Sequencer mode
The TRITON contains a 16-track MIDI sequencer.
This sequencer is the center to which the TRITON’s
numerous functions are integrated, allowing it to be
used in a variety of situations including music pro-
duction and live performance.
When you turn off the power, the settings made in
Sequencer mode and the song data, cue list data,
and user pattern data that you recorded are not
backed up. If you wish to keep this data, you must
save it on a floppy disk or external SCSI device (if
the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed)
before turning off the power, or perform a MIDI
data dump to save the data on an external data
filer etc.
If you wish to save the programs, track parameters
and effects etc. selected for a song as a template
song, use the page menu command “Save as User
Template Song.”
Immediately after the power is turned on, the TRI-
TON will not contain any cue list data or song
data, so if you wish to playback a song on the
sequencer, you must first load data from floppy
disk or receive a MIDI data dump from an external
MIDI sequencer (
☞ p.40, 92). ( ☞ p.119 in the Param-
eter Guide)
• The sequencer lets you record a maximum of
200,000 events (note data etc.), up to 200 songs,
and as many as 999 measures per song.
• Up to 20 cue lists can be created.
A cue list is an arrangement of up to 99 songs that
will be played as a chain. You can specify the num-
ber of times that each song will repeat. Songs in a
cue list can also be converted into a single song.
• The RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording)
function can be used for playback or recording.
• The dual polyphonic arpeggiator can be used for
playback or recording.
• Sixteen different template songs are built-in, and
contain program and effect settings suitable for
various musical styles. Up to sixteen original
templates that you create can be registered as user
template songs.
• Five stereo insertion effects, two master effects,
and a stereo master EQ can be used for each song.
• Sample waveforms that you sampled in Sampling
mode or loaded in Disk mode can be converted
into programs and used in a song.
• If the separately sold EXB-MOSS option is
installed, MOSS tone generator programs can be
played multi-timbrally
. (For example, you could
use two bass voices and four electric piano voices.
However, effect settings cannot be made
separately.)
• Timing resolution is a maximum of
/192.
• Sixteen tracks are provided for musical data, and a
master track contains time signature and tempo
data that controls the playback.
• A track play loop function lets you loop specified
measures independently for each track.
• 150 preset patterns ideal for drum tracks are built
in. In addition, you can create up to 100 user
patterns for each song. These patterns can be used
as musical data within a song, or can be played by
the RPPR function.
• Various methods of recording are supported,
including realtime recording in which your
performance on the keyboard and controllers
(including MIDI control events) is recorded just as
you play, and step recording in which the timing,
length, and velocity of each note can be specify in
the LCD as you input the pitches from the
keyboard.
• The musical data and control events that you
recorded can be edited in various ways (including
event editing and many other edit commands).
• When the “Status” of a track is set to INT or BTH,
an external sequencer can be used to play the
TRITON as a multi-timbral tone generator.
When the “Status” of a track is set to BTH, EXT, or
EXT2, the sequencer of the TRITON can play exter-
nal tone
generators.
• Playback can be synchronized with an external
MIDI device.
• The TRITON’s AMS (Alternate Modulation)
capability lets you use control changes for realtime
control of the parameters of the programs used in a
program. Its MIDI Sync. functionality lets you
synchronize the LFO speed to changes in the
tempo.
• Dmod (Dynamic Modulation) functionality lets
you control effect parameters in realtime. You can
also use MIDI Sync. to synchronize the LFO speed
or delay time to changes in the tempo.
• You can assign names not only to the song, but
also to each pattern and track.
• Combination settings can be copied to a song.
• Sequencer data such as a song or cue list that you
create can be saved in the TRITON’s native format,
or transmitted as a MIDI data dump.
• Programs or sample files can be linked and saved
on external media. This data can be loaded when
desired.
• A song you created can be converted into SMF
(Standard MIDI File) data and saved on external
media. SMF songs can also be loaded.
• The PLAY/MUTE/REC buttons and SOLO
buttons let you instantly play/mute any desired
track.
• You can rewind or fast-forward while listening to
the sound.
• The [LOCATE] key lets you move quickly to a
desired location.
