5. S/P DIF

OUT(MAIN) jack

This is an optical type S/P DIF format (IEC60958, EIAJ CP-1201) digital output jack.

It outputs a digital version of the same audio signal as the AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R jacks, at sam- pling rates of 48 kHz or 96 kHz (☞PG p.138).

Use an optical cable to connect this to the optical digital input jack of a DAT or MD, etc.

The [VOLUME] slider does not adjust the output level of this jack.

IN jack

This is an optical S/P DIF format (IEC 60958, EIAJ CP- 1201) digital input jack.

Digital audio at a sample rate of 48 kHz or 96 kHz can be input here. 96 kHz audio will be converted to 48 kHz. (☞PG p.138)

Use an optical cable to connect this jack to the optical digi- tal output jack of a DAT or other device.

6. SCSI connector

This is a D-sub half-pitch 50 pin SCSI connector.

An external hard disk drive can be connected here and used to sample or to save/load data in the same way as the internal hard disk drive. A CD-R/RW can also be con- nected here to create an audio CD or to save/load data. (☞p.59, 118)

7. MIDI

MIDI THRU connector

Musical data and sound settings etc. that are received at the MIDI IN connector are re-transmitted without change from the MIDI THRU connector.

You can use this to connect multiple MIDI devices (☞PG p.258).

MIDI OUT connector

Musical data and sound settings etc. are transmitted from this connector.

Use this to control another MIDI device connected via this port to the TRITON STUDIO (☞PG p.258).

MIDI IN connector

Musical data and sound settings etc. are received at this connector.

Use this to play the TRITON STUDIO from another MIDI device connected to this port (☞PG p.258).

8. DAMPER jack

An optional switch-type pedal such as the Korg DS-1H damper pedal can be connected here.

If a DS-1H is connected, it will function as a half-damper pedal. If another switch-type pedal is connected, it will function as a damper switch. In order to ensure that the pedal functions correctly, please adjust the polarity and the half-damper sensitivity (☞p.11, PG p.137, 146).

9. ASSIGNABLE

SWITCH jack

An optional on/off foot switch such as the Korg PS-1 foot switch can be connected here (☞p.11).

Its function can be assigned in Global mode, allowing you to use the foot switch as a modulation controller, to select

programs or combinations, or to start/stop the sequencer (☞p.125).

PEDAL jack

An optional Korg EXP-2 or XVP-10 expression pedal can be connected here (☞p.11).

Its function can be assigned in Global mode, allowing you to use the pedal to control the volume etc. (☞p.124)

10. [Contrast adjustment] knob

This adjusts the contrast of the LCD screen.

The optimal setting will depend on the height or angle from which you view the screen display, so please adjust as necessary.

11. EXB-DI (option)

OUT jack

This is an ADAT optical format digital output connector. It outputs the six channels of the TRITON STUDIO’s AUDIO OUTPUT jacks (MAIN) L/MONO, R, (INDIVID- UAL) 1, 2, 3, 4 (analog audio outputs) as digital audio with a sampling rate of 48 kHz. These signals are output as channels 1 through 6 of the ADAT optical format.

By connecting this to the DIGITAL IN jack of an ADAT Optical format compatible mixer, amp, or recorder, you can output the audio signal of the TRITON STUDIO in digital form. Use an optical cable made by the Alesis Cor- poration or an optical cable for CD/DAT (both sold sepa- rately) to make this connection (☞p.11, PG p.286, 300). The [VOLUME] slider does not adjust the output level of this connector.

48 kHz WORD CLOCK IN jack

Connect this to the WORD CLOCK OUT jack of an ADAT Optical format compatible mixer or remote controller. Use this when you want the connected device to be the word clock master and the TRITON STUDIO to be the word clock slave for synchronization. Use an BNC coax cable made by the Alesis Corporation or a video BNC cable (both sold separately) to make this connection.

12. EXB-mLAN (option)

A special cable is used to connect mLAN-compatible devices or computers. (☞p.12, PG p.286)

mLAN (IEEE 1394) 1, 2, 3 jacks

SERIAL I/O connector

For details refer to the manual included with the EXB- mLAN option.

What is mLAN?

mLAN is a new standard for musical instruments that uses the general-purpose IEEE 1394 (“FireWire”) interface (a general-pur- pose interface with a wide range of uses including current and dig- ital AV devices) with a special transmission protocol for musical data. It allows high quality digital audio and MIDI data to be simul- taneously transmitted and received over a single cable. At a trans- mission speed of 200 Mbps, approximately 100 channels of audio data or 256 ports of MIDI data (i.e., 16 channels x 256 connectors) can be transmitted and received over a single cable.

mLAN provides unprecedented flexibility, allowing you to daisy- chain up to 63 devices, and even to reconfigure the input and out- put connections between devices without actually disconnecting the mLAN cable. Even sophisticated setups in the studio or on stage are made easy by mLAN.
