• When installing the battery, be careful not to drop it
inside the device.
If you drop the battery inside the device and are unable
to retrieve it, please contact your Korg distributor.
About option boards/memory/calen-
dar battery
By installing option boards or memory into your TRITON
STUDIO, you can expand its functionality. The following six
types of expansion are possible.
●
EXB-MOSS (DSP synthesizer board)
This adds to the TRITON STUDIO a MOSS tone generator
that provides thirteen oscillator algorithms, including Stan-
dard, Ring Modulation, VPM, Resonance, Organ Model, and
Electric Piano Model. This lets you use the MOSS tone gen-
erator in program, combination, multi modes. The MOSS
tone generator has six-note polyphony.
●
EXB-DI (digital interface board)
The six channels of the TRITON STUDIO’s AUDIO OUT-
PUT jacks (MAIN) L/MONO, R, (INDIVIDUAL) 1–4 (ana-
log audio outputs) will be output as 24 bit 48 kHz digital
signals on channels 1–6 of the ADAT optical format. By
using the WORD CLOCK IN jack, digital audio signals can
be synchronized between the TRITON STUDIO and a con-
nected device.
●
EXB-mLAN (mLAN Interface Board)
This is an option board for connecting the TRITON STUDIO
to an mLAN system. Installing an EXB-mLAN allows the
TRITON STUDIO to be connected easily via an IEEE 1394
cable to other mLAN-compatible electronic musical instru-
ments and computers, enabling high-capacity transmission
and reception of MIDI and audio data. (An EXB-mLAN
installed in the TRITON STUDIO provides 2-in/6-out chan-
nels of digital audio at a sampling frequency of 48 kHz.)
This is a great convenience when using recording software
on your computer. Included software allows the connection
status of connected devices to be flexibly programmed from
your computer, and OMS/ASIO drivers for Macintosh are
also included.
●
CDRW-1 (CD-R/RW drive)
A song you create on the TRITON STUDIO can be sampled
to the internal hard disk, and that data can be used to create
an audio CD. You can also play back an audio CD inserted
in the CDRW-1, or use the Ripping function to read it into
the TRITON STUDIO. This drive can also be used to save/
load data such as PCG files (packet writing is supported
☞p.299).
●
EXB-PCM series (PCM expansion boards)
Each of these boards adds 16 Mbytes of multisamples and
drum samples to the TRITON STUDIO. (The details will dif-
fer according to the series.)
* As of March 2002
■
DRAM SIMM (sample data memory modules)
These can be used as sample data memory. Up to two 72-pin
DRAM SIMM (either 16 Mbytes or 32 Mbytes) modules can
be installed, providing a maximum of 64 Mbytes. (
tion when purchasing DRAM SIMM modules”)
DRAM SIMM boards are not a manufacturer option.
Please purchase commercially-available boards that are
sold for use in computers.
In order to achieve the maximum 96 Mbytes capacity,
you will need to remove the 16 Mbytes DRAM SIMM
that is standard, and install three 32 Mbytes DRAM
SIMM boards.
The memory banks and sampling time will depend on
the capacity of the DRAM SIMM boards you install,
and on the slot locations. (
Caution when purchasing DRAM SIMM modules
Some commercially available DRAM SIMM modules
cannot be used on the TRITON STUDIO. Before you
purchase memory modules, please check the following
points.
Types of DRAM SIMM modules that can be used on the
TRITON STUDIO
• 72-pin 16 Mbytes or 32 Mbytes
• Access time of 60 ns or less
• Address input 11 bit (A0–A10)
• Power supply voltage 5 V
DRAM SIMM modules that meet the above requirements
can be used.
If you have any questions regarding the type of DRAM
SIMM modules that can be used, please contact
your local
Korg distributor

■
Calendar battery
This battery maintains the date and time that are recorded
when data is saved. Use a CR2032 type battery.
CR2032 batteries that can be used in the TRITON STUDIO
• CR2032 batteries manufactured by Sony or Panasonic.
Checking after installation
When the TRITON STUDIO is turned on, the currently
installed option boards/memory will be shown in the
LCD screen.
After installing an option board/memory, be sure to
turn on the power and make sure that the option
board/memory that you installed is displayed in the
LCD screen.
If it is not displayed, the installation may not have been
performed correctly. Check once again that the board is
installed correctly.
If the calendar battery is not installed correctly, or if the
battery voltage has run low, the LCD screen will show a
message of “Battery voltage for calendar IC is low”
when the power is turned on. Please make sure that
you are using a battery that has not run down, and that
the battery is installed correctly.
