D The zones will be sorted in the display (from top to bottom - lowest key first) according to the root keys.
D The zones will be assigned key ranges according to the root keys.
The key ranges are set up so that the split between two zones is exactly in the middle between the zones’ root
notes. If two zones have the same root key they will be assigned the same key range.
Automap Zones Chromatically (Record+Reason)
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. It will map the selected zones chromatically (one zone per semitone)
from C2 and up. This is useful if you are mapping non-pitched material (e.g. drum or percussion samples) and want
one sample per key. Before you select Automap Zones Chromatically, you may want to adjust the order of the zones,
since this determines which zone is mapped to which key.
Create Velocity Crossfades (Record+Reason)
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. This is used for automatically setting up velocity crossfades for
smooth transitions between overlapping zones. To set up crossfades, you adjust the fade out and fade in values for
the overlapping zones.
An example:
D Two zones are both set to play in the full velocity range of 1-127.
D Zone 1 has a fade out value of 40.
This means that this zone will play at full level with velocity values below 40, With higher velocity values, it will grad-
ually fade out.
D Zone 2 has a fade in value of 80.
This has the effect that as you play velocity values up to 80, this zone will gradually fade in. With velocity values
above 80, it will play at full level.
Instead of manually setting up a crossfade, you can let NN-XT do it for you. Proceed as follows:
1. Set up the zones so that their velocity ranges overlap, as desired.
2. Select the zones.
You can select as many zones as you wish, not just one pair of overlapping zones.
3. Select “Create Velocity Crossfades”.
NN-XT will analyze the overlapping zones and automatically set up what it deems to be appropriate fade in and
fade out values for the zones.
Note the following important points:
D This operation will not work if both zones have full velocity ranges.
At least one of the zones must have a partial velocity range (see page 276).
D This operation will not work if the zones are completely overlapping.
Copy Loop to Track (Record+Reason)
This menu item is used for the Dr. Octo Rex loop player device. To be able to make your REX loop start at the same
time as other sequencer or pattern data, you “convert” the slices in the loop to note clips in the sequencer:
1. Select the sequencer track for the Dr.Rex device.
2. Set the locators to encompass the section you want to fill with REX clips.
You may want to make sure that this area doesn’t contain any note clips already, to avoid overlapping clips.
3. Select desired Loop Slot in the Dr. Octo Rex player.
