Delete Zones
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. Selecting this option will remove
both the selected zones, and any samples they may contain.
Select All Zones
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This option will automatically select
all zones in a key map.
Copy Parameters to Selected Zones
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. It lets you easily copy parameter set-
tings from one zone to any number of other zones. Proceed as follows:
1. Select all the zones you want to involve in the operation.
By this we mean the zone with the settings you wish to copy, and the zone(s) to
which you want to copy the settings.
2. Make sure the zone that contains the settings you want to copy has edit fo-
cus by clicking on it.
3. Select “Copy Parameters to Selected Zones”.
All the selected zones will now get the exact same parameter settings.
! Observe that this only applies to the synth parameters (LFOs, envelopes
etc.). Sample parameters (root key, velocity range etc.) can not be cop-
ied.
Sort Zones by Note
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This option lets you automatically
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 bottom 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 velocity
range.
Sort Zones by Velocity
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This option lets you automatically
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 bottom
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 selected
zones together in a group.
Grouping zones is good for two things:
D To allow you to quickly select a number of zones that “belong together.”
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 adjustment to them by
trimming a parameter.
D 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 between 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 succes-
sion.
2. Select “Group Selected Zones”.
The zones are grouped.
Note that there is always at least one group, since the zones you create are always
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 inher-
ent 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 recorded 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 original 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.
