TRITON Training Guide
6 of a Combination, and so on. Bearing in mind that Combinations all fall on the same MIDI channel, the question arises…
…How can the Sequencer keep track of these separate assignments and only record and playback the notes for an intended Track, if all the Tracks are on the same MIDI channel?
The answer is… it can’t!
So we need to take each part that has a specific arpeggiator (A or B) assigned to it and set that Track/Timbre to a different MIDI channel from the other arpeggiated part, AND from the
This brings us to the second part of this “trick” – how can we trigger all the tones at the same time if they’re on different MIDI channels? The Triton sequencer only allows you to be on one track/MIDI channel at a time. The answer lies in creating “Dummy Tracks” - a track that is on the same channel as the rest of the Combination, but is actually turned "Off" under the track's on/off status.
This Dummy Track is assigned to the same Arp. as the track it's going to trigger, but the actual track containing the Program is set to a Channel other than what the rest of the Combination is set to. So what are two approaches to Combination/arpeggiator setups that we mentioned earlier? The first is the many Combinations that have a drum rhythm that plays in the background while you play the keyboard live. These Combinations have already had the drum part set up on a different MIDI channel from the rest of the sounds, and already have the Dummy Track created. These are the easiest Combinations to record – simply use
Tutorial 1.
A Combination which keeps all channels the same regardless of Arp. Trigger would require Tutorial 2 to be followed for correct recording. Examples of these include:
