Oh... Do you have the related answer too? If yes, contact the FAQmaster and give him the question and answer. He will add it to the FAQ.

Don't ask the FAQmaster questions without answers! Please use mailing lists, Triton Heaven for example.

Huh, contact the FAQmaster and he will correct it.

Only the number of keys:

All the rest (main features plus extensions) is the same.

Maybe you didn't receive all the three preload disks. You can download the "C-D Banks" disks here.

Early Tritons came with 3 disks. Preload disk 1 had banks A/B programs and combi's.Preload disk 2 has sample data for the demo's. Disk 3 was a made in the U.S. disk containing banks A/B/C/D programs and combi's as well as the demo's from disk 1. This disk has an id #TNFD-00PUS. The new Tritons now come with just 2 disks that contain all the data.

"Reset" the triton like this: Pressing down Button "0" and Button "Enter" and switch power on. Thats an initialize.

You can set date time in Disk/Utilities/Menu/Set Date/Time. The Triton store the date and time you set after power off. However the date/time is not updated by a clock, it must be manually updated for the time stamps on your disk files to be correct.

Here's a non exhaustive list. At bootup:

No. Only SCSI drives are recognized, if you own the SCSI extension board. If you want, you can remove the disk drive and replace it by a SCSI zip drive, but this operation is quite "dangerous"...

Most of each parameter page of programs/combinations have "AMS" zones. Change them to use joystick, controllers, ...

Of course, it is! And you can do more: you can split by position (note) and by velocity range. All of that is possible in Combination or Sequencer modes.

It's a computer serial cable for those who don't have a MIDI controller. It works like a MIDI in/out connector.

Ask your dealer for the "AG001B" (PC) or "AG002B" (Mac) cable and drivers. For Mac users: you need a serial connector. New Mac don't have it by default.

There exists USB MIDI and audio devices; it depends if you want to do MIDI and/or audio. Contact you computer dealer.

No. Maybe it will be a new extension card?

Go to global, then "menu" and controller. Modify the damper "polarity" (change the sign). Don't forget to save this setup by pressing the "rec/write" button.

OS 2.0. It has MANY enhancements. See the download section of this site to find where to download it.

No. There actually are only one kind of OS version, the English one. There is no Japanese or Spanish version by now. This OS from Korg Japan will displays all his messages in English.

YES, of course!

No.

In fact, this file is a compressed archive (Zip or whatever), that holds the contents of three high density IBM-formatted diskettes (MS-DOS format, 1.44 MB).

First, uncompress that file to you hard disk (with Unzip, for example).

Then, copy the CONTENT of "disk1" to a blank (formated) diskette. Do the same for the two other disks. You are ready for the upgrade!

Those three "zip" (or "exe") files are not recognized by the Triton: they are "archived". You have first to uncompress them and copy the result of uncompression to three separate diskettes. Please read the README information given with that files to know how exactly to uncompress them.

Combination programs just shut off the notes (unless maybe the next combo has the same programs, but I am not sure).

Program mode oscillators do carry through on prog change, and the effects for the current program take over, so it isn't usually very smooth.

Assign the midi channel of the track to "external"

Have you also copied the insert and master effects of that sound to the track? If not, the sounds are "dry" (i.e., without effects).

It's normal, because you can assign only one instrument and MIDI channel per track.

Yes.

You can use maximum 5 inserts effects for all the tracks. You have thus to choose which effects assign for each track.

Quantize your track(s) with the "triplet" ("3") value.

You have to go to DISK mode (press the DISK button). Press the save tab on the bottom of the screen, then press the save icon on the top right-hand corner of the screen. A menu will pop up and you will choose "SAVE SEQ" from that menu.

Yes, it's in RAM. But the templates and preload pattern are saved in "permanent" Flash RAM.

Maybe you have not the GM Program Change mode selected. Press GLOBAL, then MENU, and select the MIDI page. You will be able to select the KORG or GM2 ProgramChange mode. Write this setting in memory using the "Write Global Setting" command under the page menu.

No, but you can record and play System Exclusive messages in Disk mode

Assign the midi channel of the track to "external"

This is actually very easy, just select the songs in the order you want them in the cue list and they will be played in that order. Think of your songs as parts instead. For each song you can decide how many times you want it repeated. You can also decide if you want each song to have different effects. However, the last doesn't work very well because loading effects take time so you get a delay during the playback. You can also convert your cuelist to a song when you have finished everything. However, when you do this, the setup for the effects from the first entry in the cue list is used and effect setups for the other entries in the list is ignorded. But it works good if you remember this.

No. A cue list can only play songs in the sequencer memory.

Select these measures on a track, then delete them with the option "delete all tracks".

[OS2] You can also change the length of the song with the "Set Song Length" feature in the menu page 5.

In Event Edit, press "insert" and change "note" to "prog" for example.

Select "Overdub" (not "Overwrite") in "Recording Setup", tab "Preferences" and press record. Then change the values of pan/volume. It will be recorded.

You can also change the velocities of the notes in "Track Edit" mode (page 5, menu "Modify Velocity")

An other solution is to insert "Control Change" data in the track (Sequencer mode page 5, Menu "Create Control Data"). The Control Number for volume is 7, Pan is 10.

In sequencer mode Page 5, use the menu "Erase Ctrl Data". The Control number for volume is 7; for pan, it's 10.

In Sequencer mode page 5 (Track edit), select the Master Track, select the measure where to insert the tempo change, then step edit it (menu "Event Edit"). Press the "Insert" button and modify the tempo value if necessary.

Yes, this can be done:

Copy a combi to seq along with fx and arpps then you can be controlling this 8 or less tracks along with your 16

I mean in theory you could be controlling 16 tracks, with 16 splits.

