"Dnb & Jungle is the only shit i listen to"
You have to use your midi keyboard to hear already loaded samples.
You can only listen to samples when you are adding them to the selected zone.
With the play feature in the load menu.
Virtual keyboards are ok - Sort of. - HaHa.
I'd look into buying a real midi keyboard when you can afford to though.
M-audio keyboards are pretty good & also pretty cheap.
You don't make a beat inside of the NNxT.
Basically it's a sampler: You add various sounds to specified zones within the NNxT.
Then you assign them to keys on your midi.
[Single keys or ranges of keys. Say like between C1-C2 on your midi etc ...]
Which lets you control what your keyboard plays.
Each sample zone you add can also be manipulated in the NNxT in numerous amounts of ways.
LFO's, Filters, Pitch, Attack, Release, Sustain, Octaves etc ...
The list goes on.
0ot can I have one of those ...
Mweh haha.
eQ'n is the bain of my bloody life.
Although saying that the Specstroscopator combi I found on combinatorhq.com is pretty useful.

It doesnt have any eq settings already saved cuz that would be a bit pointless as every sound needs eqing in a different way
but the eq and comps are there set-up so i can route each type of sound to a certain output them eq all the kick, snares,hats and ghost hits the same so i can quickly clean up a break and move on.

Right, when you got it, Fire up a combi load this patch, then open up the nn-xt and load a rex break via the patch browser not the sample browser.
Doing this will load up the break with each hit pre assigned to separate keys (nice)
now go through the break and route the hits to the following outputs
Kicks 1-2
Snares 3-4
Ghost Hits 5-6
Hi-hats 7-8
Now the kick and snare have comp first then eq and the ghost and hats only have eq.
These are then routed to a mixer, which has a malstrom as the first send with everything bypassed other than the shape which is set to saturation for making the hits a bit more crunchy if you so wish.
now the Comp and Eq above the mixer are for the whole break for final shaping. Also i added a stereo controller in case you want to narrow any stereo breaks.
I've made it so that all the eq's and all the comps can be bypassed at once for quick reference to see if what you are doing is actually helping the break.
Enjoy and let me know if you have any more questions about it.
*EDIT*
forgot to add that if you save the breaks to another patch you'll soon build up a nice collection of pre-processed breaks so you can increase work flow
Thnx for all the great information although i am confused on how to add the samples to what key i want on BOME'S MOUSE KEYBOARD you know of any video tutorials about this? Would greatly appreciate that.

Bomes virtual keyboard ?
No none that I know of ...
Here's the link to the Virtual midi keyboard and the maple virtual midi controller drivers I used before I saved up and bought myself a midi piano.
Which I suggest you should do the same !
When you can.
Here's the link: http://www.adrive.com/home/downloadfile/22558784
Comes with the manual and everything.
And here's a little something else:
Basically you select the key range in the zone area and then you can assign them to play on a certain amount of keys or just on a single key.
Remember that the "Lo key - Hi Key" tells you where the sample starts and where it ends. You can adjust it with the knobs under the Lo Key - Hi Key bit or you can adjust them by clicking and dragging on the highlighted zone itself.
I hope this cures a wee bit of your confused mind !

Do you mean upload the Reason rns song file ?
You need a webstorage site for that.
Here's the link to the one I use which is free and has a 50GB storage space: http://www.adrive.com/home/index?dir=
