Sort Zones by Note

This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This option lets you automati-

cally sort the selected zones within a Group in descending order according to

their key ranges.

When you invoke this option, the selected zones will be sorted from top to bot-

tom in the display starting with the one with the lowest range.

If two or more zones have the same key range, they are instead sorted by veloc-

ity range.

Sort Zones by Velocity

This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This option lets you automati-

cally sort the selected zones within a Group in descending order according to

their set low or high velocity values.

When you invoke this option, the selected zones will be sorted from top to bot-

tom starting with the one with the highest “Lo Vel “value.

If two or more zones have the same velocity range, they are instead sorted by

key range.

Group Selected Zones

This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. It lets you put any number of se-

lected zones together in a group.

Grouping zones is good for two things:

To allow you to quickly select a number of zones that “belong to-

gether.”

For example if you have created a layered sound consisting of piano and

strings, you could put all string samples in one group and all piano samples

in one group. Then you can quickly select all piano samples and make an ad-

justment to them by trimming a parameter.

To group zones that need to share group settings together.

For example, you may want to set a group to legato and monophonic mode

and add some portamento so that you can play a part where you slide be-

tween notes.

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the zones you want to group together.

The zones don’t have to be contiguous in order to be grouped. Regardless

of their original positions in the samples column, they will all be put together

in succession.

2. Select “Group Selected Zones”.

The zones are grouped.

Note that there is always at least one group, since the zones you create are al-

ways grouped together by default.

Set Root Notes from Pitch Detection

This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. All instrument sounds have an

inherent pitch. When playing a sample of such a sound on the keyboard, the

keys you play must correspond to that pitch. For example, you may have re-

corded a piano playing the key “C3”. When you map this onto the NN-XT key

map, you must set things up so that the sampler plays back the sample at origi-

nal pitch when you press the key C3, and this is done by adjusting the root note.

The NN-XT features a pitch detection function to help you set the root keys of

loaded samples. This is useful if you for example load a sample that you haven’t

recorded yourself, and you don’t have any information about its original pitch.

Proceed as follows:

1. Select all the zones you want to be subject to pitch detection.

2. Select “Set Root Notes from Pitch Detection”.

The samples in all the selected zones will now be analyzed, and the detected

root keys will automatically be set for you.

! Note that for this to work properly, the samples must have some

form of perceivable pitch. If it is sampled speech, or a snare drum

for example, it probably doesn’t have any discernible pitch.

Automap Zones

This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. The automap function can be

used as a quick way of creating a key map, or as a good starting point for further

adjustments of a key map.

Automap works under the assumption that you intend to create a key map for a

complete instrument, for example a number of samples of a piano, all at different

pitches.

1. Load the samples you want to Automap.

Now you have three options:

• Trust that the root note information in the files is already correct.

• Manually adjust the root notes (and tuning) for all the samples.

• Use “Set Root Notes from Pitch Detection” to automatically set up the root

notes.

2. Select all zones you want to automap.

3. Select Automap Zones.

All the selected zones will now be arranged automatically in the following way:

The zones will be sorted in the display (from top to bottom - lowest

key first) according to the root keys.
