Preparations for sampling

The multisample and sample data in the sample memory (RAM) is not backed up when the power is turned off. If you wish to keep this data, you must save it onto a floppy disk, internal hard drive or external SCSI device before turning off the power. When the power is first turned on, memory will not contain any multisample or sample data. You must first load previously-saved data before you can play- back or edit any sample data (☞p.37).

1.Connecting an input device and making Input settings

Connecting an input device

Here’s how to connect an external audio source. On the TRITON STUDIO you can input audio signals from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, the S/P DIF IN jack, or the mLAN jack (if the EXB-mLAN option is installed).

1Connect the audio source that you want to input.

•Input from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks Connect a mic, guitar, or CD player etc. to the rear panel AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.

Set the AUDIO INPUT [MIC/LINE] switch as appro- priate for the device you are inputting.

If a mic is connected, set this to the MIC position.

If a guitar or analog audio device is connected, set this to the LINE position.

Guitars with active pickups can be input directly. However if your guitar has a passive-type pickup (i.e., without a built-in preamp), the mismatch in impedance levels will make it difficult to sample at an appropriate level. Such instruments should be routed through a preamp or effect unit before they are con- nected.

•Input from the S/P DIF IN jack

Connect the optical digital output jack of your DAT etc. to the rear panel S/P DIF IN jack. (☞PG p.138)

•Input from the mLAN connector (if the EXB-mLAN option is installed)

Connect the IEEE 1394 connector (“FireWire” style) of your mLAN device or computer to the rear panel mLAN connector.

☞Refer to the owner’s manual of the EXB-mLAN option.

Input settings

One set of Input settings are maintained by Sampling mode, and a different set of Input settings are shared by Combination, Program, Sequencer, Song Play, and Disk mode. This latter set is saved as Global mode parameters. Normally you will set these in Global mode; however, these same settings can also be made from the other modes.

These settings can be made in the following pages.

Mode	Page
Sampling	Sampling P0: Recording, Input/Setup
Combination,	Combination P0: Play, Sampling
Program,	Program P0: Play, Sampling
Sequencer,	Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Sampling
Song Play,	Global P0: Basic Setup, Input/Sampling
Disk	Disk, Play Audio CD

Sampling can be performed in Sampling, Combina- tion, Program, and Sequencer modes.

2Select the page for making Input settings.

As an example, here’s how to make settings in Sam- pling mode and in Program mode.

•Sampling mode

Press the [SAMPLING] key to enter Sampling mode. Press the Input Setup tab to access the P0: Recording, Input/Setup page.

•Program mode

Press the [PROG] key to enter Program mode. Press the Sampling tab to access the P0: Play, Sampling page.

3Use “Input” to select the input source.

If you want to sample the input from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, set “Input” to Analog.

If you want to sample the input from the S/P DIF IN jack, set “Input” to S/P DIF.

If you want to sample the input from the mLAN con- nector, set “Input” to mLAN (selectable if the EXB- mLAN option is installed).
