NN-XT SAMPLER
184
Connections
On the back panel of NN-XT are a number of connectors. Many of these are CV/
Gate related. Using CV/Gate is described in the chapter “Routing Audio and
CV”.
Sequencer Control
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play the NN-XT from
another CV/Gate device (typically a Matrix or a Redrum). The signal to the CV in-
put controls the note pitch, while the signal to the Gate input delivers note on/off
along with velocity.
Modulation Input
These control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim pots), can mod-
ulate various NN-XT parameters from other devices. These inputs can control
the following parameters:
• Oscillator Pitch
• Filter Cutoff Frequency
• Filter Resonance
• LFO 1 Rate
• Master Volume
• Pan
• Modulation Wheel
Gate Input
These inputs can receive a CV signal to trigger the following envelopes:
• Amplitude Envelope
• Modulation Envelope
Note that connecting to these inputs will override the normal triggering
of the envelopes. For example, if you connect a Matrix Gate Out to the
Gate In Amp Envelope, you would not trigger the amp envelope by
playing notes, as this is now controlled by the Matrix Gate Out. In addi-
tion you would only hear the Gate Out triggering the envelope for the
notes that you hold down.
Audio Output
There are 16 audio output jacks on the NN-XT’s back panel - eight separate ste-
reo pairs. When you create a new NN-XT device, the first output pair (1L & 2R)
is auto-routed to the first available channel on the audio mixer.
The other output pairs are never automatically routed. If you wish to use any of
the other output pairs, you have to manually connect them to the desired device
- typically a mixer channel. The basics on Routing is described in the chapter
“Managing the Rack” in the Getting Started book.
! Note that when you use any other output pair than the first, you also
have to route one or more zones to it if you want it to actually out-
put sound, since all zones by default are routed to outputs 1 & 2.
How to route zones to other outputs is described on page 174.
