Recording Combinations with Arpeggiation - Triton

Preface - In the Triton series workstations, Combinations which contain arpeggio patterns are set up using two different approaches. As a result, there are two methods outlined in this tutorial to allow full use of all Combinations in the Triton’s sequencer. Since the setting of arpeggiations vary from Combination to Combination, this tutorial will teach by example using Factory Combis that exhibit these two different behaviors. This information can then be applied to other Combinations you wish to use.

Points to remember about Combinations - A Combination is basically an arrangement of up to eight Programs (singular sounds) that share a MIDI channel. The fact that multiple tracks share the same channel allows you to hear and play these Programs together as a layer or split or both; as opposed to hearing programs one at a time as would be the case with a Multi Channel setup. A Multi Channel Setup would state that each Program had its own MIDI channel, which keeps played information and sound separate for each Program.

Points to remember about arpeggiators - The Triton has the capability to put up to two arpeggio patterns into a Combination, and have those Arps only trigger certain tracks. In other words, Arp. A could be assigned to play only the Program on Track 1 of the Combination. While Arp. B is set to trigger Tracks 3 and
