[. . . ] Steps in a procedure are listed as 1 2 3 . . . p. I, I – I These indicate pages or parameter numbers to which you can refer. Conventions in this manual References to the TRITON STUDIO The TRITON STUDIO is available in 88-key, 76-key and 61key models, but both models are referred to without distinction in this manual as “the TRITON STUDIO. ” Illustrations of the front and rear panels in this manual show the 61-key model, but the illustrations apply equally to the 88-key and 76-key models. Abbreviations for the manuals BG, PG, VNL References to the manuals included with the TRITON STUDIO are abbreviated as follows in this document. BG: Basic Guide PG: Parameter Guide VNL: Voice Name List Keys and knobs [ ] References to the switches, dials, and knobs on the TRITON STUDIO’s panel are enclosed in square brackets [ ]. References to buttons or tabs indicate objects in the LCD display screen. Symbols , , , , , These symbols respectively indicate cautions, advice, MIDIrelated explanations, a parameter that can be selected as an alternate modulation source, a parameter that can be selected as a dynamic modulation source, and a parameter that can use the BPM/MIDI Sync function. [. . . ] If Volume (CC#07) or Expression (CC#11) has been assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CONTROLS knob [1]–[4] and these controllers have been operated, or if these MIDI messages have been received to lower the playback unity level, then adjustments in the + direction will be valid. (Program P1: 1–2A, Sample Parameters: Level) The playback level will also be affected by the “+12 dB” (2–1c) setting. If “+12 dB” is on, the sample will play back approximately +12 dB louder. M 3–1: Page Menu Command 0–1A 0–1B 0–1C 0–1D 0–1E 0–1F 0–1G 0–1H 0–1I 0–1J 3–1A 0–1K 3–1A: Pitch BPM Adjust This command sets the “Pitch” (3–1b) of the selected index on the basis of a BPM value. Raising the pitch of sample playback will increase the playback speed. of the sample to a tempo of the desired BPM value. 1 Select “Pitch BPM Adjust” to access the dialog box. Pitch [–64. 00. . . +63. 00] Adjusts the playback pitch of the sample in one-cent steps (p. 11, Pitch). 0: The sample will sound at the original pitch when the original key is played. You can also use “Pitch” to make fine adjustments in the length of a rhythm loop. For example with a setting of +12. 00, the playback speed will be doubled, and the loop playback time will be 1/2. (Program P1: 1–2A, Sample Parameters: Pitch) The “Pitch BPM Adjust” page menu command lets you set the playback time in terms of a BPM value (3–1A). 2 Specify “Beat. ” This is specified in quarter-note beats. 3 “Current BPM” will show the BPM value at the base key (displayed in gray). This BPM value is calculated automatically from the start address to the end address of the sample (if looping is off) or from the loop start address to the end address (if looping is on). Set “Level, ” “BUS (IFX/Indiv. ) Select” (normally set to L/R) for Input1 (L channel) and Input2 (R channel). • A certain passage of digital audio information stored on audio CD (played in the installed CDRW-1 or a CD-R/ RW drive connected to the SCSI connector) can be acquired in its digital state and saved as a sample. This “ripping” function allows you to bypass the usual Digital-to-Analog and Analog-to-Digital converters and preserve the digital signal in its original state. Digital ripping is executed by the page menu command “Destination” (5–1A). Some CD-R/RW drives do not support ripping (i. e. , a CD-R/RW drive that does not read CD-DA data). In this case, the display will indicate “Error in reading from medium. ” Use the various SEQUENCER keys to control the audio CD. 5–1 5–1a 5–1b 5–1c 5–1d SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key : play/stop [FF>>] key : fast-forward [<<REW] key : rewind [PAUSE] key : pause [LOCATE] key : return to the beginning of the track If the CDRW-1 option is installed, playing the keyboard or operating the controllers during playback may produce physical shock that causes the playback to skip or reading errors to occur, preventing playback from occurring normally. 5–1a: Location Location [00:00. 0. . . ] Indicates the current location of the track being played (“Track”). When stopped, this indicates the location at which playback will begin. If you re-select “Track” or “Index, ” this will be 00:00. 0. 120 5–1b: Drive, Track, Index Drive (Drive select) [ID0. . . 6, CDD: Name] Selects the CD-R/RW drive that contains the audio CD that you want to play or rip. Drives other than a CD-R/RW drive cannot be selected here. M 5–1: Page Menu Command 5–1A 5–1A: Destination Specifies the writing data of the ripped data, and execute ripping. You can rip to sample memory (RAM), hard disk, floppy disk, or a removable disk (sold separately) connected to the SCSI connector. If the CDRW-1 option is installed, playing the keyboard or operating the controllers during ripping may produce physical shock that causes data skips or reading errors, preventing ripping from occurring normally. [. . . ] For connections, use a BNC Coax cable made by Alesis Corporation or a BNC cable made for video (both sold separately). 4 Set the TRITON STUDIO’s “System Clock” (Global P0: 0–2a) to Word Clock. The digital audio signal that is output from the DIGITAL OUT connector is output in synchronization with the clock signal received at the WORD CLOCK IN jack, allowing the digital signals of the two devices to be synchronized. If you wish to store the “System Clock” setting, use the “Write Global Setting” utility to write it. 5 Set the word clock source of the ADAT to “DIG 48 K. ” For details refer to the manual for the connected ADAT. If the clock cannot be detected correctly due to a disconnected BNC cable or for some other reason, a error message “Word Clock Error!” will appear in the LCD. If this occurs, check whether a problem has occurred with the BNC cable. [. . . ]
