Settings for status, MIDI channel, and pitch parameters P2: Edit-Trk Param

MIDI Ch page

Status

Here you can specify the MIDI status of the internal tone generator assigned to each timbre. Normally when play- ing the internal tone generator of TRITON STUDIO, you will set this to INT. Set this to Off for timbres that you are not using. With settings of Off, EXT, or EX2, TRITON STUDIO will not sound. With settings of EXT or EX2, you can control an external tone generator connected via MIDI. (☞PG p.38)

MIDI Channel

Timbres that you wish to play from TRITON STUDIO’s keyboard must be set to the global MIDI channel. Your playing on the keyboard is transmitted on the global MIDI channel, and will sound any timbre that matches this channel. Normally you will set this to Gch. When this is set to Gch, the MIDI channel of the timbre will always match the global MIDI channel, even if you change the global MIDI channel.

On some preloaded combinations that use the arpeg- giator, timbres assigned to the arpeggiator may not have a “Status” of INT and “MIDI Ch” of Gch.

The reason for this is that these settings are for timbres that sound only when the arpeggiator is on. This is a very useful technique for creating combinations that use the arpeggiator. Refer to “Arpeggiator settings in Combination and Sequencer modes” (☞p.132, PG p.44), and study the relationship between arpeggiator assignments, “Status,” and “MIDI Channel.”

Bank Select (when status=EX2)

This setting is valid when “Status” is set to EX2. It speci- fies the Bank Select message that will be transmitted from

TRITON STUDIO.

OSC page

Force OSC Mode

Normally you will set this to PRG (the oscillator will play as set by the program settings).

If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound monophonically, set this either to MN (Mono) or LGT (Legato). Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to force a monophonic program to play polyphonically (☞PG p.38).

OSC Select

Normally you will set this to BTH (Both).

If the timbre is using a program whose “Oscillator Mode” is Double, and you want only OSC1 or OSC2 (not both) to sound, set this to OSC1 (only OSC1 will sound) or OSC2 (only OSC2 will sound).

Portamento

Normally you will set this to PRG.

If you want to overide the portamento setting specified in the program assigned to the timbre to be forced off, set this parameter to Off. Conversely, if you want to force the portamento to be on, or to change the portamento time, set this to a value of 001–127to specify the portamento time.

Pitch page

Transpose, Detune (BPM Adjust)

These parameters adjust the pitch of the timbre.

•In a layer-type combination, you can set two or more timbres to the same program, and create a richer sound by using “Transpose” to shift their pitch apart by an octave or by using “Detune” to create a slight difference in pitch between the two.

•In split-type combinations, you can use “Transpose” to shift the pitch (in semitone units) of the programs specified for each key zone.

•If you wish to change the playback pitch of a drum program, use “Detune.” If you change the “Transpose” setting, the relationship between notes and drum sounds will change.
