Korg Speaker System owner manual About song data, Memory Protect, The Compare function, About MIDI

•The Track BPM Adjust function (playback pitch adjust) can automatically change the pitch of a sample/multisample that was sampled in Sampling mode or loaded in Disk mode so that it matches the tempo.

About song data

The following two types of song data can be loaded from floppy disk or other external media into the TRI- TON’s sequencer.

•Song data saved in the TRITON’s own format This data cannot be loaded by another device, but the playback will faithfully reproduce the detailed settings unique to the TRITON. We recommend that song data intended for playback on the TRITON be saved in this format.

•Standard MIDI Files

This format is not able to provide a totally faithful reproduction of the performance on the TRITON in the way that the TRITON’s own format does (although there will be no problem for normal play- back), but does provide compatibility with other SMF-compatible devices.

To load song data from floppy disk or save song data to floppy disk, use Disk mode. (☞p.40, p.92)

Memory Protect

Before you record a track or pattern, or edit the musical data, you will need to turn off the memory protect set- ting in Global mode. (☞p.37)

The Compare function

When you perform realtime recording, step recording, or track editing, this function allows you make before- and-after comparisons. (☞p.14)

If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key LED is lit, the LED will go dark. That musical data will now be the data that is selected when the [COMPARE] key LED is dark.

•Recording to a track

•Track Edit

All commands other than P5: Page menu com- mands “Memory Status,” “FF/REW Speed,” and “Set Location”

In general, track and pattern event data can not be returned to its original state.

Comparing song parameters is possible only during song editing (when executing a page menu command).

About MIDI

Synchronizing the sequencer with an external MIDI device

The record/playback tempo of the TRITON’s sequencer can be synchronized to an external MIDI device such as a sequencer or rhythm machine (☞p.122).

Track status settings in Sequencer mode

You can make settings for the TRITON’s sequencer to specify whether it will sound the internal tone genera- tor or an external tone generator.

When Track Status is set to INT, operating the TRI- TON’s keyboard and controllers will sound and con- trol the TRITON’s own tone generator.

When Track Status is set to EXT, EX2 or BTH, operat- ing the TRITON’s keyboard and controllers will sound and control the external tone generator. (The MIDI channel of the external tone generator must match the “MIDI Channel” of the track that is set to EXT, EX2 or BTH.) With a setting of BTH, both the external tone generator and the TRITON’s tone generator will sound and be controlled.

If you wish to use the TRITON’s Sequencer mode as a 16-timbre (16-track) tone generator, set each track to either INT or BTH (☞p.55 in the Parameter Guide).
