When loading a REX file, each slice in the file is assigned to one key, chromatically. All parameters are set to default settings. Rex loop player, it is possible to make a track play the slices in order to recreate the original loop. To do the same in the NN-XT requires a few extra steps. Use the patch browser to load the REX file into an NN-XT sampler. The sample browser button on the remote editor. 2. Rex loop player and load the same REX file in to this device. Rex to create playback data (a group) on the track assigned to the Dr. Move that group to the track that plays the NN-XT and play it back from there. Rex loop player. More about loading samples later in this chapter. Loading NN-XT Patches NN-XT Patches are patches made specifically for the NN-XT. Reason ships with a large number of NN-XT Patches, some in the Factory Sound Bank but most in the Orkester Sound Bank. NN-XT Patches have the extension ". sxt". Loading NN-19 Patches NN-19 Patches have the extension ". smp". Note that when loading NN-19 patches into the NN-XT, some parameters will not be applicable since the NN-19 and the NNXT to some extent differ from each other in terms of controls. In these cases, the concerned parameters will either be ignored by the NN-XT or mapped to the most equivalent control. NN-XT SAMPLER 157 Using the Main Panel All of the controls on the main panel are used for globally modifying certain parameters for all of the samples in a patch, by the same amount. Receiving MIDI controller messages from external sources NN-XT can receive common MIDI controller messages, and route these to various parameters. You use the "Source" selector switch to determine which type of message should be received: · Aftertouch (Channel Pressure) · Expression Pedal · Breath Control If your MIDI keyboard is capable of sending aftertouch messages, and/or if you have connected an expression pedal or a breath controller to it, you can use these to modulate NN-XT parameters. Which parameters should be modulated is set in the remote editor panel (see page 177). !Movements of the parameters on the main panel can be recorded as automation. However, controls on the remote editor panel (described later) can not!The following is a description of the controls and parameters on the main panel. The Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels Recording MIDI controller messages with the wheel The wheel in the external control section can be used for recording any or all of the three MIDI controller message types into the Reason sequencer. If your MIDI keyboard isn't capable of sending aftertouch messages or you don't have access to an expression pedal or a breath controller, you can use the wheel instead. This is done just as with any other automation recording, see page 6. Most MIDI keyboards come equipped with Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels. The NN-XT features settings for how incoming MIDI Pitch Bend and Modulation wheel messages should affect the sound. [. . . ] Intel Pentium processors are fast at floating point mathematics. Some other lower priced processor have taken shortcuts which reduce their performance in this particular aspect. This will have noticeable effect on the performance of the program. Our advice is: If you plan to buy a computer specifically for Reason, you can play it safe and choose an Intel processor. [. . . ]
