TRITON Training Guide

Tip: As you work with and learn TRITON's sequencer functions and more about RPPR, you'll discover that

you can select new tracks with different Programs, create patterns based on the Programs in each track, and

Multi-record them to the internal (or external) sequencer with their assigned RPPR patterns! You can

overdub on any recorded tracks, as well as adding real-time solo lines, etc. over the RPPR patterns! The

RPPR patterns are recorded as note data, so you can save your completed songs as TRITON - based

sequences - or as Standard MIDI Files!
