NN-XT SAMPLER
17 4
Alt
This parameter is described on page 172.
Out
The NN-XT features eight separate stereo output pairs (see page 184). For each
zone, you can decide which of these output pairs to use. Thus, if you have cre-
ated a key map consisting of eight zones, each of these can have a separate ste-
reo output from NN-XT, and can then be routed to a separate mixer channel if
you so wish.
D To select which output a selected zone should be directed to, use
the knob marked “Out” in the sample parameter area.
The output pairs are indicated above the button.
! Note that you still have to route the outputs the way you want them
on NN-XT’s back panel. If you assign a zone to an output pair other
than 1-2 (which is the default) no connections or auto routing are
made. You have to do that manually.
A Stereo Example
One possible way of utilizing this would be to create a drum kit. In this case you
could load up to eight different stereo drum samples, assign them to separate
outputs, route each to a separate mixer channel and then use the mixer to set
levels and pan, add send effects etc.
Using a Stereo Output as Two Mono Outputs
If, on the other hand, you are using mono samples, you can use one stereo pair
as a two separate outputs, effectively giving you a total of 16 separate outputs.
1. Assign two zones to the same output.
2. Us the Pan control to pan one of the zones hard left and the other
hard right.
3. Connect each of the two outputs in the stereo pair to a separate
mixer channel.
Group Parameters
The group parameters are located at the top left on the remote editor panel.
These are parameters that in various ways are directly related to playing style.
Group parameters apply to a group, that is they are settings that are shared by
all zones in a group.
D To make adjustments to one group, select one or more zones that
belong to the group, and adjust the parameter on the front panel.
D To set several groups to the same value, select at least one zone in
each group you want to adjust, and adjust the parameter on the
front panel.
Key Poly
This setting determines the number of keys that you can play simultaneously (the
polyphony). The maximum number is 99 and the minimum is 1, in which case the
group will be monophonic.
Users of other samplers may want to note that the polyphony often means set-
ting the number of voices that should be able to play. The NN-XT is different in
this aspect, since the polyphony setting instead determines the number of keys,
regardless of how many voices each key plays.
