Sustain level (CC#70) [Bn, 46, vv]

Attack time (CC#73) [Bn, 49, vv]

Decay time (CC#75) [Bn, 4B, vv]

LFO 1 speed (CC#76) [Bn, 4C, vv]

LFO 1 depth (pitch) (CC#77) [Bn, 4D, vv]

LFO 1 delay (CC#78) [Bn, 4E, vv]

These messages are transmitted when assign the above CC# to the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs and operate them.

When you operate these, the corresponding program parameters will be controlled, and the sound and enve- lope will change. When these messages are received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated. (When the message has a value vv=64 [40], the setting will have the value that was set by the pro- gram parameter.)

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/reception can be turned on/off independently for each timbre/track (☞p.35, 57 in the Parameter Guide P3: MIDI Filter MIDI2 tab “Enable REALTIME CONTROLS Knob 1, 2, 3, 4”).

In Program mode, the corresponding program parameters will be temporarily edited by these messages. You can Write the program to save the modified state (except for certain parameters). The Write operation can also be performed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request message, in addition to the usual method of using the TRI- TON’s switches. When you write the data, the val- ues of the corresponding program parameters will be rewritten.

The results of receiving these messages will depend on the instrument. The operation may be different when a device other than the TRITON is connected.

Silencing all notes on a specific channel

All note off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00] (value 00)

When this is received, all currently-sounding notes on that channel will be turned off (as though the keys had been released). However, the release portion of the notes will remain.

All sound off (CC#120) [Bn, 78, 00] (value 00)

When this is received, all currently-sounding notes on that channel will be silenced. While the All Note Off message allows the release portion of the notes to remain, the All Sound Off message will silence the notes immediately.

However, these messages are provided for emergency use, and are not something that you will use while per- forming.

Resetting all controllers on a specific channel

Reset all controllers (CC#121) [Bn, 79, 00] (value 00) When this is received, the value of all controllers on that channel will be reset.

Using RPN to edit

RPN (Registered Parameter Number) is a type of mes- sage that allows settings to be made in a way that is common between instrument manufacturers. (NRPN (Non-registered Parameter Numbers) and exclusive messages can be freely used in non-compatible ways by different manufacturers and models of instrument.)

RPN messages can be used for editing with the follow- ing procedure.

1Use RPN MSB (CC#101) [Bn, 65, mm] and RPN LSB (CC#100) [Bn, 64, rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: upper and lower bytes of the parameter number) messages to select the parameter.

2Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] and data entry LSB (CC#38) [Bn, 26, vv] (n: channel, mm, vv: upper and lower bytes of the value, together expressing 16,384 levels) to specify the value.

3You can use data increment (CC#96) [Bn, 60,00] or data decrement (CC#97) [Bn, 61, 00] (n: channel, value is fixed at 00) to change the value in steps of one.

The TRITON can receive the following three RPN mes- sages (tuning, transpose, and pitch bend range).

Tuning

RPN fine tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]

This RPN message can be used to adjust the detuning for a program or timbre (in Combination mode), or for a track (in Sequencer or Song Play modes).

The procedure is as follows.

1[Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]: Select RPN parameter 01.

2[Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value. A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 0 [mm, vv=00, 00] is -100 cents, and 16383 [mm, vv=7F, 7F] is +100 cents.

You can use the universal exclusive Fine Tune message to adjust the overall tuning that corre- sponds to the Global P0: Basic Setup “Master Tune” parameter. (☞p.120 “About system exclu- sive messages”)

Transposing

RPN coarse tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]

This RPN message can be used to adjust the transposi- tion for a program or timbre (in Combination mode), or for a track (in Sequencer or Song Play modes).

The procedure is as follows.

1[Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]: Select RPN parameter 02.

2[Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value. Normally only the upper byte is used.

A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 6656 [mm, vv=34, 00] is -12 semitones, and 9728 [mm, vv=4C, 00] is +12 semitones.
