Headphones
When using headphones, plug them into the head-
phones jack located on the front panel.

3. Connecting audio input devices

Here, you can connect or the OUTPUT jacks of external
audio devices to the AUDIO INPUT 1, 2 jacks.
In Sampling mode these jacks sample the sound
input from an external source.
For details on settings in Sampling mode, refer to
p.29, p.68.
In Program, Combination, and Multi modes, the
sound input from an external source can be moni-
tored, processed by effects, and output to the OUT-
PUT jacks.
For details on the settings in these modes for rout-
ing sound to the OUTPUT jacks, refer to p.97.
4. Connecting digital recording equip-
ment
Connect the S/P DIF OUT (MAIN) jack of the TRI-
TON-Rack to a DAT or MD that has an S/P DIF IN
jack.
The S/P DIF OUT (MAIN) jack outputs the same
audio signal as the AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/
MONO and R jacks, at a sampling frequency of
48 kHz.

Connecting MIDI equipment

The TRITON-Rack produces sound when it receives
MIDI messages from another MIDI device such as a
MIDI keyboard or sequencer (computer).
Headphone
Use a MIDI cable to make these connections.

MIDI channel settings
MIDI messages are conveyed when the transmitting
and receiving devices are set to matching MIDI chan-
nels. There are sixteen MIDI channels, 1–16. Channels
are handled differently, depending on the mode.
Initially, select MIDI channel 1 on the MIDI
instrument that is connected to the TRITON-Rack
to control it.
With the factory settings, the global MIDI channel
(GLOBAL 2.1: MIDI "MIDI Channel") is set to 1. In
Program mode and Sampling mode, MIDI messages
are transmitted and received on the global MIDI chan-
nel. With the factory settings, the various combinations
in Combination mode are also set to be operated on
the global MIDI channel. Multi mode is usually used
to receive channel messages transmitted from a
sequencer (computer) so that multiple channels can be
controlled independently. ( PG p.221)
