Redrum:
To use this menu item to load a new drum sound into Redrum, proceed as follows:
1. Select a channel in the drum machine, by clicking its Select button.
2. Select Browse Samples.
The Redrum sample browser opens.
3. Navigate to a location containing any of the sample formats listed above, select one and click Open.
NN19:
This menu item can also be used to add a sample to a key zone in a key map in the NN19 sampler.
1. Select a key zone.
This can be empty, or contain a sample - it doesn’t matter for now.
2. Use the browser to add one or several (see below) sample(s).
The following will happen:
D If the zone contained a sample prior to loading, this will be replaced, both in the zone and in the sample mem-
ory, unless the sample was also used by another key zone.
D If you loaded several samples, one of the samples (the sample that was selected furthest down in the Browser
list) will be loaded into the key zone, and the other samples will be loaded into the sample memory.
NN-XT:
This menu item is used for adding one or more sample(s) to a key zone in the NN-XT:
1. Make sure the Remote Editor panel is folded out, by clicking the small arrow in the bottom left corner.
If the remote editor panel is folded in, you will only be able to browse for NN-XT patches .
2. Use the sample browser to add one or several sample(s).
The sample(s) will be placed in separate zones and mapped across the same key range.
D If a zone is selected when you browse for samples, the sample will be loaded into that zone, replacing any pre-
vious sample.
Replacing samples this way is only possible when you load a single sample.
Automap Samples
This menu item applies to the NN19 Sampler. If you have a number of samples that belong together but haven’t been
mapped to key zones, you can use the “Automap Samples” function. This is used in the following way:
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. Select Automap Samples from the Edit menu.
Now the samples currently in memory will be arranged automatically so that:
• Each sample will be placed correctly according to its root note, and will be tuned according to the information
in the sample file.
Most audio editing programs can save root key information as part of the file.
• Each sample will occupy half the note range to the next sample’s root note.
The root key will always be in the middle of each zone, with the zone extending both down and up in relation to the
root position. Hence, no key zone high or low limits have to be manually set!
