Automap Zones
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. The automap function can be used
as a quick way of creating a key map, or as a good starting point for further adjust-
ments of a key map.
Automap works under the assumption that you intend to create a key map for a com-
plete instrument, for example a number of samples of a piano, all at different pitches.
1. Load the samples you want to Automap.
Now you have three options:
• Trust that the root note information in the files is already correct.
• Manually adjust the root notes (and tuning) for all the samples.
• Use “Set Root Notes from Pitch Detection” to automatically set up the root notes.
2. Select all zones you want to automap.
3. Select Automap Zones.
All the selected zones will now be arranged automatically in the following way:
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 mid-
dle between the zones’ root notes. If two zones have the same root key they will be
assigned the same key range.
Automap Zones Chromatically
This menu item is used with the NN-XT sampler. It will map the selected zones chro-
matically (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
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 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.
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 272).
D This operation will not work if the zones are completely overlapping.
Copy REX Loop to Track
This menu item is used for the Dr. 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 notes in the sequencer:
1. Select the sequencer track for the Dr.Rex device.
2. Set the left and right locators to encompass the section you want to fill with
REX notes.
You may want to make sure that this area doesn’t contain any notes already, to
avoid confusion.
3. Select the Dr. Rex player, so that it has focus.
4. Pull down the Edit menu and select “Copy REX Loop to Track”.
Now, the program will create a note for each slice, positioned according to the tim-
ing of the slices. The notes will be pitched in semitone steps, with the first note on
C1, the second on C#1 and so on, with one pitch for each slice. If the area be-
tween the locators is longer than the loop length, the loop notes will be repeated
to fill out the loop.
Now you can reorder, overdub onto, and otherwise edit the note data, using the REX
or Key edit lanes in the sequencer.
Copy Pattern to Track
This menu item is used for the Redrum drum machine and Matrix pattern sequencer. It
converts the selected pattern to notes on a sequencer track. Proceed as follows:
1. Select a sequencer track.
When working with a Redrum, you want to select the track for the Redrum device.
For the Matrix, you would typically select the track for the Matrix’ target device (the
instrument device to which the Matrix is connected). This is because the Matrix it-
self produces no sound, so the notes won’t do any good on the Matrix track.
2. Set the left and right locators to the desired range or length.
If the range set is longer than the pattern(s), the data will be repeated to fit the
range.
3. Select the pattern device, so that it has the focus.
