NN-XT SAMPLER
(RECORD+REASON)

•Pan
This controls the stereo balance of the output pair to which a zone is routed. In the middle position, the signal ap-
pears equally strong on the left and right channel in a stereo pair. By turning the knob to the left or right, you can
change the stereo balance.
Note that if you for instance turn the Pan knob all the way to the left, you cause the signal to be output from the left
channel of the stereo pair only.
You can use this to treat a stereo output as two independent mono outputs, if required.
See “Out” for information on routing zones to output pairs.
The LFOs
NN-XT features two Low Frequency Oscillators - LFO 1 and LFO 2. “Normal” oscillators generate a waveform and a
frequency, and produce sound.
Low frequency Oscillators on the other hand, also generate a waveform and a fre-
quency, but there are two major differences:
• LFOs only generate sounds of a low frequency.
• LFOs don’t produce sound, but are instead used for modulating various parameters.
The most typical use of an LFO is to modulate the pitch of a sound (generated by an oscillator or - in the case of NN-
XT - a sample), to produce vibrato.
About the Difference between LFO 1 and LFO 2
There are two fundamental differences between LFO 1 and LFO 2:
• LFO 2 is always key synced, that is, each time you press a key, the LFO waveform starts over from scratch. LFO
1 can be switched between key synced and non-key synced modes.
• LFO 2 only has one waveform, triangle.
The following parameters are available for the LFOs:

Description
Key This will make the pan position shift gradually from left to right, the higher up on the keyboard you play.
Key 2 This will make the pan position shift from left to right and then back again from right to left in a sequence of eight keys.
Playing 4 adjacent semitones thus makes the pan position gradually go from left to right. The next 4 higher semitone notes
will then change the pan position from right to left in the same way, and this cycle will then be repeated.
Jump This will make the pan position jump between left and right each time a note is played.
