Features of sampling on the

TRITON STUDIO

•You can perform 48 kHz 16-bit linear mono or stereo sampling.

•The TRITON STUDIO is shipped with 16 Mbytes of sample memory (RAM) and an internal hard drive. When sampling, data is written into either sample memory or the internal hard drive.

The 16 Mbyte sample memory (RAM) allows approxi- mately 2 minutes 54 seconds of mono sampling (or approximately 1 minute 27 seconds of stereo sam- pling). By installing 72-pin SIMM boards, you can expand sample memory to a maximum of 96 Mbytes (three 32 Mbyte SIMM boards; replacing the factory- installed 16 Mbyte SIMM with a 32 Mbyte SIMM). In this case, you can record up to six samples of approxi- mately 2 minutes 54 seconds each (mono) or approxi- mately 1 minute 27 seconds each (stereo), for a total 17 minutes 28 seconds of monaural sampling time (approximately 8 minutes 44 seconds of stereo). Sam- ples you record into sample memory (RAM) can be used as tone generator waveforms. However, this data will be lost when the power of the TRITON STUDIO is turned off, so you must save any sample data that you want to keep.

The hard disk lets you record up to 80 minutes as a sin- gle sample file in either mono or stereo (monaural: approximately 440 Mbytes, stereo: approximately 879 Mbytes). This will create a WAVE file.

If a sample (WAVE file) that was sampled to the hard disk is loaded into sample memory (RAM), it can be used as a tone generator waveform. A sample (WAVE file) of up to 16 Mbytes (mono) or 32 Mbytes (stereo) (if sample memory has been expanded to 32 Mbytes or greater) can be loaded into sample memory (RAM). WAVE files can also be written to the CDRW-1 option or to a CD-R/RW connected to the SCSI connector, to create an audio CD.

•A maximum of 1,000 multisamples and 4,000 samples can be created.

•In Disk mode, you can load multisample/sample data from various types of media.

•Korg format or Akai (S1000/3000 samples, mapped multisamples only) format sample data, and AIFF or WAVE format sample data can be loaded. (Once data has been loaded into the TRITON STUDIO, it will all be treated as Korg format sample data.)

Sample data created on the TRITON STUDIO can be exported (output) as an AIFF or WAVE format sample file.

•The external audio source that you are sampling can be processed by the five insertion effect to apply effects such as a compressor or EQ. The LFO frequency or delay time of the effect can be specified as a BPM value, which is highly effective when sampling phrase loops etc.

(In Sampling mode, only the insert effects can be used. In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes, the master effects can also be used.)

•Sampling can be initiated by the SAMPLING [START/ STOP] key, note-on, threshold, or the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key. (The available methods will depend on the mode.) Threshold allows you to initiate sampling when the input signal exceeds the threshold level you specify. In Sampling mode, you can also specify a pre-trigger setting.

•The analog audio inputs support mic and line level signals. Digital audio input via S/P DIF IN supports 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rates. Digital audio input via mLAN (when the EXB-mLAN option is installed) supports a sampling rate of 48 kHz.

•Audio data can be sampled from an audio CD inserted in the CDRW-1 option or a SCSI-connected external CD-R/RW drive. Sampling in the digital domain from a CD (“ripping”) can also be performed.

•Sampled data can be converted automatically (or manually, using an easy operation) into a program and used with the TRITON STUDIO’s HI synthesis system. (In Sampling mode, use “Convert MS To Program.” In Program, Combination, or Sequencer mode, use “Select Bank & Smpl No.”) Once a multisample/sample has been converted into a program, you can make filter, amp, and effect settings and play it as a program. Such a program can also be used in Combination mode or Sequencer mode. Samples you record can also be used as drum samples in a drum kit.

Sampling in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes

•A performance in Program, Combination, or Sequencer modes can be resampled internally, with all audio remaining in digital form. This lets you resample a performance that uses the TRITON STUDIO’s filters, effects, arpeggiator, and sequencer etc.

•External audio sources from the various input jacks can be sampled. A performance played on the TRITON STUDIO can be mixed with the external audio source and sampled, or you can sample just the external audio source while monitoring the performance played on the TRITON STUDIO. The master effects can also be applied to the signal being sampled.

•In Sequencer mode when you sample an external audio source while listening to the playback of the song, note data can be automatically created in a track. This “In-Track Sampling” function lets you sample vocals or guitar while you play the sequencer – just as if you were recording on a multi-track recorder.

•The song playback in Sequencer mode can be resampled to the hard disk. Then in Disk mode, you can edit the order of songs and use the CDRW-1 option to write them as an audio CD.

Editing in Sampling mode

•In Sampling mode, the sample data you sampled or loaded from various media (including WAVE and AIFF formats) can be assigned to an index (zone) to create a multisample.
