NN-19 SAMPLER

148

Retrig

This is the “normal” setting for playing polyphonic patches. That is, when you

press a key without releasing the previous, the envelopes are retriggered, like

when you release all keys and then press a new one. In monophonic mode, Re-

trig has an additional function; if you press a key, hold it, press a new key and

then release that, the first note is also retriggered.

Portamento (Time)

Portamento is when the pitch “glides” between the notes you play, instead of in-

stantly changing the pitch. The Portamento knob is used to set how long it takes

for the pitch to glide from one pitch to the next. If you don’t want any Portamento

at all, set this knob to zero.

Setting Number of Voices - Polyphony

This determines the polyphony, i.e. the number of voices a patch can play simul-

taneously. This can be used to make a patch monophonic (=a setting of “1”), or

to extend the number of voices available for a patch. The maximum number of

voices you can set a patch to use is 99.

! Note that the Polyphony setting does not “hog” voices. For exam-

ple, if you have a patch that has a polyphony setting of ten voices,

but the part the patch plays only uses four voices, this won’t mean

that you are “wasting” six voices. In other words, the polyphony set-

ting is not something you need to consider if you want to conserve

CPU power - it is only the number of voices actually used that

counts.

Voice Spread

This parameter can be used to control the stereo (pan) position of voices. The

Spread knob determines the intensity of the panning. If this is set to “0”, no pan-

ning will take place. The following pan modes can be selected:

Low Bandwidth

This will remove some high frequency content from the sound, but often this is

not noticeable (this is especially true if you have “filtered down” samples). Acti-

vating this mode will save you some extra computer power, if needed.

Controller Section

NN-19 can receive common MIDI controller messages, and route these to vari-

ous parameters. The following MIDI messages can be received:

• Aftertouch (Channel Pressure)

• Expression Pedal

• Breath Control

If your MIDI keyboard is capable of sending Aftertouch messages, or if you have

access to an Expression Pedal or a Breath controller, you can use these to mod-

ulate NN-19 parameters. The “Source” selector switch determines which of

these message-types should be received.

These messages can then be assigned to control the following parameters:

| Mode | Description

Key This will shift the pan position gradually from left to right the higher up

on the keyboard you play.

Key 2 This will shift the pan position from left to right in 8 steps (1/2 octave)

for each consecutive higher note you play, and then repeat the cycle.

Jump This will alternate the pan position from left to right for each note

played.

F. Freq This sets external modulation control of the filter frequency parame-

ter. A positive value will increase the frequency with higher external

modulation values. Negative values invert this relationship.

LFO 1 This sets external modulation control of the LFO Amount parameter.

A positive value will increase the LFO amount with higher external

modulation values. Negative values invert this relationship.

Amp This let’s you control the overall volume of the sound with external

modulation. If a positive value is set, the volume will increase with

higher external modulation values. A negative value inverts this rela-

tionship.
