About full and partial velocity ranges
You can see which zones have modified velocity ranges in the key map display:
• Zones with a full velocity range (0 - 127) are only shown with an outline.
• Zones with any other velocity range are shown as striped.
The top zone has a full velocity range (1-127), and the lower zone has a partial velocity range (any other range), which is indicated
by stripes
Sorting Zones by velocity values
The Edit menu and the NN-XT context menu contain an item called “Sort Zones by Velocity”. This option lets you au-
tomatically sort the selected zones in the display in descending order according to their set low or high velocity val-
ues.
When you invoke this option, the selected zones will be sorted from top to bottom starting with the one with the high-
est “Lo Vel “value.
Note however, that the sorting is done strictly on a
group basis. That is, only zones that belong to the same group can
be sorted in relation to each other.
If two zones have the same velocity range, they are sorted by key range.
Setting velocity range for a Zone
To set up a velocity range for a zone, proceed as follows:
1. Select one or more zones that you want to adjust.
2. Use the knobs marked “Lo Vel” and “High Vel” in the sample parameter area to set the desired low- and high
velocity values.
Adjusting the “Lo Vel” value for a zone.
“Lo vel” is the lowest velocity value that should trigger the sample in the zone - i.e. if a key is pressed so softly that the
velocity is lower than this value, the sample will not be played.
“Hi vel” is the highest velocity value that should trigger the sample, which means that if a key is pressed so hard that
the velocity is higher than this value, the sample will not be played.
About Crossfading Between Zones
At the bottom right in the sample parameter area are two knobs marked “Fade In” and “Fade Out”. These are primarily
used for setting up velocity crossfades for smooth transitions between overlapping zones. In order to set up cross-
fades you adjust the fade out and fade in values for the overlapping zones.
