NN-XT SAMPLER
256
Introduction
Features
The basic functions of the NN-XT are very similar to those of its sampler companion in
the Reason rack - the NN-19. Just like the NN-19, NN-XT lets you load samples and
create multi-sample patches by mapping samples across the keyboard. The sound
can then be modified by a comprehensive set of synth-type parameters. There are
however some major differences between the two. The NN-XT has:
D Support for SoundFonts.
Presets and samples from SoundFont banks can be loaded and used in the NN-
XT (see page 257).
D 8 stereo output pairs.
This makes it possible to route different samples to different mixer channels for in-
dividual effect processing (see page 276).
D The possibility to create layered sounds.
This is done by mapping several samples across the same keyboard range (see
page 272).
D The possibility to create sounds that only play over certain velocity
ranges, velocity switched key maps and velocity crossfading.
See page 273.
D Key maps with individual synth parameter settings for each sample.
See page 277.
Even though the NN-XT is a more advanced sample player than NN-19, it should not
be considered as a successor to the NN-19, but rather as a complement to it. The
NN-19 will for example probably still be the sampler of choice for those of you who
want to be able to quickly load a couple of samples and start playing, since that par-
ticular aspect takes a little more doing with the NN-XT.
Panel Overview
The Main Panel
When the NN-XT is added to the rack, you will initially only see the main panel.
The NN-XT main panel.
The main panel is where you load complete sample patches. It also contains the “glo-
bal controls”. These are controls that affect and modify the sound of entire patches
rather than the individual key zones.
The Remote Editor panel
To show/hide the remote editor panel, use the fold/unfold arrow at the bottom left.
The remote editor panel is where you load individual samples, create key maps, mod-
ify the sound of the samples with synth parameters etc.
! The main panel of the NN-XT can be folded like any other Reason device.
Note that folding the main panel will also fold the remote editor regard-
less of its current state.
