- 7. HOW TO CREATE A SAMPLERThe NN-XT is a highly advanced sampler with animpressive list of features and functions to it. Where theNN-19 is a "fast-track" sampler, this machine is for yourmore demanding sampling tasks. The NN-XT is burstingwith detailed programming options, but comes with anintuitive user interface, making it the perfect tool for bothsound design and life-like instrument emulation. Just loadup one of the included orchestral library patches, and you'llknow what we're talking about.Go on create and theninstruments and then on NN-XTadvanced sampler
- 8. How to use samplerClickThe NXT allows you to load and play samples as with the NN-19 The additional featureis that it allows you to layer one sample over another which is done by mapping thesamples across the keyboard.The NXT-XT comes with a range of instrumental samples and also some very highquality sound effects it is also very useful for playing WAV samples which can includevocals recorded by pupils or live instrumental riffs.

By using this feature you can create complexwaveforms by subtracting or multiplying a waveform with a phase offset copy of it self.
- 12. How to add panningEach channel of Reason's mixer has a single pan pot,which places mono signals in the stereo field. As withmixing in any environment, remember to make gooduse of positioning to spread things out and add spaceto your mix.
