Sampling (recording a sample)

Preparations for sampling

Connections and settings for a monaural source

When sampling in monaural from a mic, the output of an external audio device or mixer, or an instrumental sound such as guitar or synthesizer, connect the source to the AUDIO INPUT 1 or 2.

Guitars etc. with active pickups can be input directly, but instruments with passive pickups (i.e., without internal preamps) cannot be sampled at an appropriate level, due to impedance mismatch- ing. When connecting such instruments, use a preamp or effect device.

Mic

1Connect the mic or external audio device to the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack.

2Set the AUDIO INPUT [MIC-LINE] switch to match the input source. For input sources with a low input level, such as a microphone, select the MIC position. For other sources, select the LINE position.

The AUDIO INPUT [MIC-LINE] switch affects both the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.

3The AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob will be adjusted later. For now, set it near the center.

4In Sampling mode P0: Recording, select the Input/ Setup tab.

5In “Audio Input (SAMPLING),” set various parameters that specify how the signal from the AUDIO INPUT jack will be received.

•“Level” adjusts the volume. Normally you will set this to 127.

•“Pan” adjust the panning. For this example set it to L000.

•Set “BUS (IFX) Select.” If you wish to use the TRITON’s insert effects to process the incoming sound, select IFX1–5here. For this example, select L/R. The input sound will be sampled just as it is.

Be aware that when you change the setting from Off to L/R or IFX1–5, the volume level in the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks and in the headphones may rise excessively.

“Input 1” controls the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack, and “Input 2” controls the AUDIO INPUT 2 jack.

The settings up to this point will cause the sound from the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack to be output from the AUDIO OUT L/MONO jack and from the L channel of the headphones.

6Use the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob to set an appropriate level.

If the level is excessive at the TRITON’s input stage, the display will indicate “ADC OVERLOAD !!” (analog/digital converter is overloaded). Adjust the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob or the output level of the external audio device just low enough so that the “ADC OVERLOAD !!” does not appear (i.e., the maximum level that does not cause an overload).

Connections and settings for a stereo source

When sampling in stereo from a stereo mic, the output of an external audio device or mixer, or synthesizer, connect the source to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.

CD player,

analog record player etc.

LINE OUT

1Connect the L source to AUDIO INPUT jack 1, and the R source to jack 2.

2Make the settings described in steps 2–4of “Connections and settings for a monaural source.”

3In “Audio Input (SAMPLING),” set various parameters that specify how the signal from the AUDIO INPUT jacks will be received.

•“Level” adjusts the volume. Set both Input 1 and Input 2 to 127.

•“Pan” adjust the panning. Set Input 1 to L000, and Input 2 to R127.

•Set “BUS (IFX) Select.” For this example, select L/R for both Input 1 and Input 2.

The settings up to this point will cause the sound from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks to be output in stereo from the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks and from the headphones. The sound of AUDIO INPUT 1 will be output from the left, and AUDIO OUTPUT 2 from the right.
