to L000). When you are inputting a monaural audio source, you will normally set this to C064.

“BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select”: In the same way as for the oscillator of a program, specify the bus to which the external audio source from AUDIO INPUT jacks 1 and 2 will be sent.

“Send 1 (to MFX1)”, “Send 2 (to MFX2)”: In the same way as for the oscillator of a program, specify the level at which the external audio source from AUDIO INPUT jacks 1 and 2 will be sent to the mas- ter effects. This setting can be made only if “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” is L/R or Off (☞p.107).

If “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” is set to IFX1–5, this is set by “Send 1” and “Send 2” (Insert Fx tab) after the sound has passed through the insert effects.

If “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” has a setting other than Off, and you raise the “Level” value, the external audio source will be input to the TRITON. At this time if audio cables are connected to the rear panel AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, noise may be input to the TRITON via the AD converter even if no audio input is actually present, and depend- ing on the settings, may be output from AUDIO OUTPUT L/R, 1, 2, 3, or 4. If you will not be using an external audio source, but are using only the internal sounds of a program, combination, or song, set “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” to Off, or set “Level” to 0.

If no audio cables are connected to the rear panel AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, the data that is input to the TRITON from the AD converter will be set to zero, and no noise will be output.

About dynamic modulation (Dmod)

Dynamic modulation (Dmod) is a function that lets you use the TRITON’s controllers or MIDI messages to control specific effect parameters while you play, to make the effects change in realtime.

The BPM/MIDI Sync function also lets you control effect parameters in a similar way. This can be used to synchronize the LFO speed of a modulation-type effect or the delay time of a delay-type effect etc. to the tempo of the arpeggiator or sequencer.

For details on each of these functions, refer to “Appen- dices: Dynamic modulation” (☞p.214 in the Parameter Guide).

Setting example:

We will show how you can use dynamic modulation to control an effect parameter in realtime.

1As described in the procedure for “Effect settings for a program” (☞p.107), set “IFX1” to 049: L/C/R

BPM Delay. Verify that a delay sound is being out- put.

2Select the IFX1 tab.

Using Dmod to change the delay level by moving the joystick away from yourself

1Set “Input Level Dmod” to +100.

2Set “Src” to JS+Y: CC#01. The delay sound will disappear.

The input level to the effect can be controlled by the joystick. As you move the joystick away from your- self, the delay sound will gradually increase.

Using Dmod to modify the feedback level from [SW1] key

1In P1: Edit-Basic, select the Controller Setup tab,

and set the function of “SW1” to SW1 Mod.: CC#80 (Toggle).

2Return to P8. Set “Feedback Src” to SW 1: CC#80.

3Set “Amt” to +30.

When you press the [SW1] key, the feedback level will increase, and the delay sound will continue for a longer time. (Move the joystick away from your- self so that the delayed sound is output.) The “Amt” setting specifies the feedback level that will be in effect when the [SW1] key is pressed. If “Amt” is set to –10, pressing the SW1 key will reduce the feed- back level to 0.

Using the BPM/MIDI Sync. function to synchronize the delay time to arpeggiator tempo changes.

1Set “BPM” to MIDI.

2For L, C, and R, set “Delay Base Note” and “Times” as desired.

For this example, set “Delay Base Note” to and “Times” to x1 so that the effect will be easily under- standable. The delay time will repeat at an interval of a 8th note.

3Rotate the [TEMPO] knob, and the delay time will change.

(When you move the joystick away from yourself, the delay sound will be output.)

4When you turn on the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] switch, the arpeggiator will begin playing.

Select any desired arpeggio pattern. When you rotate the [TEMPO] knob, the delay time will change in synchronization with the changing tempo of the arpeggio.

If you rotate the [TEMPO] knob to change the tempo while the delay is sounding, noise may occur in the delay sound. This is because the delay sound becomes discontinuous, and is not a mal- function.

For some effects, you can synchronize the LFO fre- quency to the tempo. Set the effect parameters “BPM/MIDI Sync” to On, and “BPM” to MIDI. For details refer to p.159 in the Parameter Guide.
