NN-XT SAMPLER
(RECORD+REASON)
647
• Expression Pedal
• Breath Control
If your MIDI keyboard is capable of sending aftertouch messages, and/or if you have connected an expression pedal
or a breath controller to it, you can use these to modulate NN-XT parameters. Which parameters should be modu-
lated is set in the remote editor panel (see “The Modulation controls”).
Recording MIDI controller messages with the wheel
The wheel in the external control section can be used for recording any or all of the three MIDI controller message
types into the Reason sequencer. If your MIDI keyboard isn’t capable of sending aftertouch messages or you don’t
have access to an expression pedal or a breath controller, you can use the wheel instead.
This is done just as with any other automation recording, see “Recording performance controller automation”.
High Quality Interpolation
This switch turns High Quality Interpolation on and off. When it is activated, the sample pitch is calculated using a
more advanced interpolation algorithm. This results in better audio quality, especially for samples with a lot of high
frequency content.
• High Quality Interpolation uses more computer power - so if you don’t need it, it’s a good idea to turn it off! Lis-
ten to the sounds in a context and determine whether you think this setting makes any difference.
Global Controls
All of these knobs change the values of various parameters in the remote editor panel and affect all loaded samples.
Thus they can be used for quickly adjusting the overall sound.
The knobs are bi-polar, which means that when they are centered, no parameter change is applied. By turning them
to the right you increase the corresponding value, and by turning them to the left, you decrease the value.
Again, the movements of these parameters can be recorded as automation. This is done just as with any other auto-
mation recording, see “Recording parameter automation”.
The controls are, from left to right:
