external tone generator connected to MIDI OUT will
sound, and the tempo of an external sequencer can be
controlled.
Pattern/RPPR: The musical data can be played back and
controlled on the TRITON-Rack. Simultaneously, the pat-
tern/RPPR playback will be transmitted via MIDI from
tracks whose "Status" is BTH, EXT, or EX2. An external
tone generator connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and
the tempo of an external sequencer can be controlled.
Recording the MIDI output of the TRITON-
Rack's controllers, arpeggiator, and RPPR
on an external sequencer/computer
If you wish to record the MIDI output of the TRITON-Rack's
controllers, arpeggiator, and RPPR on an external sequencer
or computer and use the TRITON-Rack as the monitoring
and playback tone generator while you record, you must
turn off the TRITON-Rack's Local Control setting ("Local
Control On": GLOBAL 2.1–1a), and set your external
sequencer/computer for echo-back (a function by which the
data received at MIDI IN is retransmitted without change
from MIDI OUT) so that the data from the TRITON-Rack's
controllers, arpeggiator and RPPR will not be applied in
duplicate to the tone generator.
Using the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs to
record MIDI control changes on an external MIDI
sequencer/computer
Set the TRITON-Rack to Local Control Off. Set the external
MIDI sequencer/computer to Echo Back On. With these set-
tings, recording and playback will occur correctly, and the
control changes will not be applied to the tone generator in
duplicate.
Recording the arpeggiator or RPPR on an external
MIDI sequencer/computer
If the arpeggiator is on, it will operate on the notes received
at MIDI IN. The arpeggiator will transmit notes from MIDI
OUT depending on the local control setting ("Local Control
On": GLOBAL 2.1–1a) as described below.
When the RPPR function is on, RPPR will function for notes
that are received on the MIDI channel of the track that is
selected as the "Control Track." Notes will be transmitted by
RPPR from MIDI OUT according to the local control setting
("Local Control On": GLOBAL 2.1–1a) as described below.
Local Control On: Notes from the arpeggiator or RPPR will
be transmitted from MIDI OUT. Normally you will use this
setting.
Local Control Off: Notes from the arpeggiator or RPPR will
not be transmitted from MIDI OUT. The arpeggiator or
RPPR will only sound the notes (on the TRITON-Rack).
Setting example 1
Record the note messages generated by the arpeggiator or
RPPR on the external MIDI sequencer/computer
Turn on the TRITON-Rack's arpeggiator or RPPR function.
Set the TRITON-Rack to Local Control On.
Turn Local Control On for the TRITON-Rack.
Turn Echo Back Off on your external sequencer/computer.
By turning echo back off, you will prevent the arpeggiator or
RPPR from performing duplicate processing on the moni-
tored notes during recording.
During playback, turn off the arpeggiator and RPPR func-
tions of the TRITON-Rack.

Setting example 2
Use the external MIDI sequencer/computer to record only
the notes that trigger the arpeggiator or RPPR, and operate
the TRITON-Rack's arpeggiator or RPPR for monitoring
while recording, and during playback.
Turn on the TRITON-Rack's arpeggiator or RPPR function.
Set the TRITON-Rack to Local Control Off. The note mes-
sages generated by the arpeggiator or RPPR will not be out-
put. On your external MIDI sequencer/computer, turn echo
back on. With these settings, the data will be recorded and
played correctly, and the arpeggiator will not be applied in
duplicate.
About GM/GS/XG
The TRITON-Rack supports the GM standard. It also sup-
ports the GM2 sound map (including bank select) with 256
programs and 9 drum programs provided in ROM banks G,
g(1)–g(9), and g(d). (Banks g(1)–g(9) are GM2 variation pro-
grams, and g(d) contains drum programs.)
GM is a standard that ensures basic compatibility of sounds
etc. between different GM-compatible instruments made by
different manufacturers, but you need to be aware of the fol-
lowing.
• The GM System On message is received only in Multi
mode. ( p.51 "GM Initialize")
Roland GS and Yamaha XG are specifications by which these
respective manufacturers have extended the GM standard.
The TRITON-Rack automatically converts the GS/XG
sound maps to the GM2 sound map, and supports some of
their messages. In Multi mode etc., GS/XG music data can
be played back from an external sequencer.
Since the TRITON-Rack does not support all of the GS/
XG sound maps or messages, some data may not be
played back correctly.
If you wish to play music data from an external GM/GS/XG
compatible sequencer, or to load it into a pattern (multi), set
"Bank Map" (GLOBAL 1.1–2a) to GM(2).
Converting the GS/XG bank/program maps to the
GM2 bank/program map
• When bank select/program change messages used by
GS/XG are received, they will automatically be
converted to the G, g(1)–g(9), g(d) bank/program map
of the TRITON-Rack.
• The same conversion is performed when a SMF is
loaded into a pattern (multi) in Disk mode.
For banks that are used in common by GS/XG, GS
Reset/XG System ON will be received to automatically
convert to the optimal bank/program map for each.
Support for GS/XG part mode exclusive messages
• In Multi mode when GS/XG part mode exclusive
messages Drum or MDrm 1–4 are received, bank g(d)
(GM2 drum bank) will be selected for the specified track.
Until this part mode state is defeated, bank select
messages will no longer be received for the specified
track.
• When an SMF is loaded into a pattern (multi) in Disk
mode, any bank select messages in a track that is set to a
part mode of Drum or MDrm 1–4 will be ignored, and
will not be loaded.
