Basic functions
Sampling mode
The TRITON provides high-performance mono/stereo
sampling.
None of the multisample or sample data in Sam-
pling mode is backed up when the power is turned
off. If you wish to keep this data, you must save it
on a floppy disk or external SCSI device (if the sep-
arately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed) before
turning off the power.
Immediately after the power is turned on, the TRI-
TON will contain no multisample or sample data.
If you wish to playback or edit data, you must first
load previously-saved data from floppy disk or an
external SCSI device.
• 48 kHz 16 bit linear mono/stereo sampling.
• 16 Mbytes of sample (waveform) data memory is
standard, allowing you to sample for
approximately 2 minutes 54 seconds in monaural,
or approximately 1 minute 27 seconds in stereo. By
installing 72 pin SIMM modules, you can expand
the memory to a maximum of 64 Mbytes, which
will allow you to record up to four 2 minute 54
second samples in mono (or four 1 minute 27
second samples in stereo), for a maximum total of
approximately 11 minutes 39 seconds of sampling
time. (For details on expansion, refer to p.237 in the
Parameter Guide.)
• A maximum of 1,000 multisamples and 4,000
samples can be created.
• In Disk mode you can load multisample/sample
data from a floppy disk or SCSI media (when the
separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed).
• Korg format or AKAI (S1000/S3000) format
sample data, or AIFF or WAVE files can be loaded.
(When this data is loaded into the TRITON, it will
all be handled as Korg format sample data.)
• The external audio source that you are sampling
can be processed by the five insertion effects to
apply effects such as compressor, EQ, or lo-fi. The
LFO frequency or delay time of the effect can be
specified as a BPM value, which is highly effective
when sampling phrase loops etc.
• Both auto sampling and manual sampling can be
performed. With auto sampling, recording will
begin automatically when the input level exceeds a
specified threshold. In either method of sampling,
you can make pre-trigger settings.
• The audio input supports both mic and line level
signals.
• Data that is sampled can be immediately played
from the keyboard. It can also be converted into a
program by a simple operation
, and used as an
element of the TRITON’s HI synthesis system.
Multisamples/samples that have been converted
into a program can be used in a combination or
song.
• The waveform can be viewed in the LCD screen,
and edited by a variety of waveform editing
commands that include rate convert (down-
sampling) and reverse playback.
• Start, loop start, and end addresses can be
specified in units of a single sample. Loop tune,
reverse playback
, and loop lock functions are also
supported.
• The Use Zero function automatically detects zero
cross points, making it easy to find the beginning
or end of the sample, or click-free locations.
• The grid function displays a BPM-based grid on
the waveform display, helping you to create loops
or make waveform edits that match the desired
BPM.
• Each multisample allows you to create up to 128
indices . Each index consists of a sample
assignment, a key zone, an original key, a playback
pitch, and settings such as level.
• The “Keyboard & Index” display lets you edit a
multisample while viewing the assignments and
zones of each sample.
• The playback pitch of each index can be matched
to a desired BPM value by using the BPM Adjust
function
(playback pitch adjust) to set the loop
frequency.
• Sample names and multisample names of up to 16
characters can be assigned. Sample names and
multisample names can also be viewed in Disk
mode (
☞ p.132 “Translation” in the Parameter
Guide).
