Korg Speaker System If notes are stuck, 121, Transmitting sound settings data Data Dump

Master fine tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]

(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 4096 [mm, vv=20, 00] is -50 cents, and 12288 [mm, vv=60, 00] is +50 cents.)

When this is received, the Global P0: Basic tab “Master Tune” parameter will be set.

Master coarse tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 04, vv, mm, F7] (Normally only the upper byte mm 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 semi- tones.)

When this is received, the Global P0: Basic tab “Trans- pose” parameter will be set.

Transmitting sound settings data (Data Dump)

Data for programs, combinations, drum kits, user arpeggio patterns, global settings, and sequencer data can be transmitted as MIDI exclusive messages. The operation of sending this system exclusive data to an external device is called a “data dump.”

By performing a data dump, you can store the TRI- TON’s sounds and settings on an external device, or rewrite the sounds and settings of another TRITON series instrument.

There are the following three types of data dump.

•When you use the Global P1: MIDI “Data Dump” page menu command to dump data, various types of internal memory data will be transmitted. If this data is received by the TRITON, the data will be written directly into internal memory, and it will not be necessary to perform the Write operation. (☞“Transmission,” “Reception” on pages 119 and 120 in the Parameter Guide.)

•If the Global P1: MIDI “Enable Exclusive” setting is checked, selecting a combination in Combination P0: Play will transmit data for one combination. Selecting a program in Program Play P0: Play will transmit data for one program.

This data is the edit buffer data for the currently selected combination or program. If this data is received by the TRITON, the data will be written into the edit buffer, so if you wish to save it to inter- nal memory, you will need to perform the Write operation. The Write operation can also be per- formed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request or Combination Write Request message, in addition to the usual method of using the TRITON’s switches. (☞p.37 “Saving data”)

•If the Global P1: MIDI “Enable Exclusive” setting is checked, data will also be dumped in response to a Dump Request message. This data is transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel.

Editing sounds etc.

By using various MIDI exclusive data dumps, you can rewrite all programs or an individual program. By using parameter change messages, you can edit indi- vidual parameters as follows.

Parameter changes

•In Program mode, all parameters other than the program name can be edited. Performance editor parameters are included.

•In Combination mode, parameters other than the combination name can be edited.

Drum kit parameter change/User arpeggio pat- tern parameter change

•In Global mode, you can edit drum kits and user arpeggio patterns.

Since the other global parameters or Sequencer mode data cannot be edited, you will use data dumps to transfer this data. Data dumping of Sampling mode data is not supported.

The global MIDI channel is used to transmit and receive this data.

First check Global P1: MIDI “Enable Exclusive,” so that exclusive data can be transmitted and received. When you change modes on the TRITON, a mode change message will transmitted. When you change programs or combinations, the parameters for one program or one combination will be transmitted together with the program change. When you edit individual parame- ters, parameter change, drum kit parameter change, or user arpeggio pattern parameter change messages will be transmitted.

When these messages are received, the same editing operation will be performed as on the transmitted device.

After MIDI exclusive data has been received and pro- cessed, a Data Load Completed message will be trans- mitted. The control master device must not transmit the next message until this message is received (or until a sufficient interval of time has elapsed).

When you change programs or combinations, or use parameter changes to edit, the changes will affect the data in the edit buffer and will not be stored in internal memory unless you Write, so that the changes will be lost if you re-select the program or combination. The Write operation can be performed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request or Combination Write Request message, in addition to the usual method of using the TRITON’s switches. (☞p.37 “Saving data”)

If notes are “stuck”

If for some reason, notes become “stuck” and will not stop sounding, you can usually stop the sound by changing the mode. If notes played via MIDI are stuck, you can disconnect the MIDI cable.

MIDI transmits a message called Active Sensing [FE] at regular intervals. A device that receives this message will be aware that an external MIDI device is transmit- ting to it. Subsequently, if no MIDI messages are received for a certain interval of time, the receiving device will decide that the connection has been broken, and will turn off any notes that had been sounded via MIDI and reset its controller values.
