Korg Triton-Rack Basic Manual page 14

The MIC/LINE level select switch ([MIC/LINE]
switch) and the level adjustment knob ([INPUT]
knob) allow you to use a wide range of external
audio sources, from mic level to line level.
AUDIO INPUT 1/2 jacks
These are unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks. ( p.107).
[MIC/LINE] switch
This switches the input level of the AUDIO INPUT
1/2 jacks ( p.107).
5. AUDIO OUTPUT
Connect these outputs to the input jacks of your
amp or mixer. In addition to the L/MONO and R
main stereo audio outputs, the TRITON-Rack pro-
vides four individual audio outputs. The sound
from each oscillator, drum, timbre/track, or inser-
tion effect can be freely routed to any output
( p.95–).
(MAIN) L/MONO, R jacks
These are unbalanced phone jacks ( p.106).
These are the main audio output jacks. By setting
"Bus Select" to L/R, the output from an oscillator,
an insertion effect, an individual drum part, or the
metronome can be output to the (MAIN) L/
MONO and R jacks.
When making connections in stereo, use L/
MONO and R. When making connections in
mono, use the L/MONO jack.
(INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, 4 jacks
These are unbalanced phone jacks ( p.106).
These are individual (independent) audio output
jacks. By several times to make the "Bus Select" to
1, 2, 3, 4, 1/2, or 3/4, an oscillator, an insertion
effect, an individual drum part, or the metronome
etc. can be assigned to be output from the (INDI-
VIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, 4, jacks. The output from the 1, 2,
3, 4 jacks is not affected by the [OUTPUT] knob.
6. SCSI connector (separately sold EXB-SCSI
option)
Use a SCSI cable to connect SCSI-compatible
devices (hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives etc.)
here ( p.14, PG p.243).
7. DIGITAL (separately sold EXB-DI option)
OUT jack
This is an ADAT optical format digital output con-
nector.
It outputs the six channels of the TRITON-Rack's
AUDIO OUTPUT jacks (MAIN) L/MONO, R,
(INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, 4 (analog audio outputs) as
digital audio with a sampling rate of 48 kHz.
These signals are output as channels 1 through 6 of
the ADAT optical format.
8
By connecting this to the DIGITAL IN jack of an
ADAT Optical format compatible mixer, amp, or
recorder etc., you can send the audio signal output
of the TRITON-Rack in digital form to an external
mixer, amp, or recorder etc. Use an optical cable
made by the Alesis Corporation or an optical cable
for CD/DAT (both sold separately) to make this
connection ( p.14, PG p.243, p.273).
The [OUTPUT] knob does not adjust the output
level of this connector.
48 kHz WORD CLOCK IN jack
Connect this to the WORD CLOCK OUT jack of an
ADAT Optical format compatible mixer or remote
controller. Use this when you want the connected
device to be the word clock master and the TRI-
TON-Rack to be the word clock slave for synchro-
nization. Use an BNC coax cable made by the
Alesis Corporation or a video BNC cable (both
sold separately) to make this connection.
8. mLAN (separately sold EXB-mLAN
option)
A special cable is used to connect mLAN-compati-
ble devices or computers. ( p.14, PG p.243)
mLAN (IEEE 1394) 1, 2, 3 jacks
SERIAL I/O connector
For details refer to the manual included with the
EXB-mLAN.
What is mLAN?
mLAN is a new standard for musical instruments that uses
the general-purpose IEEE 1394 interface (a general-purpose
interface with a wide range of uses including current and dig-
ital AV devices) with a special transmission protocol for musi-
cal data. It allows high quality digital audio and MIDI data to
be simultaneously transmitted and received over a single
cable. At a transmission speed of 200 Mbps, approximately
100 channels of audio data or 256 ports of MIDI data (i.e., 16
channels x 256 connectors) can be transmitted and received
over a single cable.
mLAN provides unprecedented flexibility, allowing you to
daisy-chain up to 63 devices, and even to reconfigure the
input and output connections between devices without actu-
ally disconnecting the mLAN cable. Even sophisticated set-
ups in the studio or on stage are made easy by mLAN.
