If there is a risk of thunderstorms or if not using the product for a longer period of time, unplug the appliance from the wall. This appliance, used alone, with an amplifier or with earphones, can produce sound levels which could provoke terminal loss of hearing.
We all imagine ethereal, stratospherical, totally unique strings sounds or warm and swirling notes of a simple guitar. All have something in common, the use of a chorus, often multiple (bi or tri). The Triko allows you to rediscover the magic of these enveloping sounds while also offering you the chance to discover yet unknown landscapes.

Back IEC power cord socket (included). Make sure that the cable is properly inserted and solidary with the socket. Midi Out 5-pin DIN socket. This socket can be configured as Midi Thru in the System menu. Midi In 5-pin DIN socket. 8 mono line inputs, 50 KOhms, 6.35mm asymmetrical TS jacks.
If you use an optional card like FV-1 (Echo + Reverberation), FX and DRY mastering on The Triko is recommended. In this case, the output signal (outputs 5 or 6) is sent to the input of a stereo section of your mixing console.
Using The Triko The Triko has 128 programs which remember the 8-channel premixer settings, the three Chorus settings , the Master settings and the optional card settings. An option in the System Menu (Mix = Prg / Glb) allows controlling the premixer independent of the programs.
Vo l um e a n d b ala nc e c on t r ols In each section of The Triko, like for each of the 8 inputs, you can set the volume and the balance. Each of these controls uses a digital potentiometer (digipot) that could be imagined as a gradual attenuator of resistors with a digital switch.
S e t ti n g I n pu t L ev e l The 100% analogue signal path in The Triko and the use of BBD delaying lines require to adjust the input volume for optimal signal / noise ratio. To help you with this, a three LED display shows continuously the input signal level.

D-MOD Mod=Lev Amp=25 The Triko allows to modulate some parameters through the information of a source: envelope of the entry signal, Midi velocity, Midi knob or Midi Aftertouch Channel. MOD allows to select the destination of this modulation: Non = (None) None ...

SHL = Reverberation "Small Hall" LHL = Reverberation "Hall" BAL = Reverberation "Baloran" Flt (0..63) sets the frequency of the low-pass filter applied to the input signal. This allows muting the repetitions or reflections. An invaluable setting! Control of delay and re-injection.
Ch=All Out=Out Ch sets the Midi channel on The Triko. Select ALL to accept all channels. Otherwise select a value between 1 and 16. The channel is used for dynamic information (see section Master) and for driving the Midi through The Triko (Control Change, Program Change, NRPN).
Th e F V- 1 car d With a highly performant as well as very musical digital core and its analogue routing, the FV-1 card brings two important main functionalities to The Triko: The echo With the FV-1 we have succeeded to generate algorithms and modulations very close to those of a venerated tape echo (Space Echo): the Tape modulation is a real recording of the wow of its model.
Full control of The Triko through MIDI Control Change In the next chapter you will find a table of all the MIDI commands of The Triko. This will show you how to easily adapt your master keyboard, your MIDI hardware controller (surface, pedal, etc.) or your software environment in order to control The Triko.
