NN-XT SAMPLER

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
• Pitch 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.
The other output pairs are never automatically routed. If you wish to use any of the
other output pairs, you have to manually connect them to the desired device - typically
a mixer channel. The basics on Routing is described on page 26.
! Note that when you use any other output pair than the first, you also have
to route one or more zones to it if you want it to actually output sound,
since all zones by default are routed to outputs 1 & 2. How to route zones
to other outputs is described on page 276.
