6. SCSI device connections

By connecting an external SCSI device such as a hard disk drive or CD-R/RW drive to the SCSI connector, you can manage large amounts of data on devices other than the internal hard drive. If a hard disk drive is connected, it can also be specified as the destination when sampling.

☞For details on connecting SCSI devices, refer to PG p.298.

About SCSI devices that can be used with the TRI-

TON STUDIO

•To store data, the TRITON STUDIO can use either DOS-formatted SCSI disks or UDF-formatted CD-R/ RW discs.

•In some cases it will not be possible to use a DOS- format or UDF-format disk that was formatted on a personal computer. As far as possible, please use the TRITON STUDIO to format the disc.

•The TRITON STUDIO can use MO disks of 128 Mbytes, 230 Mbytes, 540 Mbytes, 640 Mbytes, and 1.3 Gbyte capacities.

7. Connections to MIDI equip- ment/computers

Connections to MIDI equipment

The keyboard, controllers, and sequencer etc. of TRITON STUDIO can be used to control an external MIDI tone generator. Conversely, another MIDI keyboard or sequencer can control the tone generator of TRITON STU- DIO to produce sound.

Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI connectors of TRITON STUDIO with the MIDI connectors of your external device.

Connections to a computer

Your performance on the TRITON STUDIO, as well as controller and sequencer data, can be sent to a computer (connected via MIDI interface), and the tone generator of TRITON STUDIO can be played from the computer.

Use a MIDI interface to connect the MIDI connectors of TRITON STUDIO to the MIDI connectors of your computer.

☞PG p.258 “MIDI applications – Connecting MIDI deveices/computers”

Some USB-MIDI interfaces may not be able to trans- mit or receive the TRITON STUDIO’s MIDI exclusive messages.

If the EXB-mLAN option is installed, MIDI messages can be exchanged via the mLAN connector between the TRITON STUDIO and an external mLAN-com- patible MIDI device or a FireWire-capable Macintosh computer. For details on connections, refer to the “EXB-mLAN owner’s manual” included with the EXB-mLAN option.

At present, a TRITON STUDIO MIDI data dump sent via the EXB-mLAN option to a computer cannot be recorded or played back by an OMS-compatible application. (The same applies to the TRITON-Rack.)

8. Installing options

The functionality of the TRITON STUDIO can be extended by installing option boards and/or sample memory. The following six types of options can be installed. For details on installation, refer to PG p.286.

•EXB-MOSS (DSP synthesizer board)

•EXB-DI (Digital interface board)

•EXB-mLAN (mLAN interface board)

•CDRW-1 (CD-R/RW drive)

•EXB-PCM series (PCM expansion boards)

•DRAM SIMM (Memory boards for sample data)
