TRITON Training Guide

Now back to the Pattern Setup Tab:

1.Press the Pattern Setup tab button (lower-left). Let's take a look at these parameters in the display:

Arpeggio Pattern Setup

Arpeggio Tone Mode:

Normal - This is the normal setting for patterns. Pitches for the pattern will be developed and played according to the note that is pressed.

Fixed Note - Specifies the note number for the selected tone.

In the pattern you're working with, the Tone Mode setting of Normal allows you to sound all the tones polyphonically - from the keyboard. If the Tone Mode is set to Fixed, and the Fixed Note Mode is set to Trigger All Tones, playing a single note on the keyboard will sound all the tones in each step.

Note: Fixed note mode requires that you define the pitches for each Tone # and is usually used for grid-style drum programming. In this way you define Tone 00 as your bass drum, Tone 01 as your snare etc. We'll take a look at this in a few minutes.

Now to show you just how cool these functions can be:

1.Press the PROG key to exit GLOBAL mode, then Select Program A052 Psycho Kit.

2.Press the ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF key to turn the Arpeggiator ON.

3.Play and hold any note on the keyboard…

"Wait a minute! What's going on here?"

4.Press the GLOBAL key to enter GLOBAL mode - you'll jump right back to the last Global page you were working with - User Arpeggio - Pattern Setup tab.

5.Check out the settings - the pattern assigned to Program A052 is U170 Acid Drum, and the Arpeggio Tone Mode is set to Fixed Note. The Fixed Note Mode is set to Trigger All Tones.

6.Press the Pattern Edit tab to see the Step grid and it's parameters. The pattern tempo is 228 - allowing for some intricate "jungle" snare rolls.

7.Look at the Step grid - Tones 0,1,10 and 11 (from bottom to top) are placed along the Step grid to create this very funky pattern, and the blue dots you saw in the previous example are now white dots - this indicates that the pattern is in Fixed Note mode.
