How To Build A Drum Kit Using NN-XT?

[JKIEYZ]

I have a alot of different drum sounds and I want to create my own kits using the NN-XT sampler and routing the individual sounds to the mixer for processing.I want a different drum sound stretch across my 49-key controller.How do I do this so that they stay in one pitch and not different pitches? Im completely lost with this can someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on doing this.

Peace

Load all your samples all at once everyone you want.
Then make sure they are all selected. Then right click and hit Automap Zones chromatically

Will that map them to the individual keys or all to one key?

You should try it out and tell me what you think:d:

Cool thanks that worked.

Now how do I route that sounds to individual outs so I can add effects?

 

[Kontents]

Well you can only do 8 tracks total seperate.

1: Highlight the sample you want to route.
2: Right above the Amp Envelope section you will see a knob called "Out" (pretty simple right?)
3: Change the 1-2 to the desered output 3-4.5-6.7-8 and so on...
4: Hit Tab!
5: Route the cables of the output you selected to the mixer track of your choice.

Taaaada!!

hey how do you suspend notes (samples) with nnxt? like where i press one key and let go instantly. and the sample plays out instead of just playing the sample for as long as i held the note down.

i'm trying to simulate the gate/delay option on the redrum.

thanks in advance!

Well you can adjust the "Amp ENVELOPE Release knob to 200.16s like so for each sample:

If you are trying to have the NNXT play the sample out with one hit but cut off once you hit another sample.... you let ME! know when you get that one figured out.

thanks kontents, and yea for future ref, is there anyway to reduce to polyphony to 1 for individual samples? like lets say i have a kickdrum and a snare, but i only want the kickdrum to cut out when i hit the kickdrum sample; i don't want it to cutout when i hit the snare.

 

[elementsrtyte]

does anyone know the answer to that question?

 

[Kontents]

You can go into the "zone" area and select the sample you want to add it to. But if you dont select it and all samples are selected it will affect everything.

 

[elementsrtyte]

I tried that, but if you change the polyphony for one smaple, it will change it for all. Thanks thogh.
myabe you misunderstood..

like lets say i have a big808 kick and a snare. i want to the 808 to cancel out the 808 everytime i hit it, but i don't want the snare to cancel out the 808.

i could create two nnxts for this and do the 808 on one, and the snare on the other, but thats just stupid lol.

 

[Kontents]

It should only effect the zone you have selected. If you have both zones selected it will effect both them. Maybe I am not understanding what you are doing, but from what you are saying it should work.

 

[elementsrtyte]

okay i figured it out, what you have to do is create groups for the particular samples that you want in the particular polyphony setting. thanks kontents for telling me that its possbile, otherwise i would've never messed with it hahah

Good Shit. I should change the name of the thread to Elementsrtyte, JKIEYZ. and Kontents only. lol.

Props on figuring it out.
