Preparations for sampling
Connections and settings for a monaural
source
When sampling in monaural from a mic, the output of
an external audio device or mixer, or an instrumental
sound such as guitar or synthesizer, connect the source
to the AUDIO INPUT 1 or 2.
Guitars etc. with active pickups can be input
directly, but instruments with passive pickups (i.e.,
without internal preamps) cannot be sampled at
an appropriate level, due to impedance mismatch-
ing. When connecting such instruments, use a
preamp or effect device.
1 Connect the mic or external audio device to the
AUDIO INPUT 1 jack.
2 Set the AUDIO INPUT [MIC-LINE] switch to
match the input source. For input sources with a
low input level, such as a microphone, select the
MIC position. For other sources, select the LINE
position.
The AUDIO INPUT [MIC-LINE] switch affects
both the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.
3 The AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob will be
adjusted later. For now, set it near the center.
4 In Sampling mode P0: Recording, select the Input/
Setup tab.
5 In “Audio Input (SAMPLING),” set various
parameters that specify how the signal from the
AUDIO INPUT jack will be received.
• “Level” adjusts the volume. Normally you will set
this to 127.
• “Pan” adjust the panning. For this example set it to
L000 .
• Set “BUS (IFX) Select.” If you wish to use the
TRITON’s insert effects to process the incoming
sound, select IFX1–5 here. For this example, select
L/R
. The input sound will be sampled just as it is.
Be aware that when you change the setting from
Off
to L/R or IFX1–5, the volume level in the
AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks and in the
headphones may rise excessively.
“Input 1” controls the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack, and
“Input 2” controls the AUDIO INPUT 2 jack.
The settings up to this point will cause the sound
from the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack to be output from
the AUDIO OUT L/MONO jack and from the L
channel of the headphones.
6 Use the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob to set an
appropriate level.
If the level is excessive at the TRITON’s input stage,
the display will indicate “ADC OVERLOAD !!”
(analog/digital converter is overloaded). Adjust the
AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob or the output level of
the external audio device just low enough so that
the “ADC OVERLOAD !!” does not appear (i.e., the
maximum level that does not cause an overload).
Connections and settings for a stereo source
When sampling in stereo from a stereo mic, the output
of an external audio device or mixer, or synthesizer,
connect the source to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.
1 Connect the L source to AUDIO INPUT jack 1, and
the R source to jack 2.
2 Make the settings described in steps 2–4 of
“Connections and settings for a monaural source.”
3 In “Audio Input (SAMPLING),” set various
parameters that specify how the signal from the
AUDIO INPUT jacks will be received.
• “Level” adjusts the volume. Set both Input 1 and
Input 2 to 127.
• “Pan” adjust the panning. Set Input 1 to L000, and
Input 2 to R127.
• Set “BUS (IFX) Select.” For this example, select L/R
for both Input 1 and Input 2.
The settings up to this point will cause the sound
from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks to be output
in stereo from the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R
jacks and from the headphones. The sound of
AUDIO INPUT 1 will be output from the left, and
AUDIO OUTPUT 2 from the right.
