Sampling mode

The TRITON provides high-performance mono/stereo sampling.

None of the multisample or sample data in Sam- pling mode is backed up when the power is turned off. If you wish to keep this data, you must save it on a floppy disk or external SCSI device (if the sep- arately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed) before turning off the power.

Immediately after the power is turned on, the TRI- TON will contain no multisample or sample data. If you wish to playback or edit data, you must first load previously-saved data from floppy disk or an external SCSI device.

Features of sampling mode

48 kHz 16 bit linear mono/stereo sampling.

16 Mbytes of sample (waveform) data memory is standard, allowing you to sample for approximately 2 minutes 54 seconds in monaural, or approximately 1 minute 27 seconds in stereo. By installing 72 pin SIMM modules, you can expand the memory to a maximum of 64 Mbytes, which will allow you to record up to four 2 minute 54 second samples in mono (or four 1 minute 27 second samples in stereo), for a maximum total of approximately 11 minutes 39 seconds of sampling time. (For details on expansion, refer to p.237 in the Parameter Guide.)

A maximum of 1,000 multisamples and 4,000 samples can be created.

In Disk mode you can load multisample/sample data from a floppy disk or SCSI media (when the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed).

Korg format or AKAI (S1000/S3000) format sample data, or AIFF or WAVE files can be loaded. (When this data is loaded into the TRITON, it will all be handled as Korg format sample data.)

The external audio source that you are sampling can be processed by the five insertion effects to apply effects such as compressor, EQ, or lo-fi. The LFO frequency or delay time of the effect can be specified as a BPM value, which is highly effective when sampling phrase loops etc.

Both auto sampling and manual sampling can be performed. With auto sampling, recording will begin automatically when the input level exceeds a specified threshold. In either method of sampling, you can make pre-trigger settings.

The audio input supports both mic and line level signals.

Data that is sampled can be immediately played from the keyboard. It can also be converted into a program by a simple operation, and used as an element of the TRITON’s HI synthesis system. Multisamples/samples that have been converted

into a program can be used in a combination or song.

The waveform can be viewed in the LCD screen, and edited by a variety of waveform editing commands that include rate convert (down- sampling) and reverse playback.

Start, loop start, and end addresses can be specified in units of a single sample. Loop tune, reverse playback, and loop lock functions are also supported.

The Use Zero function automatically detects zero cross points, making it easy to find the beginning or end of the sample, or click-free locations.

The grid function displays a BPM-based grid on the waveform display, helping you to create loops or make waveform edits that match the desired BPM.

Each multisample allows you to create up to 128 indices. Each index consists of a sample assignment, a key zone, an original key, a playback pitch, and settings such as level.

The “Keyboard & Index” display lets you edit a multisample while viewing the assignments and zones of each sample.

The playback pitch of each index can be matched to a desired BPM value by using the BPM Adjust function (playback pitch adjust) to set the loop frequency.

Sample names and multisample names of up to 16 characters can be assigned. Sample names and multisample names can also be viewed in Disk mode (p.132 “Translation” in the Parameter Guide).
