Quick Tip: NN-XT controllable Sample Start

Usually, whenever we need to do some real-time messing with the Sample Start, we usually discard the NN-XT (because there's no way to automate it's sample-based Start/End, and Loop Start/End settings) ...
...and think immediately of the NN-19 because it has, right there, on the upper right corner, a little knob to easily tweak the Sample Start, controllable through Combinator's modulation routing matrix...
...but, there's a way to do the same thing with the NN-XT, indirectly :P

There's a NN-XT setting that can be used to do exactly the same thing and be as controllable but through CV and affect all the loaded samples at the same time. :)

Turning the NN-XT's Velocity S.Start all the way to the right will mimic the NN-19 Sample Start behavior, controllable by the CV values sent to the Gate CV input at the back of the NN-XT.


Now, imagine using Thor's Sequencer Note and Gate/Velocity CV outputs to control the NN-XT (or a NN-19 inside a combinator) taking advantage of the high rate resolution... can you see what's possible to do ? ;)


BTW, NN-19 reminds me of
Paul Hardcastle's "Na-Na Na-Na Nineteen"

    hey man,
    can you post a combinator patch of this? Or explain it a bit more, sorry, just cant seem to get my head around it and its crucial as i really dont wanna start using recycle.
    thanks

    Yes would you please be able to show us how to do this, im really wanting to know. I would donate if you can help with that. I want to control the sample start with these thor controls to help me playback a sample please can you help.

Generic MIDI Channel aware Remote Codec+Map

Image
If you have a controller capable of sending MIDI messages on multiple MIDI Channels, like an M-Audio Axiom 's 4 Keyboard zones (so 4 MIDI Channels from the same keyboard) plus the Pads on Channel 10 or an Arturia BeatStep PRO that can send 2 sequences on their own MIDI Channel (1 and 2) and its Drum sequencer on MIDI Channel 10 plus the controller on, say, MIDI Channel 16, etc,  then you certainly felt the need for a MIDI Channel-aware type of Remote Codec like this one. Taking the BSP example, here's how to get its 4 sources of MIDI into Reason with this Remote Codec+Map. Add a Control Surface per MIDI source  with these 3 easy steps: 1)  Add a Control Surface from the " <Other> " Manufacturer and choose the correct " Generic Controller on MIDI Channel __ /< " Model with the MIDI Channel you'll need 2) Give it a proper name, so you know what's the real controller being used with this generic map (that you

Arturia SparkLE Remote Codec+Map

Hey all :) I've been asked last week to share my Arturia SparkLE Codec so here it is :) (unofficial) Arturia SparkLE Remote Codec (and partial Map) V1.0.2 ReDrum: Added Drum Channel selection support through the Dial encoder Edit Flam with Select+Loop Button Flam Amount  with  Select+Tempo Encoder Shuffle On/Off through Loop Button Actually, this has been sitting on my Remote projects folder for 2 years now (and far from being alone in there, eh), waiting for me to complete the rest of the Remote Map, because my initial need for it was really just to control Kong, Dr.OctoRex and ReDrum, that's why those are really the ones that got some partial love on the included map. Early this year, due to the improvements added to the ReDrum remoteables s ince Reason 8.2 , I ended up making some editing to support the new ReDrum remoteables :) I'm hoping that anyone wanting to extend it or complete it has enough examples already in the partial map I'm

Random access to a CV values list

Just added this little CV tool in the free download section (on the right): "K's Basics - Random access to a CV values list" It's basically a way to access through CV indexing, a list of 3x32 "cells" of CV values (well, one of the list is within the Note range of CV values, but this example is enough to demo the concept). So, if you're ever in need of generating a specific sequence of CV values controlled by another CV source, this is one way to do it :) It's like having random or sequential access (in whatever direction you want) to a specific custom list of CV or note values, by using a CV controlled "cursor" (just connect the CV "cursor" source to the Rotary 1 CV input and tweak the Combinator modulation programmer Min/Max values to your needs). This device was enough for something I was testing, but I'm sure it can be optimized with some thought and more time. It won't work well in a real-time fast switching situation,
