When the “Status” of a track is set to EXT or BTH, the data played back by that track and the data produced by operating the keyboard or controllers of the TRI- TON will play and control an external tone generator. (The MIDI channel of the external tone generator must match the “MIDI channel” of the TRITON track that is set to EXT or BTH.) With a setting of BTH, the external tone generator and the TRITON’s own tone generator will be played and controlled simultaneously. (p.104 in the Parameter Guide “Status”)

GM/GS/XG playback

When you wish to playback SMF data that is compati- ble with the GM/GS/XG standards, set “Bank Map” (Global P0: System Pref. tab) to GM(2) (p.123). (p.115 in the Parameter Guide).

Synchronization with external devices

In Song Play mode, the TRITON will be the master (the controlling device) regardless of the MIDI Clock set- ting (Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Clock”) (p.122).

Mute/Solo function

In P0: Play/Mix, the Program T01–08 and T09–16 tabs provide PLAY/MUTE buttons and SOLO ON/OFF buttons that allows you play and mute tracks 1–16 in the same way as in Sequencer mode.

You can use these when you wish to mute the melody track and play the part yourself on the keyboard (“minus-one play”), or when you wish to audition a track (p.62).

You can use the “Solo Selected Track” page menu com- mand to audition only the currently selected track. This provides a convenient way to hear the parameter settings and effect settings of a track (p.47, 102 in the Parameter Guide).

Insert effects and master effects

Refer to “About effects” (p.108) (p.109 in the Param- eter Guide).

Playing SMF data

Direct playback from external media such as a floppy disk

When you wish to playback SMF data that is com- patible with the GM/GS/XG standards, set “Bank Map” (Global P0: System Pref. tab) to GM(2).

1Press the [S.PLAY] key to enter Song Play mode.

2Insert a floppy disk containing SMF data into the TRITON’s disk drive.

When the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed. If you wish to load data from external SCSI media such as a hard disk, refer to the EXB- SCSI owner’s manual, and make sure that the exter- nal SCSI drive etc. is connected. Also make sure that the media contains SMF data.

3Press either the [LOCATE], [START/STOP], or [PAUSE] key.

Data will be loaded from the media.

If you press the [START/STOP] key, the data will be loaded and playback will begin (the same as in step 6).

4“File Select” will show the SMF filenames.

File Select

If there is no SMF data in the floppy disk, or if there is no SMF data in the currently selected directory, no filename will be displayed (as shown below).

If no jukebox list has been created, no filenames will be displayed if the “Jukebox” check box is checked. Uncheck the “Jukebox” check box.
