[. . . ] 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. It also gives examples of using sampling and the sequencer. 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. [. . . ] "Sample No. " specifies the writing-destination sample number. If "Sample Mode" is set to Stereo, specify L and R. 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. Press the OK button to finalize the settings. Set the "Auto +12 dB On" parameter. 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. 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). In such cases, you can check "Auto +12 dB On" when you resample, so that "+12 dB" (Sampling mode Loop Edit page) will automatically be turned on, and the recorded sample will play back at the same level at during resampling. 67 Other Preset Media, etc Effect Global Song Play Sampling Sequencer Combination Program Sampling only the stereo input sound from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks while you listen to the sound of the TRITON Extreme (arpeggiator etc. ) "Input": Analog Input1 "BUS Select": 1/2, "Pan": L000 Input2 "BUS Select": 1/2, "Pan": R127 "Source BUS": Indiv. 1/2 "Recording Level": 0. 0 "Auto +12dB On": Off (unchecked) PG p. 6, 64 In this case, the sound that is input to AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 will be output only to AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL) 1 and 2. Sampling and editing in Sampling mode In Sampling mode, you can record samples, and edit sample data that you sampled or loaded from media (including WAVE and AIFF formats). 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. on samples that were sampled or loaded in Media mode. Set sample playback parameters: Start, Loop Start, End Address, Loop on/off, and Reverse on/off. Editing operations such as Time Slice and Time Stretch. [. . . ] 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. · Convert to ISO9660 Format (Media mode) UDF format CD-R media can be converted to ISO9660 format. If you have any questions regarding the media that can be used, please contact your local Korg distributor. [. . . ]
