NN-19 SAMPLER
(RECORD+REASON)
630
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 cannot set loop points in the NN-19, this has to be done in the Edit
Sample window (see “Looping samples”) or in an external 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 repeated. 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, 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 “Au-
tomap 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 automatically 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 information 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.
