Using controllers to modify the sound

The TRITON provides a variety of controllers that can be used to control the tone, pitch, volume, effects, and arpeggiator etc. in realtime while you play.

	Joystick
	＋Y
－X	＋X
	－Y

JS(+X): Move the joystick toward the right to apply an effect. Normally this is used to control the pitch (bend up).

JS(–X):Move the joystick toward the left to apply an effect. Normally this is used to control the pitch (bend down).

JS(+Y): Move the joystick away from yourself to apply an effect. Normally this is used to control the oscillator LFO (vibrato).

JS(–Y):Move the joystick toward yourself to apply an effect. Normally this is used to control filter LFO (wah).

You can use the Lock function of SW 1 or 2 to hold the effect even after the joystick is returned to the center position. For the procedure, refer to “SW1, SW2.”

You can use the joystick as a source for alternate modulation or effect dynamic modulation, to con- trol program parameters or effect parameters.

Ribbon controller

－X ＋X

Move your finger to the left and right on the ribbon controller to apply an effect.

Normally, this is used to control pitch, volume or filter etc.

You can use the Lock function of SW 1 or 2 to hold the effect even after you release your finger from the ribbon controller. For the procedure, refer to “SW1, SW2.”

You can use the ribbon controller as a source for alternate modulation or effect dynamic modula- tion, to control program parameters or effect parameters.

SW1, SW2

You can use these keys as sources for alternate modula- tion or effect dynamic modulation to control program parameters or effect parameters.

These switches can also be used to switch the octave, to turn portamento on/off, or to lock the position of the ribbon controller or after touch function.

You can specify the way in which the [SW1] and [SW2] keys will operate: either Toggle, when the assigned function will be switched on/off each time the key is pressed, or Momentary, when the assigned function will be switched on only as long as you hold down the key.

In Program mode, the function of the [SW1] and [SW2] keys can be checked in the P0: Play tab Per- formance (☞p.27).

When you write a program or combination, the on/off status of the [SW1] and [SW2] keys is saved.

For details on making these settings, refer to “Set- ting the functions of [SW1] and [SW2]” (☞p.127).

The Lock function

Joystick

When the [SW1] or [SW2] key function is set to JS X Lock, JS +Y Lock, or JS –Y Lock, the sound produced by moving the joystick can be held even after the joy- stick is returned to the center position.

When the [SW1] key is set to JS–Y Lock and is operat- ing as a Toggle switch, the lock function can be used as described in the following example.

1Move the joystick toward yourself to modify the sound.

2While continuing to hold the joystick toward your- self, press [SW1] (the [SW1] key LED will light).

The sound at this point will be held.

3Even if you release the joystick, or move it toward yourself once again, the sound will remain unchanged from when the [SW1] key was pressed.

This is the “locked” condition. Moving the joystick to left or right will produce the normal result.
