Volume
Adjusts the volume of each timbre.
Create the overall sound by adjusting the volume bal-
ance between timbres. The "Volume" setting is an
important aspect of creating the sound, and this setting
will have a significant effect on the overall impression
produced by the combination.
Controller settings
Ctrls (Controls) page
For each combination, you can specify the functions of
the B-mode functions of REALTIME CONTROLS
knobs [1]–[4], and the "SW1" and "SW2." ( p.100, PG
p.36, 213, 214)
Settings for status, MIDI channel, and
playing mode
MIDI page
Status
Here you can specify the state of MIDI and the internal
tone generator for each timbre. Normally when sound-
ing the internal tone generator of the TRITON-Rack,
you will set this to INT. Set this to Off for timbres that
you are not using. With settings of Off, EXT, or EX2,
the TRITON-Rack will not sound. With settings of EXT
or EX2, you can control an external tone generator con-
nected via MIDI. ( PG p.36)
MIDI Channel
Sets the MIDI channel of the timbres that you wish to
sound to match the MIDI channel of the transmitting
device. When note data is received on a matching chan-
nel, the corresponding channel of the TRITON-Rack
will sound (if "Status" is set to INT).
Normally, you will set the MIDI channel of the trans-
mitting device to match the global MIDI channel of the
TRITON-Rack, and set this "MIDI Channel" parameter
to Gch. If this parameter is set to Gch, the MIDI chan-
nel of the timbre(s) will always match the global MIDI
channel even if you change the global MIDI channel.
On some preloaded combinations that use the arpeg-
giator, timbres assigned to the arpeggiator may not
have a "Status" of INT and "MIDI Ch" of Gch.
The reason for this is that these settings are for tim-
bres that sound only when the arpeggiator is on.
This is a very useful technique for creating combi-
nations that use the arpeggiator. Refer to "Arpeg-
giator settings in Combination and Multi modes"
( p.87, PG p.43), and study the relationship
between arpeggiator assignments, "Status," and
"MIDI Channel."
2.2: Ed–Ctrl
3.1: Ed–Param1
Bank(EX2) MSB, Bank(EX2) LSB
This setting is valid when "Status" is set to EX2. It spec-
ifies the Bank Select message that will be transmitted
from the TRITON-Rack.
OSC page
Force OSC Mode
Normally you will set this to PRG.
If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound
monophonically, set this either to Mono or LGT
(Legato). Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to
force a monophonic program to play polyphonically
( PG p.37).
OSC Select
Normally you will set this to Both.
If the timbre is using a program whose "Mode (Oscilla-
tor Mode)" is Double, and you want only OSC1 or
OSC2 (not both) to sound, set this to OSC1 (only OSC1
will sound) or OSC2 (only OSC2 will sound).
Portamento
Normally you will set this to PRG.
If you want the portamento setting specified for the
program of the timbre to be forced off, set this parame-
ter to Off. Conversely, if you want to forcibly turn the
portamento on, or to change the portamento time, set
this to a value of 001–127 to specify the portamento
time.
Pitch page
Transpose, Detune (BPM Adj.)
These parameters adjust the pitch of the timbre.
• In a layer-type combination, you can set two or
more timbres to the same program, and create a
richer sound by using "Transpose" to shift their
pitch apart by an octave or by using "Detune" to
create a slight difference in pitch between the two.
• In split-type combinations, you can use
"Transpose" to shift the pitch (in semitone units) of
the programs specified for each key zone.
• If you wish to change the playback pitch of a drum
program, use "Detune." If you change the
"Transpose" setting, the correspondence between
notes and drum sounds will change.
