Working with a Combination

Combinations have been a big part of the Korg sound legacy over the years, and the TRITON offers a huge palette of Combinations with many new features!

1.Press the EXIT key to go to the Combination Play page, then press BANK key A.

2.With the Numeric keys, press 0, then press the ENTER key to select Combination A000: Romance Layers.

3.Play the keyboard to get an idea of how great this Combination sounds. Work with the Ribbon and Real- time Control knobs while you play.

4.Now…press the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key (lit) to turn the Arpeggiator ON.

5.Play again - Welcome to the world of Dual Polyphonic Arpeggiators, running simultaneously - as part of your Combinations! Take time to enjoy playing and listening to this Combination in a "song context"- thanks to TRITON's powerful Arpeggiators!

6.Press the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key (dark) to turn off the Arpeggiator.

7.Press the Category popup button above the Combination name field. The currently - selected Keyboard category's Combinations are displayed, with 16 Category tabs on both sides of the center menu.

8.Press the 12 BassSplits tab, then use the Scroll Bar to move to the second group of 16 Combinations in this category.

9.Press C097 Bumpin'&Thumpin', then press OK to go to the Combination Play page.

10.Play a note - anywhere on the keyboard. You'll automatically trigger the arpeggio pattern assigned. This Combination is a Split of two basses and two electric pianos, as indicated by the Category, Bank and Program fields in each column of timbres. Play in the lower range - up to Middle-C, to hear the bass, and above Middle-C, play the electric piano timbres.

11.At the bottom of the display, notice the Status for each timbre - in this Combination, five timbres are set to play INT (internal) Programs, and three timbres are OFF.

12.Keep that "thumpin'" beat goin', and check out the Controllers for this Combination - while you play a bass line, slide your finger across the Ribbon and work with the Real-time Control knobs while you play chords in the upper range. Press the Real-time Control key to go to the A -mode controls for the knobs, and work with the knobs as you play.

13.Press the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key (lit) to turn the Arpeggiator OFF (dark).
