[. . . ] ("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. If you select MEDIA, you can also select the writingdestination drive. In all modes, this is specified by the page menu command "Select Directory. " When you sample an external audio source, you should normally set "Recording Level" to +0. 0 (dB). If you sample with "Auto +12 dB On" turned off at this time, "+12 dB" (Sampling mode Loop Edit page) will be off, and the sample will play back at the same level at which it was sampled. When the power is turned on, "Recording Level" and "Auto +12 dB On" will default to the following settings. Program, Combination, Sequencer modes "Recording Level": ­12. 0 (dB), "Auto +12 dB On": on Sampling mode "Recording Level": +0. 0 (dB), "Auto +12 dB On": off These settings assume that you will mainly be resampling in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes (listed above), and performing conventional sampling in Sampling mode (listed below). Media Select Optimizing the sample memory (RAM) In the "Media Select" field, select the drive. Use the Open and Up buttons to move between levels of the directory hierarchy to select the desired directory. If you sampled to the media as a WAVE file, the "Auto +12 dB On" setting will be ignored. The playback level of the WAVE file is set by "WAVE File Play Level" (PG p. 158). 2 In "Sample Time, " specify the length of time that you want to sample. If you are sampling to RAM (sample memory), you can sample a maximum of approximately 2 minutes 54 seconds in mono, or approximately 1 minute 27 seconds in stereo. If you are sampling to MEDIA, you can sample a maximum of 80 minutes in either mono or stereo (mono: approximately 440 Mbytes, stereo: approximately 879 Mbytes). 3 Set "Sample Mode" to specify whether a mono or a stereo file will be created. Stereo: The sound of the internal L and R channels will be sampled in stereo. If RAM has been specified as the destination to which data will be written during sampling, you can specify that sample memory (RAM) be automatically optimized after the data is written. When optimization is performed, unused areas that are occupying memory space will be reorganized to increase the available free space. In the Global mode P0: Basic Setup, Input/Sampling page, you can check "Auto Optimize RAM" so that RAM will automatically be optimized when sampling ends. In this case, you will always be able to sample without any wasted RAM area, but the sound will stop for a time when sampling ends. If a song is being played back in Sequencer mode, the playback will stop. If you are playing back a song, or if you are repeatedly recording multiple samples in various locations while listening to audio input from a CD etc. , you can sample with "Auto Optimize RAM" unchecked, and then execute the page menu command "Optimize RAM" (found in the Sampling page of Program, Combination, or Sequencer modes, and in P0­P4 of Sampling mode) to optimize the RAM when the remaining amount of memory begins to decrease. The remaining amount of sample memory (RAM) can be checked in Sampling mode P0: Memory Status. Examples of sampling settings Resampling only the sound of the TRITON Extreme (e. g. , arpeggiator and/or keyboard performance) "Input": Analog Input1 "BUS Select": Off Input2 "BUS Select": Off "Source BUS": L/R "Recording Level": ­12. 0 "Auto +12dB On": On (checked) PG p. 6, 64 Resampling the sound of the TRITON Extreme (arpeggiator and/or keyboard performance) together with the input sound from the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack "Input": Analog Input1 "BUS Select": L/R, "Pan": C064 or as desired Input2 "BUS Select": Off "Source BUS": L/R "Recording Level": ­12. 0 "Auto +12dB On": On (checked) PG p. 6, 64 The recording level and "Auto +12 dB On" When you resample the playback of a song, or your keyboard performance using a program, combination, or sample, or if you mix your performance with an external audio source and sample the result, you should normally set "Recording Level" to ­12. 0 (dB). If you resample at ­12. 0 (dB), the sample data will be recorded at the optimum level, but the playback level will be lower than the level during sampling (if "+12 dB" is off).
