A Stereo example
One possible way of utilizing this would be to create a drum kit. In this case you could load up to eight different stereo
drum samples, assign them to separate outputs, route each to a separate mixer channel and then use the mixer to set
levels and pan, add send effects etc.
Using a stereo output as two mono outputs
If, on the other hand, you are using mono samples, you can use one stereo pair as a two separate outputs, effectively
giving you a total of 16 separate outputs.
1. Assign two zones to the same output.
2. Us the Pan control to pan one of the zones hard left and the other hard right.
3. Connect each of the two outputs in the stereo pair to a separate mixer channel.
Group parameters
The group parameters are located at the top left on the remote editor panel. These are parameters that in various
ways are directly related to playing style.
Group parameters apply to a group, that is they are settings that are shared by all zones in a group.
D To make adjustments to one group, select one or more zones that belong to the group, and adjust the param-
eter on the front panel.
D To set several groups to the same value, select at least one zone in each group you want to adjust, and adjust
the parameter on the front panel.
Key Poly
This setting determines the number of keys that you can play simultaneously (the polyphony). The maximum number
is 99 and the minimum is 1, in which case the group will be monophonic.
Users of other samplers may want to note that the polyphony often means setting the number of
voices that should
be able to play. The NN-XT is different in this aspect, since the polyphony setting instead determines the number of
keys, regardless of how many voices each key plays.
The Group Mono button
The Group Mono button beside the Key Poly section can be used to quickly set a group to play monophonically re-
gardless of the polyphony setting. E.g. if you have a group with open and closed hi hats, you can switch this on so that
an open hi hat is automatically muted when you play a closed hi hat.
Group Mono overrides the Key Poly setting - except when playing the same note.
