MIDI channels
MIDI messages can be exchanged when the transmit-
ting and receiving devices are set to the same MIDI
channel. MIDI uses sixteen channels, numbered 1–16.
The way in which channels are handled will differ
depending on the mode.
Program mode and Sampling mode
• Transmission/reception is performed on the global
MIDI channel*.
* The global MIDI channel is the basic channel that
the TRITON uses for MIDI transmission/reception,
and is set by Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Channel.”
Combination mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/
receive messages for selecting a combination and
turning effects on/off, and to transmit/receive
exclusive data.
• The MIDI channel specified for each timbre (in
Combination P2: MIDI channel tab) is used to
transmit/receive MIDI data for each timbre.
• The MIDI channel specified for each of the insert
effects and master effects is used to control
dynamic modulation, and to control the pan and
send 1/2 after the sound has passed through the
insert effects.
• When you operate the keyboard or controllers of
the TRITON, messages will be transmitted on the
global MIDI channel, and will also be transmitted
on the MIDI channel of any timbre whose “Status”
is set to EXT or EX2.
• Channel messages will be received if they match
the MIDI channel of a timbre whose “Status” is set
to INT (
☞ p.33 in the Parameter Guide “Status” and
“MIDI Channel”).
Sequencer mode and Song Play mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/
receive exclusive data and for messages that switch
effects on/off.
• MIDI data of each track is transmitted/received on
the MIDI channel specified for each track (in the
Sequencer P2: MIDI Channel tab).
• The MIDI channel specified for each of the insert
effects and master effects is used to control
dynamic modulation, and to control the pan and
send 1/2 after the sound has passed through the
insert effects.
• When you operate the keyboard or controllers of
the TRITON, messages will be transmitted on the
MIDI channel selected by “Track Select.” However,
messages will be transmitted only if the track
selected by “Track Select” has a “Status” of BTH,
EXT
, or EX2. ( ☞ p.46 in the Parameter Guide Track
Select “MIDI”).
• When the sequencer is played back, musical data
of tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 will
be transmitted on the specified MIDI channels.
• Tracks whose “Status” is INT or BTH will receive
channel messages of the matching MIDI channel
(
☞ p.55, 104 in the Parameter Guide “Status” and
“MIDI Channel”).
Note on/off
Note-on [9n, kk, vv]
Note-off [8n, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity)
When you play a note on the TRITON’s keyboard, it
will transmit note-on/off messages. When the arpeg-
giator is running, note-on/off messages will be trans-
mitted by the arpeggiator. (If Local Control is off, the
arpeggiator will not transmit note-on/off data.
☞ p.112
“Local Control On settings”)
However, most instruments do not receive or transmit
note-off velocity, and neither does the TRITON.
Program Change/Bank Select
Changing the program/bank
Program change [Cn, pp]
(n: channel, pp: program number that allows 128
sounds to be selected)
• Programs 000–127 in banks A, B, C, D, E, and F
correspond to program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
• Programs 001–128 in banks G, g(1), g(2), g(3), g(4),
g(5), g(6), g(7), g(8), g(9), and g(d) correspond to
program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
Bank select MSB (CC#0) [Bn, 00, mm]
Bank select LSB (CC#32) [Bn, 20, bb]
(n: channel, mm: bank number upper byte, bb: bank
number lower byte)
• The internal banks that correspond to each bank
select number will depend on the “Bank Map”
setting (Global P0: Preference tab). With the factory
settings, this will be GM(2). (
☞ “Bank Map” on
p.115 in the Parameter Guide.)
Simply receiving a Bank Select message will not cause
the program or bank to change. The program or bank
will actually change when a Program Change message
is received.
