes all Remote Override mapping you have set up
for the selected device.
