Adjusting parameters

Adjusting Synth parameters

The synth parameters are the ones that occupy the bulk of the remote editor panel (see “Synth Parameters”). Changes you make to synth parameters always apply to all selected zones.

The panel always shows the settings for the zone with edit focus.

More about this below.

To make adjustments to one zone, select it (which also gives it edit focus) and adjust the parameter on the front panel.

To set several zones to the same value, select them and adjust the parameter.

All zones will be set to the same value for the parameter you adjusted.

Adjusting Group parameters

Group parameters apply to a group. That is, they are settings that are shared by all zones in a group.

To make adjustments to one group, select one or more zones that belong to the group, and adjust the parameter on the front panel.

To set several groups to the same value, select at least one zone in each group you want to adjust, and adjust the parameter.

All groups will be set to the same value. More about this below.

About “Conflicting” parameters

Often you will find yourself in a situation where you select multiple zones and parameter settings differ between them. This is quite normal. For example, you will often find yourself making adjustments to for example level and filtering to balance the sound between several samples across the keyboard. However, if you have multiple selections this can sometimes lead to confusion: Enter the NN-XT’s “conflicting parameters” indication:

Whenever two or more selected zones have conflicting parameter settings, NN-XT will notify you about this by showing a small “M” (for multiple) symbol, next to the parameter.

In this example, Level and Spread have conflicting settings.

The controls on the panel always show the setting for the zone with edit focus.

By clicking your way through the zones within the selection, you can see the settings for each zone.

If you adjust a parameter, all selected zones will be set to the same value for this parameter.

You can put this functionality to good use when checking how a patch has been created and when checking that your own settings are consistent through the various zones.

Sample parameters

The Sample parameters allow you to specify various properties for one or several selected zones, such as tuning, key and velocity ranges.

To set several zones to the same value, select them and adjust the parameter.

All zones will be set to the same value for the parameter you adjusted.

Copying parameters between zones

You can easily copy parameter settings from one zone to any number of other zones. Proceed as follows:

1.	Select all the zones you want to involve in the operation.

By this we mean the zone with the settings you wish to copy, and the zone(s) to which you want to copy the settings.

2.	Make sure the zone that contains the settings you want to copy has edit focus.

3.	Pull down the Edit menu or the NN-XT context menu and select “Copy Parameters to Selected Zones”.

All the selected zones will now get the exact same parameter settings.

Observe that this only applies to the synth parameters (see “Synth parameters”). Sample parameters (root key, velocity range etc.) can not be copied.
