• Zones with any other velocity range are shown as striped.
The top zone has a full velocity range (1-127), and the lower zone has a partial velocity range (any other
range), which is indicated by stripes
Sorting Zones by Velocity Values
The Edit menu and the NN-XT context menu contain an item called “Sort Zones by
Velocity”. This option lets you automatically sort the selected zones in the display in
descending order according to their set low or high velocity values.
When you invoke this option, the selected zones will be sorted from top to bottom
starting with the one with the highest “Lo Vel “value.
Note however, that the sorting is done strictly on a group basis. That is, only zones
that belong to the same group can be sorted in relation to each other.
If two zones have the same velocity range, they are sorted by key range.
Setting Velocity Range for a Zone
To set up a velocity range for a zone, proceed as follows:
1. Select one or more zones that you want to adjust.
2. Use the knobs marked “Lo Vel” and “High Vel” in the sample parameter area
to set the desired low- and high velocity values.
Adjusting the “Lo Vel” value for a zone.
“Lo vel” is the lowest velocity value that should trigger the sample in the zone - i.e. if a
key is pressed so softly that the velocity is lower than this value, the sample will not be
played.
“Hi vel” is the highest velocity value that should trigger the sample, which means that
if a key is pressed so hard that the velocity is higher than this value, the sample will not
be played.
About Crossfading Between Zones
At the bottom right in the sample parameter area are two knobs marked “Fade In” and
“Fade Out”. These are primarily used for setting up velocity crossfades for smooth
transitions between overlapping zones. In order to set up crossfades you adjust the
fade out and fade in values for the overlapping zones.
Crossfading Between two Sounds
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 gradually 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.
Another example:
Crossfading can be used to only fade in or fade out a certain sound. One common ex-
ample is to set things up so that one sound plays the entire velocity range and another
is faded in only at high velocity values.
D Zone 1 is set to play the entire velocity range with no crossfade.
D Zone 2 is set to play the velocity range 80 to 127, with a fade in value of
110.
This means that this zone will start fading in from velocity values 80 and will play at
full level in the velocity range 110 to 127.
This can be used for example to add a rimshot to a regular snare sound or a harder at-
tack to a softer violin sample.
