About this manual

This "Parameter Guide" contains explanations and other
information regarding the operations of the parameters and
settings on the TRITON proX, TRITON pro, and TRITON.
The explanations are organized by mode, page, and tab.
Explanations and other information on the effects and their
parameters are also provided for each effect.
Refer to this guide when an unfamiliar parameter appears in
the display, or when you need to know more about a partic-
ular function.

This command exchanges the settings of LFO1 and 2. If LFO2
has been selected as Frequency Modulation AMS1 or 2 of
LFO1, that setting will be cancelled for LFO2 after the LFO1
and 2 settings have been exchanged. If this is selected from
the OSC1 LFO1 or OSC1 LFO2 tab, the LFO1 and LFO2 of
OSC1 will be exchanged.
