When you change programs or combinations, or use param-
eter changes to edit, the changes will affect the data in the
edit buffer and will not be stored in internal memory unless
you Write, so that the changes will be lost if you re-select the
program or combination. The Write operation can be per-
formed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request or Com-
bination Write Request message, in addition to the usual
method of using the TRITON STUDIO’s switches. (“Saving
data”
☞BG p.55)
It is not necessary to write a song, but it will not be backed
up when the power is turned off. If you wish to keep the
data, save it on external media before turning off the power.
(“Saving on media”
☞BG p.59)
If notes are “stuck”
If for some reason, notes become “stuck” and will not stop
sounding, you can usually stop the sound by changing the
mode. If notes played via MIDI are stuck, you can discon-
nect the MIDI cable.
MIDI transmits a message called Active Sensing [FE] at reg-
ular intervals. A device that receives this message will be
aware that an external MIDI device is transmitting to it. Sub-
sequently, if no MIDI messages are received for a certain
interval of time, the receiving device will decide that the
connection has been broken, and will turn off any notes that
had been sounded via MIDI and reset its controller values.
Playing the TRITON STUDIO multi-timbrally
from an external device
The TRITON STUDIO can be connected to an external
device and played multi-timbrally in the following ways.
• MIDI messages from the external device can play a
combination (8-part multi-timbral performance). You
can change the overall settings (programs, levels, and
effects) by using program change messages to switch
combinations.
• MIDI messages from the external device can be used to
play a song (16-part multi-timbral performance). Overall
settings (programs, levels, effects etc.) can be changed by
using a Song Select message to switch songs. (Song
Select messages can be received if “MIDI Clock”: Global
P1: 1–1a is set to External MIDI or External mLAN.)
• MIDI Clock messages from the external device can be
used to make the TRITON STUDIO playback a song (set
“MIDI Clock” to External MIDI or External mLAN, and
run the TRITON STUDIO’s sequencer).
(
☞“Synchronizing the playback of the arpeggiator or
sequencer”) You can change the overall settings
(programs, levels, effects) by using song select messages
to switch songs.
Synchronizing the playback of the arpeg-
giator or sequencer
The choice of whether the TRITON STUDIO will be the mas-
ter (the controlling device) or the slave (the controlled
device) is made by “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: 1–1a).
Using the TRITON STUDIO as master and the external
MIDI device as slave
Connect the TRITON STUDIO’s MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device. (
☞p.258)
Alternatively, connect the mLAN connector of the EXB-
mLAN option to an mLAN-compatible device.
• When you set “MIDI Clock” to Internal, the TRITON
STUDIO will be the master device, and will transmit
MIDI timing clock messages.
Arpeggiator:
The tempo can be controlled from the TRI-
TON STUDIO. Simultaneously, the performance of the
arpeggiator will be transmitted via MIDI. (In Combina-
tion, Sequencer, and Song Play modes, data will be trans-
mitted by timbres/tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or
EX2
.) An external tone generator connected to MIDI OUT
will sound, and the tempo of an external sequencer can
be controlled.
Sequencer:
The musical data can be played back and
controlled on the TRITON STUDIO. Simultaneously, the
sequencer playback will be transmitted via MIDI from
tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2. An external
tone generator connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and
the tempo of an external sequencer can be controlled.
However, since exclusive data cannot be recorded on the
TRITON STUDIO’s sequencer, you can use the “Dump
Sequencer” (Global P1: 1–1F) page menu command if the
slave device is the TRITON STUDIO. If the slave device
is another model, you can use the TRITON STUDIO’s
Disk mode data filer function (“Receive and Save MIDI
Exclusive,” “Load and Transmit MIDI Exclusive Data”).

Using the external MIDI device as master and the TRI-
TON STUDIO as slave
Connect the TRITON STUDIO’s MIDI IN connector to the
MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device. (
☞p.258)
Alternatively, connect the mLAN connector of the EXB-
mLAN option to an mLAN-compatible device.
• When you set “MIDI Clock” to External MIDI or
External mLAN , the TRITON STUDIO will be the slave
device.
Arpeggiator:
The tempo will follow the MIDI timing
clock. If you playback the external sequencer, the TRI-
TON STUDIO’s arpeggiator will synchronize to the
external timing clock. (
☞BG p.138)
Even if “MIDI Clock” is External MIDI or External
mLAN
and the TRITON STUDIO is being controlled
from the external device, the performance of the arpeg-
giator will still be transmitted via MIDI. (In Combination
and Sequencer modes, the arpeggiator performance will
be transmitted from timbres/tracks whose “Status” is
BTH
, EXT, or EX2.)
Sequencer: It will not be possible to control the playback
from the TRITON STUDIO; playback will be controlled
by the external device connected to the TRITON STU-
DIO’s MIDI IN. If you wish to playback the external
sequencer to make the TRITON STUDIO’s sequencer
playback in synchronization to the external timing clock,
you must first set the same time signature and starting
measure locations on both devices.
Even if “MIDI Clock” is set to External MIDI or External
mLAN
and the TRITON STUDIO is being controlled
from an external device, musical data will be transmitted
by tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.
Recording musical data from an external
device
There are two ways in which you can play back an external
sequencer and record its playback on the TRITON STUDIO.
• Set “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: 1–1a) to Internal, begin
recording, and then start the external sequencer. With
this method, the MIDI messages will be recorded
without the two devices being synchronized. Since the
