Global mode

SCSI Mode/SCSI ID

“SCSI Mode” and “SCSI ID” parameters have been added to the Global P0: Basic Setup, System Preference page (☞PG p.137). These parameters allow the TRITON STUDIO’s internal hard drive to be detected by a connected computer as an external SCSI disk. This allows you to transfer data between the TRITON STUDIO and your computer effi- ciently, without using external media.

SCSI Mode [Initiator, Target]

This sets the SCSI functionality of the TRITON STUDIO.

Initiator: Data can be exchanged with an external SCSI device connected to the TRITON STUDIO. This is the same function as in previous versions of the operating system. (☞BG p.12, PG p.298)

TRITON

STUDIO

Target: The TRITON STUDIO’s internal hard drive can be detected as an external SCSI hard drive by a connected com- puter. Data can be transferred between the internal hard drive and the computer.

If you use a commercially-available SCSI↔ USB conversion adaptor, you can detect the TRITON STUDIO from a com- puter equipped with a USB port.

Example connections for “SCSI Mode”: Target

SCSI

Use only a recommended SCSI↔ USB conversion adap- tor. For a list of recommended models, refer to the Korg website or contact your Korg distributor.

Do not operate the TRITON STUDIO while data is being saved/loaded on the internal hard drive by the computer.

Changing the “SCSI Mode” setting requires restarting the TRITON STUDIO (Turning the power off and back on) for the change to take effect.

When the “SCSI Mode” is set to Target, the Disk mode is unavailable; you will be unable to save/load data on the floppy disk, internal hard drive, CDRW-1, or any connected external SCSI device. In this case, be aware that if you begin sampling to RAM or creating a song in Sequencer mode, you will be unable to save your data! We recommend you normally keep the “SCSI Mode” set to “Initiator,” and change the setting to “Target” only when you need to use this function.

When “SCSI Mode” is set to Target and a computer is connected, do not format the TRITON STUDIO’s inter- nal hard drive from the computer.

The TRITON STUDIO does not support file names longer than 11 characters (8 characters plus an exten- sion), or file names that contain double-byte characters. If such files are copied from the computer, the TRITON STUDIO will not display the file name correctly.

SCSI ID [0...7]

This sets the TRITON STUDIO’s SCSI ID. This is used when “SCSI Mode” is set to Target.

Do not set the “SCSI ID” to an ID number that is used by the connected computer or an external SCSI device.

Making connections with an external device

For more about handling an external SCSI device, refer to the external SCSI device connections explained on PG p.298. For details on the SCSI ID settings etc. of your connected external SCSI device, refer to the manual of your device.

1. “SCSI Mode”: Target

Here’s how to make connections and settings so that a con- nected computer can exchange data with the TRITON STU- DIO and connected SCSI devices.

Hard disk etc. Terminate the connection

If you are using a SCSI↔ USB conversion adaptor to connect the TRITON STUDIO to your computer, refer to the owner’s manual of the conversion adaptor.

1Connect the TRITON STUDIO to your external SCSI device(s) and computer.

Make connections as shown in “Example connections for “SCSI Mode”: Target,” above.

STUDIO

The power of the TRITON STUDIO and the connected devices must be off when you make connections.

2Turn on the power of the TRITON STUDIO.

At this point, leave your computer and the external SCSI device(s) powered-off.
