High Quality Interpolation
This switch turns High Quality Interpolation on and off. When it is activated, the
sample pitch is calculated using a more advanced interpolation algorithm. This
results in better audio quality, especially for samples with a lot of high frequency
content.
• High Quality Interpolation uses more computer power however - so if you
don’t need it, it’s a good idea to turn it off! Listen to the sounds in a context
and determine whether you think this setting makes any difference.
• If you are using a Macintosh with a G4 (Altivec) processor, High Quality In-
terpolation is always activated, regardless of the state of this button.
Global Controls
All of these knobs change the values of various parameters in the remote editor
panel and affect all loaded samples. Thus they can be used for quickly adjusting
the overall sound.
The knobs are bi-polar, which means that when they are centered, no parameter
change is applied. By turning them to the right you increase the corresponding
value, and by turning them to the left, you decrease the value.
Again, the movements of these parameters can be recorded as automation. This
is done just as with any other automation recording, see page 8.
The controls are, from left to right:
Filter
These two knobs each control a parameter of the filter (see page 179). Note that
the filter must be on for these to have any effect.
D Frequency
This changes the cutoff frequency of the filter.
D Resonance
This changes the resonance parameter of the filter, meaning - the filter char-
acteristic, or quality.
Amp Envelope
These three knobs control the Amplitude Envelope (see page 181) in the follow-
ing way:
D Attack
This changes the Attack value of the Amplitude Envelope. That is, how long
it should take for the sound to reach full level after you press a key on your
keyboard.
D Decay
This changes the Decay value of the Amplitude Envelope. Decay determines
how long it should take for the sound to go back to the sustain level after it
has reached full value (see page 181) and the key that triggered the sound
is still being pressed.
D Release
This changes the Release value of the Amplitude Envelope. Release works
just like Decay with the exception that it determines how long it should take
for the sound to become silent after the key has been released.
Mod Envelope
This knob controls the Decay value of the Modulation Envelope (see page
180). Also see above for a brief description of Decay.
Master Volume
This controls the main volume out from the NN-XT. Turn the knob to the right to
increase the volume.
