NN-19

Reason Studios

Where to get itIncluded with Reasonreasonstudios.com

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.
