[. . . ] E 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Read these instructions. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Do not block any ventilation openings, install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] The programs assigned to each timbre can sound in three ways: as part of a layer, a split, or a velocity switch. A combination can be set to use any one of these methods, or to use two or more of these methods. The Compare function As you are editing a combi, you can use the [COMPARE] key to listen to the previously saved version (as it was before you began editing). Pressing [COMPARE] again (the light goes dark) returns you to the version you are editing. If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key LED is lit, the LED will go dark, and the current setting will now be the sound that is recalled when the [COMPARE] key LED is dark. Layer Layer refers to settings which cause two or more programs to sound simultaneously when a note is played. Program A Program B Layer: Two or more programs sound simultaneously. Split Split refers to settings which cause different programs to sound on different areas of the keyboard. Program A Program B Timbre 1­8 program, pan and volume P1: Edit-Program/Mixer Here you can assign programs to each timbre 1­8, and set the pan and volume for each one. (These settings can also be made in the Program Select and Mixer pages of P0: Play. ) Split: Different programs will sound in different areas of the keyboard. Edit-Program/Mixer page Velocity switch Velocity Switch refers to settings which cause different programs to sound depending on the velocity (keyboard playing dynamics). Program B Program A Strong Soft Keyboard playing dynamics Velocity Switch: Keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) switches between different programs. On TRITON STUDIO, you can use a different program for each of up to eight timbres, and combine two or more of the above methods to create even more complex setups. Program A Program B Program D Program C Category, Program Select (Bank/Program) Assigns a program to each timbre. When the "Bank/Timbre Program" select menu is displayed, you can select programs by bank. When the "Category/Timbre Program" select menu is displayed, you can select programs from the 16 categories. (p. 35) You can also use the BANK [INT-A]­[EXB-G] keys to select the bank of the program. If you wish to select programs by receiving MIDI program changes, do so in P0: Play. Strong Soft Keyboard playing dynamics Example: B and C/D are split. In the lower keyboard range, A and B are layered. In the higher keyboard range, C and D are switched by velocity and layered with A. As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key zone or velocity zone so that the volume diminishes gradually. This lets you change a split into a keyboard crossfade, or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade. Program A Program B Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard crossfade): As you play from low notes to high notes, the volume of A will fade out, and the volume of B will fade in. Pan Specifies the panning (stereo position) for each timbre. A setting of C064 will reproduce the oscillator pan setting of the program. Adjusting this parameter will move the sound to left or right while preserving the pan relationship between the oscillators. A setting of L001 is far left, and R127 is far right. Volume Adjusts the volume of each timbre. Create the overall sound by adjusting the volume balance between timbres. The "Volume" setting is an important aspect of creating the sound, and this setting will have a significant effect on the overall impression produced by the Combination. 76 Settings for status, MIDI channel, and pitch parameters P2: Edit-Trk Param MIDI Ch page OSC page Force OSC Mode Normally you will set this to PRG (the oscillator will play as set by the program settings). If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound monophonically, set this either to MN (Mono) or LGT (Legato). Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to force a monophonic program to play polyphonically (PG p. 38). MIDI Channel Timbres that you wish to play from TRITON STUDIO's keyboard must be set to the global MIDI channel. Your playing on the keyboard is transmitted on the global MIDI channel, and will sound any timbre that matches this channel. When this is set to Gch, the MIDI channel of the timbre will always match the global MIDI channel, even if you change the global MIDI channel. On some preloaded combinations that use the arpeggiator, timbres assigned to the arpeggiator may not have a "Status" of INT and "MIDI Ch" of Gch. [. . . ] In this case if you install ISO9660 level 3 compatible reader software or packet writing software on your computer, it will be possible to recognize the disc. PG p. 299 A CD-R/RW that was saved or copied on the TRITON STUDIO using packet writing is not recognized by the TRITON/TRITON pro/TRITON proX/TRITON-Rack. These models do not support UDF version 1. 5, and therefore will not recognize such a disc. In the case of a CD-R, it may be possible to make the disc be recognized by executing the page menu command "Convert to ISO9660 Format" (Disk, Utility page) to convert the disc to ISO9660 format.
