Tuning to another instrument/

Transposing

When you play the TRITON together with other instruments, or along with music on a CD or tape, you may need to adjust the tuning so that the pitch matches. To adjust the tuning, use Global P0: Basic tab “Master Tune.” The tuning can be adjusted in a range of –50 – +50 cents (one semitone is 100 cents).

You can also transpose by changing the pitch in semi- tone steps. To transpose the pitch of the entire TRI- TON, use Global P0: Basic tab “Key Transpose.” The pitch can be transposed over a range of ±1 octave.

Here we will explain how to adjust the tuning and transposition of the entire TRITON.

1Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.

2After pressing the [MENU] key, and press the P0: Basic Setup.

3Select the Basic tab.

4To adjust the tuning, select “Master Tune.” to adjust the transposition, select “Key Transpose.”

5Use the VALUE controllers to adjust the setting.

You can use numeric keys [0]–[9] to enter a value and press the [ENTER] key. Alternatively, you can use the [VALUE] dial, the [VALUE] slider, or the [][] keys.

If you want this setting to be preserved after the power is turned off, save the setting (p.39).

Bypassing the effects

Normally, effects are turned on/off within each pro- gram, combination, or song, or in Sampling mode or Song Play mode. However if you want the entire TRI- TON not to use its insert effects or master effects, you can bypass these effects.

1Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.

2After pressing the [MENU] key, and press the P0: Basic Setup.

3Select the Basic tab.

4To turn off insert effects 1–5, check the “IFX1-5 Off” check box.

To turn off master effect 1, check the “MFX1 Off” check box. To turn off master effect 2, check the “MFX2 Off” check box.

If you want this setting to be preserved after the power is turned off, save the setting (p.39).

Specifying the function of the

ASSIGNABLE Switch and

ASSIGNABLE Pedal

Set the function of an assignable switch (separately sold option, Korg PS-1) connected to the ASSIGN- ABLE SWITCH jack.

This switch can act as a source for alternate modula- tion or effect dynamic modulation, or switch porta- mento on/off, control the sostenuto effect, turn the soft pedal effect on/off, turn the arpeggiator on/off, select programs or combinations (up/down), start/stop the sequencer, punch-in/out on the sequencer, or be a trig- ger to advance the cue list step (p.219 in the Parameter Guide).

This setting is made in Global P2: Controller “Foot Switch Assign.”

You can specify the function that will be performed by an assignable pedal (the separately sold Korg XVP-10 or EXP-2) connected to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack.

This pedal can be used to control master volume, alter- nate modulation or effect dynamic modulation, porta- mento pitch change speed, volume, the pan following an insert effect, pan, volume, or send levels to the mas- ter effects (p.220 in the Parameter Guide).

This setting is made in Global P2: Controller “Foot Pedal Assign.”

You can use this as a source for alternate modula- tion or effect dynamic modulation, and use it to control program parameters or effect parameters. In this case, set “Foot Switch Assign” to Foot SW (CC#82), and “Foot Pedal Assign” to Foot Pedal

(CC#04).

Here we will show how to make settings that allow an assignable switch to change programs or combina- tions.

1Connect a separately sold Korg PS-1 to the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.

2Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.

3After pressing the [MENU] key, and press the P2: Controller.

4Press the “Foot Switch Assign” popup button, and press either Program Up or Program Down.

Program Up will cause the next higher program number to be selected each time you press the foot switch.

Program Down will cause the next lower program number to be selected each time you press the foot switch.
