This menu item lets you load samples into the devices that use them; the Redrum, the NN-19 and the NN-XT.
The following sample formats can be loaded:
This is the standard audio format for the PC platform.
This is the standard audio format for the Mac platform.
This is an open standard format for wavetable synthesized audio, developed by E-mu systems and Creative Technologies.
REX file slices (.rex2, .rex, .rcy)
REX files are music loops created in the ReCycle program. This program "slices" up loops into several, separate samples. These samples - or slices - can be loaded into the devices mentioned.
To use this menu item to load a new drum sound into Redrum, proceed as follows:
1. Select a channel in the drum machine, by clicking its Select button.
The Redrum sample browser opens.
3. Navigate to a location containing any of the sample formats listed above, select one and click Open.
This menu item can also be used to add a sample to a key zone in a key map in the NN19 sampler.
This can be empty, or contain a sample - it doesn't matter for now.
2. Use the browser to add one or several (see below) sample(s).
If the zone contained a sample prior to loading, this will be replaced, both in the zone and in the sample memory, unless the sample was also used by another key zone.
If you loaded several samples, one of the samples (the sample that was selected furthest down in the Browser list) will be loaded into the key zone, and the other samples will be loaded into the sample memory.
This menu item is used for adding one or more sample(s) to a key map in the NN-XT:
1. Make sure the Remote Editor panel is folded out, by clicking the small arrow in the bottom left corner.
If the remote editor panel is folded in, you will only be able to browse for NN-XT patches.
2. Use the sample browser to add one or several sample(s).
The sample(s) will be placed in separate zones and mapped across the same key range.
If a key map already contains a zone with a sample in it, and this is selected prior to loading, it will be replaced if you load a new, single sample. If you load several samples at once though, they will instead be added below any already loaded samples.
