NN-XT SAMPLER
183
Waveform (LFO 1 only)
Here, you select which type of waveform should be used for modulating the des-
tination parameters.
Click the button to switch between the following waveforms:
! LFO 2 always uses a triangle waveform.
Key Sync (LFO 1 only)
By activating key sync, you “force” the LFO to restart its modulation cycle each
time a key is pressed.
! Note that LFO 2 always uses Key Sync.
Destinations for LFO 1
The following parameters can be modulated by LFO 1:
D Pitch
This will make the LFO modulate the pitch, for vibrato, trills, etc. It can be set
to -2400 – 0 – 2400 cents which equals 4 octaves. The set pitch will
change up and down by this amount, with each modulation cycle. Turning
the knob to the right will make the modulation cycle start above the set pitch,
while turning it to the left will invert the cycle. Keeping this in the middle po-
sition means that the pitch will not be affected by the LFO.
D Filter
This will make the LFO modulate the cutoff frequency of the Filter, for auto-
wah effects, etc. The positive/negative effect is the same as for pitch.
D Level
This will make the LFO modulate NN-XT’s output level, for tremolo effects,
etc. The positive/negative effect is the same as for pitch.
Destinations for LFO 2
The following parameters can be modulated by LFO 2:
D Pan
This makes the LFO modulate the pan position of a zone. The sound will
move back and forth in the stereo field. Turning the knob to the left makes
the sound move from left to right, and turning it to the right thus makes it
move from right to left. The middle position provides no modulation at all.
D Pitch
Just like for LFO 1 (see above), this makes LFO 2 modulate the pitch. The
range is also the same as for LFO 1.
| Waveform | Description
Triangle This is a smooth waveform, suitable for normal vibrato.
Inverted Sawtooth This produces a “ramp up” cycle. If applied to an oscilla-
tor’s frequency, the pitch would sweep up, after which the
cycle immediately starts over.
Sawtooth This produces a “ramp down” cycle, the same as above
but inverted.
Square This produces cycles that abruptly change between two
values, usable for trills etc.
Random Produces random stepped modulation to the destination.
Some vintage analog synths called this feature “sample &
hold”.
Soft Random The same as above, but with smooth modulation.
