TRITON Training Guide

Hot -Tip: When checking the timing of a loop in a long phrase it's handy to give the sample more than a 1-step range and play the sample higher than its normal pitch. This fast playback gets you through the phrase quickly, saving a lot of time!

Hot - Tip: Want to turn a 4 bar Groove into a 2 bar Groove? Go to P2 Loop Edit and set the Grid to quarter notes to help you get started…Select End and move it backwards to Beat 8 - zoom in to get an accurate view as desired - set the Grid Resolution finer as desired.

Hot - Tip: If there's a slight "flam" in the End point - even if it's exactly on the Grid line - this might be due to slight inaccuracies in BPM - sometimes your source tempo is fractional (140.22) and TRITON doesn't allow for that adjustment…don't worry - just use your eyes and ears to move the end point backwards to avoid the "bass drum hit" that you so obviously see / hear…Want more help? Check the "Use Zero" checkbox in P1 or P2 Edit pages to help find the zero crossing point for your edit location!

Tip: There's more sampling "tips and tricks" coming soon - in the aptly - named "Sampling Tips and

Tricks" section - later in this guide!
