TRITON Training Guide

The TRITON features dual polyphonic arpeggiators, fully-editable and syncable to MIDI clock and the internal sequencer. There are 237 patterns in memory, including 5 preset and 232 user-patterns. Many of the user-patterns have been pre-programmed, however you can edit any pattern in memory - even copy a pre-programmed pattern to a new user location and edit it, or create your own patterns from scratch! You'll find that Programs and Combinations have arpeggio patterns already assigned to them - some will trigger as soon as you select the sound and play the keyboard, while other patterns are there, waiting to be triggered - you simply turn on the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key (lit), and the pattern assigned will trigger when you play. This is a great way to get an idea of how the Programs and Combinations work in a "song" or performance application!

Working with the Arpeggiator in Program mode

1.Select Program A001: Acoustic Piano, and play the keyboard - nice piano sample, right?

2.Now press the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key (lit).

3.Play the keyboard again…"instant songwriter"! A pattern has been assigned that will work well with this Program - a great way to demo the sound in a "song" or performance context!

4.As the pattern plays, notice the TEMPO LED - it's flashing in time with the pattern. Rotate the TEMPO knob to change the pattern tempo, and note the tempo indicator in the upper-right of the display.

5.Rotate the GATE knob. You'll hear the length of each step in the pattern change from staccato to sustained.

6.Rotate the VELOCITY knob - you'll hear the loudness level of each step in the pattern change - from soft to loud.

7.Press the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key (dark) to turn off the arpeggio pattern.

Tip: Any changes you make to the Tempo, Gate and Velocity knobs can be written to update the selected Program by pressing the REC/WRITE key - a dialog box prompts you with "Update Program". Press "OK" to re-write the selected Program with the new knob values.

Hot-Tip:Use the GATE knob in conjunction with the REALTIME CONTROL A-mode knob 4 (EG RELEASE), and use the VELOCITY knob in conjunction with the REALTIME CONTROL A-mode knobs 1-3
