If you wish to change a program to a different cat- egory, you can set in the dialog box when writing the program (☞p.39). Category names can be changed in “Category Name” (Global P4).

4When you are satisfied with the selected program, press the OK button to close the popup menu.

If you press the Cancel button, the selection you made here will be discarded, and you will return to the program that had been selected when you opened the popup menu.

Program banks of the TRITON

The TRITON contains program banks A–G.

•Banks A–Eeach contain 128 programs (numbered 000–127), for a total of 640 programs.

With the factory settings, banks contain a variety of preset programs that use the internal PCM ROM multisamples, effects, and arpeggiator patterns etc. With the factory settings, bank E does not contain programs. It can be used as a user bank for you to write programs you yourself create (such as pro- grams that use multisamples you sampled in Sam- pling mode).

•Bank F can be used if the EXB-MOSS option (sold separately) is installed. It can contain 128 programs (numbered 000–127) that use the MOSS tone generator. (☞For the program names, refer to the owner’s manual of the EXB-MOSS option.)

•Bank G contains 256 programs compatible with the GM2 sound map, and nine drum programs. This bank is read-only.

Bank G consists of banks G, g(1), g(2)–g(9), and g(d). The 128 programs from 001–128 can be used. G con- tains the GM2 original programs. g(1)–g(9)allow you to select variation programs of the G bank pro- grams. g(d) lets you select drum programs.

☞For the preset program banks and program names, refer to the separate Voice Name List.
