About The Bpm/Midi Sync Function - Korg Triton-Rack Parameter Manual

In Program and Sampling modes, dynamic modulation
of the insertion effects and master effects is controlled
via the global MIDI Channel. (In Sampling mode, only
the insertion effects can be used.)
In Combination, and Multi modes, dynamic modula-
tion for the insertion effects and master effects is con-
trolled on the MIDI channel independently specified by
the "Control Channel" for IFX1–5, MFX1, and MFX2.
Gate1, G1+Dmp (Gate1+Damper)
The effect is at maximum during note-on, and will stop
when all keys are released. With G1+Dmp, the effect will
remain at maximum even after the keys are released, as long
as the damper (sustain) pedal is pressed.

Gate2, G2+Dmp (Gate2+Damper)
This is essentially the same as for Gate 1 or G1+Dmp. How-
ever when Gate 2 or G2+Dmp are used as a dynamic modu-
lation source for the EG of 022: St.Env.Flanger etc. or the
AUTOFADE of 027: St.Vibrato, a trigger will occur at each
note-on. (In the case of Gate 1 and G1+Dmp, the trigger
occurs only for the first note-on.)

If you wish to use a REALTIME CONTROLS knob [1]–[4] as
a dynamic modulation source, make settings in Program,
Combination, Multi, or Sampling modes to set the 5.2 (2.2):
Ed–Ctrl/Controller page parameter "Knobs 1/2/3/4-B
Assign" to the following settings respectively: "Knob1-B" to
Knob Mod.1 (CC#17), "Knob2–B" to Knob Mod.2 (CC#19),
"Knob3–B" to Knob Mod.3 (CC#20), or "Knob4–B" to Knob
Mod.4 (CC#21). ( p.214 "Knob 1...4 B Assign")
When you set REALTIME CONTROLS to B-mode and oper-
ate knobs [1]–[4], the effect will be controlled.
Moving the knob to the 12 o'clock position will produce a
effect of 0 as the dynamic modulation source. If "(Amount)"
is a positive (+) value, rotating the knob toward the right
will produce a positive change in the effect, and rotating it
toward the left will produce a negative change. (With nega-
tive (–) values, the opposite effect will result.)
Kb1[+] (Knob Mod1: CC#17 [+] )
Kb2[+] (Knob Mod2: CC#19 [+] )
Kb3[+] (Knob Mod3: CC#20 [+] )

These differ from Kb1#17 (Knob Mod1: CC#17)–Kb4#21
(Knob Mod4: CC#21) in the knob position and direction of
the effect. If "(Amount)" is set to a positive (+) value, rotat-
ing the knob to the far right will produce an effect of 0 as the
dynamic modulation source. Rotating the knob toward the
right will apply an effect only in the positive direction. (With
negative (–) settings, the opposite effect will result.)

SW1#80 (SW1 Mod.: CC#80)
SW2#81 (SW2 Mod.: CC#81)
If you wish to use the "SW1" or "SW2" button as a dynamic
modulation source, make settings in Program, Multi, or
Sampling modes to set the 5.2: Ed–Ctrl/Controller page
parameter "SW1/2 Assign" to the following values respec-
tively: "SW1" to SW1 Mod. (CC#80), or "SW2" to SW2
Mod.(CC#81) ( p.213 "SW1/2 Assign").
The functions can be controlled by operating the "SW1" or
"SW2" buttons (F6, F7 keys) in the pages of each mode that
allow such operations.
Tempo
Modulation sources other than Tempo are internally pro-
cessed as a value of 0–127 (–128 – +127). In contrast, Tempo
uses the tempo data (BPM value) of the internal clock or the
external MIDI clock. This means that when " " is 127 (BPM),
it will have the same result as the maximum value (+127) of
other modulation sources.

About the BPM/MIDI SYNC function

BPM/MIDI SYNC can be used for most effects that have an
LFO, such as 009: St.Wah/AutoW(Stereo Wah/Auto Wah),
and for some delay-type effects such as 049: LCR BPM
Delay. You can apply modulation that is synchronized to the
tempo, or specify the delay time in terms of a note value so
that the effect will synchronize to the tempo of the arpeggia-
tor pattern/RPPR, or external sequencer during a live per-
formance even if you change the tempo.
Parameters that allow BPM/MIDI SYNC to be used are
marked by a symbol at their right in the list of param-
eters for each effect.
Example 1. LFO
"BPM/MIDI Sync" On
"Base (Base Note)"
"Times" 1
In this case, each cycle of the LFO will be as long as one
quarter note.
LFO
If you set "BPM" to MIDI, the LFO will synchronize to the
tempo of the arpeggiator or pattern/RPPR (or to the exter-
nal MIDI clock). If "BPM" is in the range of 40–240, the spec-
ified value will be used.
Example 2. Delay Time
"L Bs (Base Note)"
"Times" 1
"R Bs (Base Note)"
"Times" 3
In this case, the delay time of the left channel will be the
duration of an eighth note, and the delay time of the right
channel will be the duration of a sixteenth note triplet.
