[. . . ] This is an introductory guide that will get you started using the TRITON Extreme. It explains how to play back the demo songs, select sounds, use convenient performance functions, and perform simple editing. Operation Guide This manual describes each part of the TRITON Extreme and what it does, how to make connections, basic operation, and a summary of each mode. It also explains, for each mode, the basics of editing your sounds, recording on the sequencer, and sampling. [. . . ] Making settings for the sample to be recorded (REC Sample Setup/Sampling Setup) Next we will specify the location into which the data will be sampled, select mono or stereo sampling, and specify the sampling time. REC Sample Setup settings are made in Sampling mode, and Sampling Setup settings are made in Combination, Program, or Sequencer mode. Use the following pages to set them. Mode Sampling Combination Program Sequencer Page Sampling P0: Recording, Recording Combination P0: Play, Sampling Program P0: Play, Sampling Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Sampling · Sampling mode Specify the "Bank" in this dialog box. "Sample No. " specifies the writing-destination sample number. If you check "Program" in the "Convert to" area, the sample will automatically be converted to a program immediately after the sample has been written into RAM. This is convenient when you want to hear the sampled sound immediately. At the right, use "Program" and "MS" to specify the program number and multisample number of the program that will be created by the conversion. Use "Orig. Key" to specify the key that will play the sample at its original pitch. "Orig. Key" will increment by one after you sample, so that the next sample you record will be assigned to the next higher note. If you check "Auto +12 dB On, " the sample playback level will automatically be increased by +12 dB after sampling. ("The recording level and "Auto +12 dB On"") In Sampling mode, you can set this parameter in the P0: Recording, Preference page. 66 In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes, you can set this parameter using the Sampling page menu command "Select Bank & Smpl. You can also assign the edited samples to indexes (zones) to create a multisample. Sampling mode page structure Page P0: Recording Explanation Record samples. Select the sample or multisample to record, make various recording settings and AUDIO INPUT settings. Set sample playback parameters: Start, Loop Start, End Address, Loop on/off, and Reverse on/off. Valve Force settings. Using the metronome It is convenient to use the metronome when you want to play a program or combination at a specific tempo and sample your performance. To access the metronome settings, use the Program or Combination P0: Play, Sampling page menu command "Metronome Setup. " We recommend that you set "BUS (OUTPUT) Select" to either 3 or 4, and connect the (INDIVIDUAL) 3 or 4 jack to your mixer so that the metronome can be monitored via your mixer. P1: Sample Edit P2: Loop Edit P3: Multisample P4: Controller Setup P5: Audio CD Automatically setting-up for the desired sampling method (Auto Sampling Setup) In each mode, Auto Sampling Setup automatically makes the appropriate settings for the sampling-related parameters so you don't have to perform steps 1­4 described above. For example in Program mode you can use this to make the necessary settings for resampling your playing on a program, or to make settings for sampling only an external audio source while you monitor your playing on a program. However, these automatic settings assume typical situations, so you'll need to adjust the parameters to meet your situation. This function is available in the following pages. Mode Sampling Combination Program Sequencer Page Sampling P0: Recording Combination P0: Play, Sampling Program P0: Play, Sampling Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Sampling P6: P7: P8: Insert Effect P9: Valve Force For details on how to access each mode and page, refer to "Basic operation" (p. 13). Sampling can be performed in any page P0­P8 of Sampling mode by using the [REC/WRITE] key and the [START/STOP] key. Recording-related settings such as input level are made by the parameters of P0: Recording, and these settings are valid for the other pages as well. The selected multisample or sample can be played from the keyboard in any page, allowing you to hear the results of your editing in each page. [. . . ] · SMF direct playback (Song Play mode) SMF can be played back directly from media. · Audio CD creation (Media mode) A CD-R/RW drive can be used to create an audio CD from Wave files. Writing may not be possible depending on the media on which the Wave files are saved. · Data transfer to/from a computer (Media mode) Data from CompactFlash media inserted in the TRITON Extreme's CF card slot can be saved to the computer, or data from the computer can be loaded to the CompactFlash media.
