NN-XT SAMPLER
276
Out
The NN-XT features eight separate stereo output pairs (see page 284). For each
zone, you can decide which of these output pairs to use. Thus, if you have created a
key map consisting of eight zones, each of these can have a separate stereo 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 chan-
nel.
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 be-
long 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 po-
lyphony). 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 setting 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.
The Group Mono button
The Group Mono button beside the Key Poly section can be used to quickly set a
group to play monophonically regardless of the polyphony setting. E.g. if you have a
group with open and closed hi hats, you can switch this on so that an open hi hat is
automatically muted when you play a closed hi hat.
Group Mono overrides the Key Poly setting - except when playing the same note.
So you can play your open hihat repeatedly without the sound cutting itself off. When
you play the closed hihat, this cuts off the open hihat.
Note that activating this button is not the same as setting polyphony to 1. E.g., it can
not be used for Legato or mono Retrig (see below).
