MIDI Channel [1…16]

Sets the global MIDI channel.

The global MIDI channel is used in the following cases.

•When transmitting and receiving performance data in Program mode (PROG 1.1: Play) and Sampling mode (if the EXB-SMPL option is installed).

•When selecting combinations via MIDI in Combination mode (COMBI 1.1: Play).

•When controlling timbres or effects that have been set to Gch in various modes

•When transmitting and receiving system exclusive messages

About MIDI reception

In Program mode (PROG 1.1: Play) and Sampling mode (if the EXB-SMPL option is installed), MIDI data is received on the global MIDI channel, but in Combination mode (COMBI 1.1: Play) or Sequencer mode, MIDI data is received on the MIDI channel specified for each timbre or track.

In Combination mode (COMBI 1.1: Play), program changes received on the global MIDI channel will switch the combi- nation.

Use the global MIDI channel to switch IFX , MFX1 and MFX2 on/off. To control the pan following IFX, sends 1/2, MFX 1/2 and MEQ, use the global MIDI channel in Program mode; in Combination, or Sequencer mode, use the channel specified sep- arately by “Control Channel” for IFX, MFX1, MFX2, and MEQ. By setting “Control Channel” to Gch, you can control these parameters from the global MIDI channel.

MIDI transmission when this instrument’s controllers are operated

In Program mode and Sampling mode (if the EXB-SMPL option is installed), this data will be transmitted on the glo- bal MIDI channel. In Combination mode, data will be trans- mitted simultaneously on the global MIDI channel and on the MIDI channels of timbres whose “Status” (COMBI 3.1–1) is set to EXT or EX2.

In Sequencer mode, musical data will be transmitted on the channel specified for the currently selected track (whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2).

Note Receive [All, Even, Odd]

This setting specifies which of the note messages played on this instrument’s keyboard or received via MIDI will be sounded. If you connect another TRITON Le unit to this instrument in order to increase the total polyphony, set one unit to Even and the other to Odd, and set both units to sound.

All: All note numbers will be received. Normally you will leave this set to All.

Even: Even-numbered notes (C, D, E, F#, G#, A#) will sound.

Odd: Odd-numbered notes (C#, D#, F, G, A, B) will sound.

ODD	EVEN

This setting has no effect on the MIDI data that is received.

MIDI Clock [Internal, External]

Set this parameter when you wish to synchronize an exter- nal MIDI device (sequencer or rhythm machine etc.) with the TRITON Le’s internal arpeggiator or sequencer.

Internal: The internal arpeggiator and sequencer will syn- chronize to the TRITON Le’s own internal clock.

Select the Internal setting when using the TRITON Le by itself, or when you want the TRITON Le to be the master (controlling device) so that another connected external MIDI device will synchronize to the MIDI Clock messages trans- mitted from the TRITON Le.

External: The arpeggiator and sequencer of the TRITON Le will synchronize to MIDI Clock messages transmitted from an external MIDI device connected to the MIDI IN connec- tor.

Use the External setting when you are using this instrument as a slave (controlled device) that synchronizes to the MIDI Clock messages received from an external MIDI device. This instrument will respond to MIDI real-time messages (Start, Stop, Continue, Song Select, Song Position Pointer) from an external sequencer.

Audition playback will occur at the pre-specified tempo, regardless of the “MIDI Clock” setting.

Convert Position [PreMIDI, PostMIDI]

This setting specifies the location at which the Transpose, Velocity Curve, and After Touch Curve settings will be applied. This setting will affect the MIDI data that is trans- mitted and received, and the data that is recorded on the internal sequencer.

When using this instrument’s keyboard to play the internal tone generator, the Transpose, Velocity Curve, and After Touch Curve settings will always take effect regardless of this setting.

PreMIDI: Velocity Curve, After Touch Curve, and Trans- pose will be applied to the data that is transmitted from this instrument’s keyboard.

This means that the Velocity Curve, After Touch Curve, and Transpose settings will affect the data that is transmitted from MIDI OUT when this instrument’s keyboard is played, and the data that is recorded on the internal sequencer. MIDI data received from MIDI IN or the data played back by the internal sequencer will not be affected.
