About System Exclusive Messages - Korg Triton-Rack Parameter Manual

NRPN arpeggiator on/off
[Bn, 63, 00, Bn, 62, 02, Bn, 06, mm]
This message will be transmitted when you press the [ARP
ON/OFF] key. When the switch is turned ON the data will
be mm=127 [7F], and when turned OFF the data will be
mm=0 [00], and the arpeggiator will be turned on/off
accordingly.
Similarly, the arpeggiator will be turned on/off when this
message is received. (ON when mm is 64 [40] or greater, and
OFF when 63 [3F] or less.)
NRPN arpeggiator gate control
[Bn, 63, 00, Bn, 62, 0A, Bn, 06, mm]
This message will be transmitted when you operate the
[ARP-GATE] knob (REALTIME CONTROLS [2] knob in C-
mode), and the arpeggiator gate will change. The same
effect will be applied when this message is received.
NRPN arpeggiator velocity control
[Bn, 63, 00, Bn, 62, 0B, Bn, 06, mm]
This message will be transmitted when you operate the
[ARP-VELOCITY] knob (REALTIME CONTROLS [3] knob
in C-mode), and the arpeggiator velocity will change. The
same effect will be applied when this message is received.

About system exclusive messages

Since the way in which these messages are used is left up to
each manufacturer, they are mainly used to transmit and
receive sound data and editing data for parameters that are
unique to a particular instrument. The TRITON-Rack's sys-
tem exclusive message format is [F0, 42, 3n, 50, ff, ..... F7]
F0: exclusive status
42: Korg ID
3d: [n=0–F] global MIDI channel 1–16
50: TRITON model ID
ff: function ID (type of message)
– ...
F7: end of exclusive
All models of the TRITON series use the same model ID.
Exclusive data can be exchanged between models of the
TRITON series.
The TRITON-Rack uses the same model ID as the TRI-
TON/TRITONpro/TRITONproX (TRITON keyboard
models). Exclusive data can be exchanged between var-
ious models of the TRITON series. ( p.235 "Data com-
patibility")

includes MIDI exclusive format information, please

Universal system exclusive
Certain of the system exclusive messages are publicly
defined for a specific use, and these are called universal sys-
tem exclusive messages.
The TRITON-Rack uses the following six universal system
exclusive messages.
Inquiry message request [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 01, F7]
Inquiry message [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 02, (nine bytes), F7]
When an inquiry message request is received, the TRITON
will respond by transmitting an inquiry message that means
"I am a Korg TRITON series instrument, with system ver-
sion ..."
GM system on [F0, 7E, nn, 09, 01, F7]
When this message is received in Multi mode, the TRITON-
Rack will be initialized for GM playback.
226
Master volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7]
(vv: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the value,
together indicating 16384 steps)
This message is transmitted if you assign Master Volume as
a B-mode function of a REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knob
and operate the controller. This will adjust the overall vol-
ume balance without changing the relative volume balance
between timbres/tracks. When this message is received, the
result will be the same as when the controller is operated.
Master balance [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 02, vv, mm, F7]
(vv: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the value,
together indicating 16384 steps, where 8192 is the default
position, and lower values will move the sound toward the
left)
When this is received, the overall panning will be adjusted
without changing the relative panning between timbres/
tracks.
Master fine tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]
(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 4096 [mm, vv=20,
00] is -50 cents, and 12288 [mm, vv=60, 00] is +50 cents.)
When this is received, the GLOBAL 1.1–1a "Master Tune"
parameter will be set.
Master coarse tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 04, vv, mm, F7]
(Normally only the upper byte mm is used. A value of 8192
[mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 6656 [mm, vv=34, 00] is -12 semi-
tones, and 9728 [mm, vv=4C, 00] is +12 semitones.)
When this is received, the GLOBAL 1.1–1a"Key Transpose"
parameter will be set.
Transmitting sound settings data (Data Dump)
Data for programs, combinations, drum kits, user arpeggio
patterns, global settings, and multi data can be transmitted
as MIDI exclusive messages. The operation of sending this
system exclusive data to an external device is called a "data
dump."
By performing a data dump, you can store the TRITON-
Rack's sounds and settings on an external device, or rewrite
the sounds and settings of another TRITON series instru-
ment.
There are the following three types of data dump.
• When you use the GLOBAL 2.1–1c "Dump" page menu
command to dump data, various types of internal
memory data will be transmitted. If this data is received
by the TRITON-Rack, the data will be written directly
into internal memory, and it will not be necessary to
perform the Write operation. ( p.113, 114
"Transmission," "Reception")
• If the GLOBAL 2.1–1b "MIDI Filter" - "Exclusive"
setting is checked, selecting a combination in COMBI
1.1: Play will transmit data for one combination.
Selecting a program in PROG 1.1: Play will transmit
data for one program.
This data is the edit buffer data for the currently selected
combination or program. If this data is received by the
TRITON-Rack, the data will be written into the edit
buffer, so if you wish to save it to internal memory, you
will need to perform the Write operation. The Write oper-
ation can also be performed by a MIDI exclusive Pro-
gram Write Request or Combination Write Request
message, in addition to the usual method of using the
TRITON's switches. ( BG p.36 "Saving data")
• If the GLOBAL 2.1–1b "MIDI Filter" - "Exclusive"
setting is checked, data will also be dumped in response
to a Dump Request message. This data is transmitted
and received on the global MIDI channel.
