The NN-XT features eight separate stereo output pairs. For each zone, you can decide which of these output pairs to use. Thus, if you have created a key map consisting of eight zones, each of these can have a separate stereo output from NN-XT, and can then be routed to a separate mixer channel if you so wish.
To select which output a selected zone should be directed to, use the knob marked "Out" in the sample parameter area.
The output pairs are indicated above the button.
Note that you still have to route the outputs the way you want them on NN-XT's back panel. If you assign a zone to an output pair other than 1-2 (which is the default) no connections or auto routing are made. You have to do that manually.
One possible way of utilizing this would be to create a drum kit. In this case you could load up to eight different stereo drum samples, assign them to separate outputs, route each to a separate mixer channel and then use the mixer to set levels and pan, add send effects etc.
If, on the other hand, you are using mono samples, you can use one stereo pair as a two separate outputs, effectively giving you a total of 16 separate outputs.
1. Assign two zones to the same output.
2. Us the Pan control to pan one of the zones hard left and the other hard right.
3. Connect each of the two outputs in the stereo pair to a separate mixer channel.
