Is there a rack extension (like a redrum or a matrix) to control NNXT ?
It would be great to easily make pattern for NNXT drums
choosing instruments (Bd Sd Hh...) you want to play
and of course using the velocity of the NNXT ?

Check out the Korde Sequencer, and Euclid in the Shop. Also, ReDrum can be used as a step sequencer for this purpose.

Thanks for your answer
NNXT has only one CV Gate
So i have to create one NNXT for each instrument (samples in C3) ?
Or perhaps is it possible to control several keys at the same time using the only CV gate of one NNXT ?

this is what the "Note" CV is for. the "Gate" CV tells it when to play, and the "Note" CV tells it what key to play. so if you have all your different drum samples laid out on different keys, you need a device that will send Note CV for those particular keys

Take a look at Josh Levy's Tick Tick sequencer, https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/ ... sequencer/. With tick tick you can send polyphonic cv and control for instance a nn-xt.

Just connect the cv note and gate out from tick tick to the nn-xt cv and note inputs and you're good to go. Tick tick has no gate length control so you'll have to adjust the amp envelope release on the nn-xt.
