Basic program editing

Program editing refers to the process of modifying the parameters that make up a program to vary the sound or to set controllers etc.

General program editing can be performed using the performance editor of Program P0: Play, or using the REALTIME CONTROLS knobs [1]–[4], but detailed editing is performed in Program P1–P9.

Use the parameters of P1–P9 to edit the program that you selected in Program P0: Play. In this section we will give examples of how to modify representative parameters in each page, so that you can understand the operation of each parameter. For details on all parameters, refer to in the Parameter Guide.

For parameters in P1–P5 that are set indepen- dently for each oscillator 1 and 2, you can use the page menu command “Copy Oscillator” to copy settings from one oscillator to the other. This is a convenient way to make the same settings for two oscillators, or to copy settings from one oscillator to the other.

If you wish to save an edited program into internal memory, be sure to Write the program. (☞p.38)

If the separately sold EXB-MOSS option is installed, you will be able to use the special bank F. The parameter structure of bank F programs is dif- ferent than that of the other banks. Refer to the EXB-MOSS owner’s manual.

The Compare function

When P1–P9 are displayed, you can press the [COM- PARE] to make the LED light. This will recall the sound that had been written before you started editing. Press the [COMPARE] key once again and the LED will go dark, and you will return to the sound that you had been editing. Use this function when you wish to com- pare the unedited sound with the results of your edit- ing.

When the [COMPARE] key LED is lit, editing a parameter will make the LED go dark, and that sound will now be the sound that is recalled when the [COMPARE] key LED is dark.

P1: Edit-Basic Oscillator settings

In P1: Edit-Basic you can make oscillator-related set- tings. The TRITON provides two oscillators, and for each oscillator you can select a basic waveform (“mul- tisample”) and set the pitch. The multisamples pro- vided by the TRITON include waveforms for musical instruments such as pianos, as well as special wave- forms unique to synthesizers. Multisamples reproduce the complex overtone structure and frequency charac- teristics that allow us to identify a sound as being “piano-like” or “guitar-like.”

Oscillator Mode

This sets the mode of the oscillator. Single uses one oscillator and Double uses two oscillators. In the case of Single the maximum polyphony is 62 notes, and in the case of Double the maximum polyphony is 31 notes. If you wish to use a Drum Kit to create a drums program, select Drums.

Voice Assign Mode

Select whether the program will sound in Poly (poly- phonically) or Mono (monophonically). If this is set to Poly, you will be able to play chords using the pro- gram. If this is set to Mono, only one note will sound even if you play a chord. Normally you will set this to Poly, but it is effective to use Mono when you are play- ing sounds such as analog-synth bass or synth lead. Try switching between Poly and Mono, and listen to the result.

Multisample

Select

In this page you can select the multisample for the oscillator. The TRITON provides 425 multisamples in its internal ROM memory. For the multisample names, refer to the separate Voice Name List.

Additional multisamples can be added by installing a separately sold EXB-PCM series option board. You can also use multisamples from the RAM memory that you created in Sampling mode.

Selecting a multisample

The multisample will determine the basic character of the program.

●Press “Multisample Select” (it will be high- lighted), and use the [ ][ ] keys, [VALUE] slider, [VALUE] dial, numeric keys, and [ENTER] key, [0]–[9] to select the desired multisample.