I had a live set up one time that had 4 splits (some sounds on the furthest left,.then one octave of a hard weird synth sound, then up from that a bass sound,..then the upper two octaves had a symphonic string section). All of this was being played live with a drummer to 12 other tracks that were sequenced. Tracks 15 and 16 were routed out 1 and 2 for the drummer,...one for his left headphone, and one for his right. Instead of a monotinous metronome I gave him a meaty snare, bass, and highhats, that built with the song so he could know where he was at.

Any 72 pin SIMM RAM, EDO or Fast-Page compatible, with at least 60 ns access time (max 2x32 Mb).

No. They are saved in RAM. You have to save it to disk and reload it after power-on.

Once you have defined your samples/MS (index, keys, etc ..) and the program using this MS, save (of course) the program in the non volatile memory, select DISK > SAVE > Sampling Data. Give the name of the ".ksc" file, select "All" and then "OK". That's all. The triton creates a ".ksc" file as well as a directory (with the same name as the ksc file) containing all the sample and MS files (.ksf & .kmp). When turning on your triton, you have to select DISK > LOAD, select the ".ksc" file you have saved before and then LOAD > Load selected.

YES! in the OS 2.0.0.

This is an old conversation. I believe Resampling is possible on the Triton. Try this experiment:

Steps to show Korg basic resampling ability:

Now this shows that the Triton has at least the ability reroute output audio back to input via the effects. You can add effects after the sample hold effect and record with those effects.

Korg just needs to clean up the implementation.

-Tech

Load the sample into memory, then in Sampler mode, assign it in a multisample and play it by pressing a key in the zone assigned in the multisample for it. You then copy your multisample into a program.

No.

To play Standard Midi Files.

It's simply ".MID".

Yes: you can "enter into the file" by pressing "open" and select the bank, or go further and choose a program or combi.

No. The smallest unit is a bank.

No. You can only load Trinity Samples, if they don't use compression.

Record the arpeggio to the sequencer using "multiRec" and then play that sequence and send it via MIDI. [Is it possible to send MIDI info in Prog or Combi mode?]

No you can not set the tempo of the arpeggiator and the sequencer independently.

Use TVF (Time Variant Filter). Take a look at some preset sounds and base your sound from that preset.

The insert effects apply to only one program (in Combi mode) or track (in Sequencer), while the master effects are global.

Yes, it is! For example, is it possible to modulate an internal sounds via human voice (Mic+preamp at inputs).

In Global mode P1 set the Triton's MIDI clock to "EXTERNAL MIDI".

With Triton, you can have:

So, switch to Sequencer mode to have the maximum multitimbral capabilities when programming songs from an extrnal sequencer.

Don't forget copy the insert effects of the used programs/combis into the tracks...

It's because your sequencer (or MIDI controller) does "Midi Thru", echoing every input note to the sequencer's output. Two solutions:

SysEx means System Exclusive. These are MIDI messages that are addressed for a particular synth, so you can send these messages and only the correct synth will respond to them. Files which contain only SysEx messages usually have a .SYX file extension.

The two main uses for SysEx are:

SysEx also allows you to access most of the functions of the synth that you can access from the keyboard via MIDI messages.

Go to Global mode, find System Preference/Bank Map, set that to Korg, it defaults to GM, that's why you can't get out of Bank G.

This is a little more tricky, you have to find the 'controller' section in your sequenceprogram. Most of the time you can find it in some 'eventwindow' or something like that.

Controller are:

you need the following controllers: msb (controller 0) and lsb (controller 32)

here's the scheme: also see p.115 in the Parameter Guide

The problem it seems is with Windows 98. The Win.ini file must be purgedof any reference to drivers to Com port 1. Windows 95 does not suffer this problem, as it allocates the driver specifically to com port 1 and disregards the rest. Laptops in particular are also vulnerable to this problem as the Infra red driver is assigned to Com port 1. Even when the driver is disabled, on boot up, Win98 recognizes the fact that it spots a new device (Infra red) and loads immediately the driver back in again.

Yes. In Combi an Sequencer modes, you can assign 1 to 6 MOSS voices to a track: in the Zone control, select the MOSS setup tab and reconfigure the number of voices on each track.

You have to "assign voices" to tracks: press "Menu" and then select P4: Zone/Ctrl. Select a MOSS Tab "1-8" or "9-16" depending on what track you are using (only visible if you have the MOSS expansion).

Tadaaa!!! Here you can assign voices to your tracks, but remember: Total Max: 6 voices.

In the lower part of the screen you can also assign what track to use as refference for applying insert effects. Note that you can't assign more than one insert "track" to the MOSS.

The EXB expansion chip is only a SAMPLE extension. You can then use them in programs. The diskette deliverded with the chip gives you a bank of programs and combinations using it. There are two files: "BANK_C.PCG" and "BANK_D.PCG". They are the same as the original "PRELOAD.PCG" file, except that one bank (C or D) of programs and combinations (C or D) is overwritten by the new programs.

The programs/combis loaded and extension samples (in ROM) are permanently kept in memory (until you load an other PCG). You don't need to reload the disk at powerup.

It's 7. This value is fixed.

No. Only the Korg Triton's one.

Yes, if there is no conflict with SCSI IDs, terminations and voltages.

FAT (MS-DOS), AKAI.

BUT NOT: FAT32 (Windows 9*), HPFS/NTFS (OS/2, Windows NT/2000), MAC...

The triton can access disks or partitions of up to 4GB. It will only use the first partiton on a disk if there are more than one.

Not yet. Maybe in a future OS?
