In Combination and Sequencer modes, the P3: MIDI Filter settings allow transmission/reception of control changes to be individually turned on/off for each timbre/track. For the assignable controllers ([SW1], [SW2], REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs, Foot Pedal/Switch), MIDI filter settings will apply to the control change number to which each controller is assigned. “Other Control Change” applies to control changes that are not covered by the items of the other check boxes (P3: MIDI Filter) (p.35, 57 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”).

MIDI CC#00–CC#95can be selected for the B- mode of REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs.

Using the joystick to apply modulation

Modulation 1 depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]

When you move the TRITON’s joystick in the +Y direc- tion (away from yourself), Modulation 1 Depth mes- sages will be transmitted. When these messages are received, the same effect will be applied as when the TRITON’s joystick is operated. Normally this will apply a vibrato effect (pitch LFO).

In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track (P3: MIDI2 tab “Enable JS+Y”). (p.35, 57 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”)

Modulation 2 depth (CC#02) [Bn, 02, vv]

When you move the TRITON’s joystick in the –Y direc- tion (toward yourself), Modulation 2 Depth messages will be transmitted. When these messages are received, the same effect will be applied as when the TRITON’s joystick is operated. Normally this will apply a wah effect (filter LFO).

In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track (P3: MIDI2 tab “Enable JS-Y”). (p.35, 57 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”)

Other manufacturers use this message for other purposes (e.g., breath controller, etc.)

Controlling the portamento effect

Portamento time (CC#05) [Bn, 05, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned as a B-mode function for one of the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs, rotating that knob will transmit Portamento Time mes- sages, and will modify the speed at which the porta- mento pitch changes. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

Portamento switch (CC#65) [Bn, 41, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned to [SW1], [SW2] or the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH, operating that switch will transmit vv=127 [7F] for ON or vv=0 [00] for OFF, and the portamento effect will be switched on/off. When

this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated. (vv of 63 [3F] or less will be OFF, and 64 [40] or greater will be ON.) (p.217 in the Parameter Guide “SW1, SW2 Assign List”)

In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/reception of this message can be turned on/off independently for each timbre/track (P3: MIDI1 tab “Enable Portamento SW”). (p. 35 and 58 in the Parameter Guide.)

In Sequencer mode, portamento time/switch messages will be transmitted by each track whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 when you set “Portamento” (P2: OSC tab), re-select a song or SMF, or return to the beginning of a measure. (p.55 in the Parameter Guide “Portamento”- ”MIDI”)

Controlling the volume

Volume (CC#07) [Bn, 07, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CONTROL knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit Volume messages, and the volume will change. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

Expression (CC#11) [Bn, 0B, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CONTROL knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit Expression messages, and the volume will change. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

The volume of the TRITON is determined by multiply- ing the value of the Volume message with the value of the Expression message.

If adjusting the Volume message does not increase the volume as you expect, or if there is no sound, transmit MIDI messages from an external device to reset the value of the Expression message (set vv to 127). In Sequencer mode, this will be reset when the “Loca- tion” of the song is moved to 001:01.000.

In Combination mode, Volume messages will be transmitted by each timbre whose “Status” is EXT or EX2 when you re-select the combination.

When you change the “Volume” setting (P0: Mixer tab) in Sequencer mode or Song Play mode, or when you re-select the song or return to the beginning of the song in Sequencer mode, volume messages will be transmitted by each track whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.

Regardless of the “Status” settings, re-selecting a song, or returning to the beginning will reset the internal Volume value to the value specified by each track (the starting settings), and will reset the Expression value to the maximum.

You can control the volume independently for each track. You will normally use Volume mes- sages to set the initial volume level for each track (the starting settings), and use Expression mes-
