Settings for status, MIDI channel, and playing mode

MIDI Channel tab

Status

Select a “Status” of INT for all timbres that you wish to use. Select Off for unused timbres.

Timbres that are set to INT will sound the TRITON’s internal tone generator. Timbres set to Off, EXT, or EX2 will not sound. Timbres set to EXT or EX2 can control an external tone generator connected via MIDI.

MIDI Channel

Timbres that you wish to play from the TRITON’s key- board must be set to the global MIDI channel. Your playing on the keyboard is transmitted on the global MIDI channel, and will sound any timbre that matches this channel. Normally you will set this to Gch. When this is set to Gch, the MIDI channel of the timbre will always match the global MIDI channel, even if you change the global MIDI channel.

On some preset combinations that use the arpeg- giator, timbres assigned to the arpeggiator may not have a “Status” of INT and “MIDI Channel” of Gch.

The reason for this is that these settings are for tim- bres that sound only when the arpeggiator is on. This is a very useful technique for creating combi- nations that use the arpeggiator. Refer to “Dual arpeggiator editing” (☞p.104) and to “7–1b” (☞p.39) in the Parameter Guide, and study the rela- tionship between arpeggiator assignments, “Sta- tus,” and “MIDI Channel.”

Bank Select (when Status = EX2)

This setting is valid when “Status” is set to EX2. It speciﬁes the Bank Select message that will be transmit- ted from the TRITON.

OSC tab

Force OSC Mode

Normally you will set this to PRG.

If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound monophonically, set this either to MN (Mono) or LGT (Legato). Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to force a monophonic program to play polyphonically (☞p.33 in the Parameter Guide).

OSC Select

Normally you will set this to BTH (Both).

If the timbre is using a program whose “OSC Mode” is Double, and you want only OSC1 or OSC2 (not both) to sound, set this to OS1 (only OSC1 will sound) or OS2 (only OSC2 will sound).

Portamento

Normally you will set this to PRG.

If you want the portamento setting speciﬁed for the program of the timbre to be forced off, set this parame- ter to Off. Conversely, if you want to forcibly turn the portamento on, or to change the portamento time, set this to a value of 001–127to specify the portamento time.

Pitch tab

Transpose, Detune

These parameters adjust the pitch of the timbre.

•In a layer-type combination, you can set two or more timbres to the same program, and create a richer sound by using “Transpose” to shift their pitch apart by an octave or by using “Detune” to create a slight difference in pitch between the two.

•In a split-type combination, you can use “Transpose” to change the pitch of the program in each key zone in steps of an octave.

•If you wish to change the playback pitch of a drum program, use “Detune.” If you change the “Transpose” setting, the correspondence between notes and drum sounds will change.
