NN-19 SAMPLER
141
If all samples originate from different sources, and all or most of
them are pitched slightly different (a not uncommon sampling sce-
nario), you could first tune them so that they all match each other,
and then, if necessary, use the Sample Pitch controls in the Osc
section to tune them globally to the “song” you wish to use the
samples in.
D Note that if all the samples were slightly out of tune by the same
amount in relation to the song you intend to use the samples in, it
would be much simpler to use the Sample Pitch controls in the Osc
section directly.
Looping Samples
A sample, unlike the cycles of an oscillator for example, is a finite quantity. There
is a sample start and end. To get samples to play for as long as you press down
the keys on your keyboard, they need to be looped.
For this to work properly, you have to first set up two loop points which deter-
mine the part of the sample that will be looped, and make this a part of the audio
file. You cannot set loop points in the NN-19, this has to be done in a sample ed-
itor.
All included samples already have set loop points (if needed).
For each sample (or key zone), you can select the following Loop modes by us-
ing the Loop knob below the keyboard display:
D OFF
No looping is applied to the sample.
D FWD
The part between the loop points plays from start to end, then the cycle is re-
peated. This is the most common loop mode.
D FWD - BW
The part between the loop points plays from start to end, then from end to
start (backwards), and then repeats the cycle.
! For samples without any loop points, the whole sample will be
looped.
About the Solo Sample Function
The Solo Sample button will allow you to listen to a selected sample over the en-
tire keyboard range.
D Select the key zone the sample is assigned to, and then activate
Solo Sample.
This can be useful for checking if the root key is set correctly or if the current
range is possible to extend etc.
! For Solo Sample to work, “Select Key Zone via MIDI” must be dis-
abled!
