1. Create a new sampler device.
2. Click on the sample browser button.
This is located above the keyboard display to the left.
When you browse samples, you can preview them before loading using the browser Play button. If you select the Preview "Autoplay" function, the samples play back once automatically when selected.
3. Use the browser to select a sample and open it.
When you load the first sample into an empty NN-19, this will be assigned a key zone that spans the entire range of the keyboard, and the default Init Patch settings will be used.
Below the keyboard, the range, sample name, root key, tuning, level and loop status of the current key zone is displayed, each with a corresponding knob.
The inverted note on the keyboard indicates the "root key" of the sample. All samples contain a root key, tuning and level setting. If NN-19 is empty, a sample will have its root key placed on the middle "C" (C3) key.
4. If desired, click on the keyboard to change the root key.
You can audition a loaded sample patch or sample by holding down [Alt] and clicking on a key in the Keyboard display. The mouse will take on the shape of a speaker symbol to indicate this.
