Incoming MIDI data will be handled with settings equivalent to “Key Transpose” 0, “Velocity Curve” 4, and “After Touch Curve” 3.

When controlling the TRITON’s tone generator from an external MIDI device, select “PostMIDI.” The above-listed settings will affect the MIDI data that is received. These settings will also affect the data that is played back from the internal sequencer.

Outgoing MIDI data will be handled with settings equivalent to “Key Transpose” 0, “Velocity Curve” 4, and “After Touch Curve” 3.

Connecting an external MIDI sequencer or computer etc.

You can play the TRITON’s keyboard and record your performance on an external MIDI sequencer/com- puter (connected via a MIDI interface), and then play back the recorded performance to sound the TRITON’s tone generator (i.e., using the TRITON as an input key- board and MIDI tone generator). To do this, connect the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN connectors of the TRITON and your external MIDI sequencer/computer to each other.

When connections are made as shown above, turn on the Echo Back function of the external MIDI sequencer or computer (so that data received at MIDI IN will be re-transmitted from MIDI OUT), and turn off the TRI- TON’s Local Control setting (so that the TRITON’s keyboard and tone generator will be internally discon- nected). When you play the keyboard of the TRITON, the musical data will be transmitted to the external MIDI sequencer or computer, and then echoed back to play the TRITON’s tone generator. In other words, by turning Local Control OFF, you can prevent notes from being sounded in duplicate, as would otherwise occur if a note were sounded by the TRITON’s own key- board and again by the data that was echoed-back.

If the arpeggiator function is on, playing the TRITON’s keyboard will not cause the arpeggiator to operate, and only the musical data produced by playing the keyboard will be transmitted. The arpeggiator will operate only in response to the notes that are echoed- back and received at MIDI IN. In this way, turning off Local Control prevents the arpeggiator from operating

in duplicate.

Use this setting when you wish to record on the exter- nal MIDI sequencer or computer only the notes that trigger the arpeggiator, and to use the echoed-back notes to operate the arpeggiator while monitoring your recording or during playback.

To turn off Local Control, select the Global P1: MIDI, and press the “Local Control On” check box to uncheck it (p.117 in the Parameter Guide).

When using the TRITON by itself, leave Local Control turned on. (If this is off when the TRITON is used by itself, playing the keyboard will not produce sound.)

If you want the note data produced by the arpeg- giator to be recorded on the external sequencer/ computer, set Local Control on, and turn off the Echo Back setting of the external sequencer/com- puter.

Connecting a computer (TO HOST connector)

By using a special cable to connect the TRITON’s TO HOST to your computer, and installing the “Korg MIDI Driver,” you can play and control the TRITON from your computer. Direct cable connections are pos- sible with the following computers.

Connecting an IBM PC (compatible)

To connect an IBM PC (compatible) with the TRITON, you will need a separately sold AG-001B connecting kit (cable and Korg MIDI Driver software).

1Use the special AG-001B cable to connect the serial port (COM port) of the IBM PC (compatible) to the TRITON’s TO HOST connector.

If the serial port of your computer uses a 25-pin connector, you will need to obtain a 9 pin - 25 pin adapter.

2In Global P0: Basic Setup, set “PC I/F Baud Rate” to 38.40 [kBPS]. (“PC I/F Baud Rate settings”)

3If you are using Windows, install the Korg MIDI Driver. For the installation procedure, refer to “Installing and setting up the Korg MIDI Driver” (p.129).
