The NN-19 is a sampler capable of recording and reproducing audio material via MIDI, allowing any sound to be integrated into the MIDI environment and controlled like a synthesizer. Unlike traditional tape recorders, it enables pitch playback through a keyboard, making it ideal for both professionally multisampled instruments and creative sample manipulation. The NN-19 includes numerous ready-made sample patches across all instrument types and supports advanced key zoning for multisampling.

The NN-XT is an advanced multi-sample playback instrument that allows you to load individual samples and organize them across the keyboard with comprehensive synth-type parameters for sound modification. Unlike its companion NN-19, the NN-XT excels at creating complex, layered sounds through velocity switching, layering, and individual parameter control for each sample zone, while also supporting SoundFonts, REX files, and 8 stereo output pairs for flexible routing.

Layer 16 drum channels with modular flexibility and control complex rhythms through intuitive pad triggering and loop slicing.

Crush drums and synths with aggressive compression, gritty saturation, and five resonant filters—then modulate the chaos with LFO and envelope followers.
