NN-19 SAMPLER

247

Looping Samples

A sample, unlike the cycles of an oscillator for example, is a finite quantity. There is a

sample start and end. To get samples to play for as long as you press down the keys

on your keyboard, they need to be looped.

For this to work properly, you have to first set up two loop points which determine the

part of the sample that will be looped, and make this a part of the audio file. You can-

not set loop points in the NN-19, this has to be done in a sample editor.

All included samples already have set loop points (if needed).

For each sample (or key zone), you can select the following Loop modes by using the

Loop knob below the keyboard display:

D OFF

No looping is applied to the sample.

D FWD

The part between the loop points plays from start to end, then the cycle is re-

peated. This is the most common loop mode.

D FWD - BW

The part between the loop points plays from start to end, then from end to start

(backwards), and then repeats the cycle.

! For samples without any loop points, the whole sample will be looped.

About the Solo Sample Function

The Solo Sample button will allow you to listen to a selected sample over the entire

keyboard range.

D Select the key zone the sample is assigned to, and then activate Solo

Sample.

This can be useful for checking if the root key is set correctly or if the current range

is possible to extend etc.

! For Solo Sample to work, “Select Key Zone via MIDI” must be disabled!

Automap Samples

If you have a number of samples that belong together, but haven’t mapped them to

key zones you can use the “Automap Samples” function on the Edit menu. This is

used in the following way:

1. Select all samples that belong together and load them in one go, using the

sample browser.

One of the samples will be assigned to a key zone spanning the whole range, and

the rest will be loaded in to memory but remain unassigned.

2. Select Automap Samples from the Edit menu.

Now all samples currently in memory (assigned or unassigned) will be arranged auto-

matically so that:

D Each sample will be placed correctly according to its root note, and will

be tuned according to the information in the sample file.

Most audio editing programs can save root key information as part of the file.

D Each sample will occupy half the note range to the next sample’s root

note.

The root key will always be in the middle of each zone, with the zone extending

both down and up in relation to the root position.

Mapping Samples Without Root Key or Tuning

Information

Some samples may not have any information about root key or tuning stored in the file.

If the file names indicate the root key you can manually set it for each sample using the

method described below. In a worst case scenario, i.e. no tuning or root key informa-

tion whatsoever, you can still make use of the Automap function:

1. Select all samples that belong together and load them in one go, using the

sample browser.

One of the samples will be assigned to a key zone spanning the whole range, and

the rest will be loaded in to memory but remain unassigned.

2. Manually set the root key, and adjust the tune knob if the sample needs fine-

tuning.

Without any information stored in the file, or if the file name doesn’t indicate the

root key, you will have to use your ears for this step. Play the sample and use an-

other instrument or a tuner to determine its pitch.

3. Select the next sample using the Sample knob, and repeat the previous step.

Proceed like this until you have set a root key for all the samples in memory.

4. Select “Automap Samples” from the edit menu.

The samples will be mapped according to their set root key positions!

How Mapping Information is Saved

All information about key zones, high and low range, root key etc. is stored as part of

the Sampler Patch. The original sample files are never altered!
