Basic functions
Program mode
• In Program P0: Play, program change and bank
select messages are transmitted and received on
the global MIDI channel. These messages are not
received in P1: Edit-Basic – P9: Edit-Master Effect.
Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes
• Program change and bank select messages can be
received on the MIDI channel specified for each
timbre/track to select programs on that timbre/
track.
• When you select a combination, program change
and bank select messages will be transmitted by
timbres whose “Status” is EXT or EX2.
• In Sequencer and Song Play modes, program
change or bank select messages will be transmitted
by tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2
when you select the “Bank/Program” (P0:
Program tab), when you select a song, or when you
return to the beginning of a measure. (
☞ p.30, 47 in
the Parameter Guide “Bank/Program”–”MIDI”)
• In Combination and Sequencer modes,
transmission/reception can be switched on/off for
each timbre/track. (P3: MIDI Filter and MIDI 1 tab
“Enable Program Change.”) (
☞ p.35, 57 in the
Parameter Guide).
Selecting combinations
You can use program change and bank select messages
to select combinations in the same way that you select
programs.
• Combinations 000–127 in banks A, B, C, and D
correspond to program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
• Similarly as for program banks, the internal banks
that correspond to each bank select number will
depend on the “Bank Map” setting (Global P0:
Preference tab). (
☞ “Bank Map” on p.115 in the
Parameter Guide.)
• In Combination P0: Play, program change and
bank select messages are transmitted/received on
the global MIDI channel. They are not received in
P1: Edit-Program/Mixer – P9: Edit-Master Effect.
All program changes can be turned off in Global
P1: MIDI “MIDI Filter.”
As needed, you can independently turn all program
changes on/off, specify whether or not incoming mes-
sages will be able to change combinations, and turn
reception/transmission of bank select messages on/
off.
• If “Combination Change” is unchecked, the
combination will not change even if a program
change on the global MIDI channel is received in
Combination P0: Play. In this case, the program of
the timbre that matches the MIDI channel of the
received message will change.
• If “Bank Change” is unchecked, bank select
messages will not be transmitted or received
(
☞ p.118 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”).
After touch
Channel after touch [Dn, vv]
(n: channel, vv: value)
When you apply pressure to the keyboard after play-
ing a note, an after touch effect will be applied, and
Channel After Touch messages will be transmitted.
When these messages are received, an after touch effect
will be applied.
• After touch for the entire instrument can be turned
off in Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Filter.”
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, after touch
can be switched on/off independently for each
timbre/track (P3: MIDI 1 tab “Enable After Touch)
(
☞ p.35. 57 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”).
Polyphonic key pressure [An, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)
There is another type of after touch called Polyphonic
Key Pressure, which allows after touch to be applied
independently for individual keys. This message can
be used as an alternate modulation source, but cannot
be transmitted by the TRITON’s keyboard. In order to
use this message, it will have to be received from an
external device, or recorded on your sequencer.
The after touch mentioned in this manual refers to
Channel After Touch.
Pitch bender
Pitch bender change [En, bb, mm]
(n: channel, bb: lower byte of the value, mm: upper
byte of the value, together expressing a value of 16,384
steps where 8,192 [bb, mm = 00H, 40H] is the center
value)
When the TRITON’s joystick is moved in the X axis
(left/right), a pitch bend effect will be applied, and
pitch bender messages will also be transmitted. When
these messages are received, a pitch bend effect will be
applied.
The range of pitch change that is produced by
pitch bend messages can also be adjusted via
MIDI. (
☞ p.120 “Changing the pitch bend range”)
Control change
[Bn, cc, vv]
Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control
change no., vv: value)
Refer to “MIDI transmission when controllers are oper-
ated” (p.221) and “How the TRITON transmits/
receives control changes” (p.223) in the Parameter
Guide.
• Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in
Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Filter.”
