The Pitch section
This section contains various parameters related to controlling the pitch, or frequency,
of the zones.
Pitch Bend Range
This lets you set the amount of pitch bend, i.e. how much the pitch changes when
your turn the pitch bend wheel fully up or down. The maximum range is +/- 24 semi-
tones (2 Octaves).
Setting the pitch
Use the three knobs marked “Octave”, “Semi” and “Fine” to change the pitch of the
sample(s):
D Octave
This changes the pitch in steps of one full octave. The range is -5 – 0 – 5.
D Semi
This lets you change the pitch in semitone steps. The range is -12 – 0 – 12 (2 oc-
taves).
D Fine
This changes the pitch in cents (hundredths of a semitone). The range is -50 – 0 –
50 (down or up half a semitone).
K. Track
This knob controls Keyboard Tracking of the pitch.
• In the center position, each key represents a semitone This is the normal setting.
• When turned all the way down, all keys play the same pitch. This can be useful for
percussion like timpani where you might want to play the same pitch from a range
of keys.
• When turned all the way up, each key on the keyboard shifts the pitch one octave.
The Filter Section
Filters can be used for shaping the character of the sound. The filter in NN-XT is a
multimode filter with six different filter types.
D To activate/deactivate the filter, click the On/Off button in the top right
corner.
When the filter is activated, the button is lit.
Filter mode
To select a filter mode, either click the Mode button in the bottom right corner or click
directly on the desired filter name so that it lights up:
D Notch
The notch filter is used for cutting off frequencies in a narrow frequency range
around the set cutoff frequency, while letting the frequencies below and above
through.
D HP 12
This is a highpass filter with a 12 dB/Octave roll-off slope. A highpass filter cuts off
low frequencies and lets high frequencies pass. That is, frequencies below the
cutoff frequency are cut off and frequencies above it pass through.
D BP 12
This is a bandpass filter with a 12 dB/Octave roll-off slope. A bandpass filter could
be viewed as the opposite of a notch filter. It cuts off both the high and the low fre-
quencies, while frequencies in the band range pass through.
D LP 6
This is a lowpass filter with a gentle, 6 dB/Octave slope. A lowpass filter is the op-
posite of a highpass filter. It lets the low frequencies through and filters out the
high frequencies. This filter has no Resonance.
D LP 12
This is a lowpass filter with a 12 dB/Octave roll-off slope.
D LP 24
This is a lowpass filter with a fairly steep roll-off slope of 24 dB/Octave.
