NN-19 SAMPLER
(RECORD+REASON)
632
D Changing the start point as an effect.
For example, if you had a sample of someone saying “one, two, three”, you could change the start position so that
when you played the sample it would start on “three”.
q You can also assign velocity sample start allowing to use your playing to determine the exact sample start.
See later in this chapter.
Setting Sample Pitch - Octave/Semitone/Fine
By adjusting the corresponding knobs you can change the pitch of all samples belonging to a patch, in three ways:
D Octave steps
The range is 0 - 8. The default setting is 4.
D Semitone steps
Allows you to raise the frequency in 12 semitone steps (1 octave).
D Fine steps (100th of a semitone)
The range is -50 to 50 (down or up half a semitone).
! Note that the controls in this section cannot be used to tune samples against each other, as all samples will be
affected equally. To tune individual samples, you use the Tune parameter below the keyboard display (see
“Tuning samples”).
Keyboard Tracking
The Osc section has a button named “Kbd. Track”. If this is switched off, the sample’s pitch will remain constant, re-
gardless of any incoming note pitch messages, although the oscillator still reacts to note on/off messages. This could
be useful if you are using non-pitched samples, like drums for example. You could then play a sample in a zone using
several keys, allowing for faster note triggering if you wanted to play a drum roll, for example.
Osc Envelope Amount
This parameter determines to what degree the overall pitch of the samples will be affected by the Filter Envelope
(see “Filter Envelope”). You can set negative or positive values here, which determines whether an envelope param-
eter should raise or lower the pitch.
The Filter Section
Filters are used for shaping the overall timbre of the sound. The filter in NN-19 is a multimode filter with five filter
types.
