Playing with a computer/
sequencer (Multi mode)
Use Multi mode when you want the TRITON-Rack to
simultaneously play multiple tracks of musical data
sent from your computer/sequencer. This section
explains basic operation of Multi mode.
For details on controlling the TRITON-Rack via
MIDI, refer to "MIDI applications" ( PG p.221).
The TRITON-Rack can be used as a 16-channel multi-
timbral tone generator. It has 16 tracks, and a different
program sound can be assigned to each track. A track
is analogous to a musician in a band. In other words,
the TRITON-Rack is able to play up to 16-member
ensembles. For example, you might assign drums to
track 1, bass to track 2, and piano to track 3, etc.
Settings such as volume and pan can also be adjusted
independently for each track. In addition, the control
track lets you use the realtime controllers or "SW1"
and "SW2" to modify the sounds.
You can also use RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Record-
ing) or the arpeggiator to perform in synchronization
with your computer/sequencer.
Before you continue, you should make connections as
described in the preceding chapter, "Setup." For "Con-
necting MIDI equipment," follow the example given
for "Connecting a sequencer (computer)."
