MIDI applications
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
and is a world-wide standard for exchanging various
types of musical data between electronic musical
instruments and computers. When MIDI cables are
used to connect two or more MIDI devices, perfor-
mance data can be exchanged between the devices,
even if they were made by different manufacturers.
Controlling an external MIDI tone gen-
erator from the TRITON
When you wish to use the TRITON’s keyboard, con-
trollers, and sequencer etc. to play an external MIDI
tone generator, use a MIDI cable to connect the TRI-
TON’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector
of the external MIDI tone generator.
Controlling the TRITON’s tone genera-
tor from an external MIDI device
When you wish to play or control the TRITON’s tone
generator from an external MIDI keyboard or
sequencer etc., use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI
OUT connector of the external MIDI device to the
MIDI IN connector of the TRITON.
Controlling two or more external MIDI
tone generators from the TRITON
You can use the MIDI THRU jack to simultaneously
control multiple MIDI devices. (This type of connec-
tion should be used to connect no more than three
devices. If you wish to connect a larger number of
MIDI devices, we recommend that you use a MIDI
patch bay as shown in the second diagram below.)
You can also use a MIDI patch bay to control multiple
MIDI devices.
The “Convert Position” setting
On the TRITON, the Global P0: Basic tab parameters
“Key Transpose,” “Velocity Curve” and “After Touch
Curve” allow you to transpose the pitch, adjust the
velocity sensitivity, and adjust the after touch sensitiv-
ity (
☞ p.113 in the Parameter Guide).
The effect that these settings will have on the internal
sequencer and on the MIDI data that is transmitted
and received will depend on “Convert Position” (Glo-
bal P1: MIDI) setting (
☞ p.118 in the Parameter Guide).
• When controlling an external MIDI tone generator
from the TRITON, select “Pre MIDI.” The above-
listed settings will affect the MIDI data that is
transmitted. These settings will also affect the data
that is recorded on the internal sequencer.
