If you wish to keep a combination that you edited, you must Write it (p.38).

Layer, split, and velocity switch

Within a combination, you can use keyboard location and velocity to change the program that sounds. The programs assigned to each timbre can sound in three ways: as a layer, a split, or a velocity switch. A combi- nation can be set to use any one of these methods, or to use two or more of these methods.

Layer

Layer refers to settings which cause two or more pro- grams to sound simultaneously when a note is played.

Program A

Program B

Layer:

Two or more programs sound simultaneously.

Split

Split refers to settings which cause different programs to sound depending on the keyboard location that is played.

Program A

Program B

Split:

Different programs will sound in different areas of the keyboard.

Velocity switch

Velocity Switch refers to settings which cause different programs to sound depending on the velocity (key- board playing dynamics).

Strong

 

Program B

Keyboard playing dynamics

Program A

Soft

 

 

 

Velocity Switch:

Keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) switches between different programs.

On the TRITON, you can use a different program for each of up to eight timbres, and combine two or more of the above methods to create even more complex set- ups.

 

 

 

 

Program A

 

 

Program B

Program D

Strong

Keyboard playing dynamics

Program C

Soft

 

 

Example:

B and C/D are split. In the lower keyboard range, A and B are layered. In the higher keyboard range, C and D are switched by velocity and layered with A.

As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key zone or velocity zone so that the volume dimin- ishes gradually. This lets you change a split into a key- board crossfade, or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade.

Program A

Program B

Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard crossfade): As you play from low notes to high notes, the volume of A will fade out, and the volume of B will fade in.

Program B

Strong

 

Keyboard playing dynamics

 

 

 

 

Program A

Soft

 

 

 

Velocity X-Fade (velocity crossfade): As you play with increasingly stronger velocity, the volume of A will fade out, and the volume of B will fade in.

The Compare function

When P1–P9 are displayed, you can press the [COM- PARE] key to make the LED light. This will recall the combination that had been written before you began editing. When you press the [COMPARE] key once again the LED will go dark, and you will return to the sound that you had been editing. Use this when you wish to compare the edited sound with the un-edited sound.

If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key LED is lit, the LED will go dark, and the current sound will now be the sound that is recalled when the [COMPARE] key LED is dark.

P1: Edit-Program/Mixer

Timbre 1–8 program, pan and vol- ume

Here you select a program for each timbre 1–8, and set its pan and volume. These are the same parameters as in P0: Play, and can be edited from either page.

Category, Bank/Program

Select the program for each timbre.

Selection of programs via MIDI program change is disabled in this page.

If a program currently being edited in Program mode is used in a combination, the combination will use the sound that is being edited.

Pan

Specify the panning (stereo location) for each timbre. A setting of C064 will reproduce the oscillator pan setting of the program. Moving this to left or right will move the sound to left or right while preserving the pan rela- tionship between the oscillators. A setting of L000 is far left, and R127 is far right. (p.31 in the Parameter Guide.)

Volume

Adjust the volume of each timbre 1–8.

Create the overall sound by adjusting the volume bal- ance between timbres. The “Volume” setting is an important aspect of creating the sound, and this setting will have a significant effect on the overall impression produced by the combination.
