Global parameters
The parameters located on the panel, outside the display, are global and affect all samples in all Hit groups equally.
•Polyphony
“Full” is, as the word implies, full polyphony. This means that all Hits can sound with full polyphony. Several Hits can
also sound together if controlled from separate Pads that are assigned to different Hit Types.
“Exclusive Hits” means that when one Hit plays it will automatically mute any other sounding Hits. The polyphony
is still full within each Hit, though.
“Monophonic” is... well, monophonic.
•Mod Wheel
If you want the Mod Wheel to affect the pitch and/or decay of the sound, you can set this with the Mod Wheel ->
Pitch and/or the Mod Wheel -> Decay knobs. Both parameters are bipolar (+/-).
•Velocity
In the Velocity section you can control how the velocity should affect a number of parameters. The parameters are:
Pitch, Decay, Level, Bend and Sample Start. All parameters are bipolar (+/-).
•Pitch
Here you can set the global Pitch, Pitch Bend Amount and Pitch Bend Time for all samples. The Pitch and Pitch
Bend Amount parameters are bipolar (+/-).
•Osc
In the Osc section you can set the global Sample Start and Reverse parameters for all samples in the NN-Nano.
•Amp Env
The Amp Env section contains an Attack-Decay Envelope and the global Level parameter for all samples. There is
also an envelope trig mode selector for choosing between Gate and Trig mode. In Gate mode (the square symbol),
the Decay time defines the minimum gate time. If you hold down a key or pad on your MIDI keyboard/control sur-
face, the Decay stage will set in after you released the key/pad.
