produced by a program. You can also make settings
that include external tone generators.
With the factory settings, 512 user combinations
suitable for a wide range of styles are preloaded in
banks INT-A–INT-D.
• When one or more separately sold EXB-PCM
options are installed (up to eight boards),
programs and combinations for the corresponding
EXB-PCM can be loaded into user program banks/
user combination banks EXB-A–EXB-H.
Sampling
Rivaling dedicated sampling devices, the TRITON-
Rack features 48 kHz 16-bit linear mono/stereo sam-
pling with a maximum of 96 Mbytes of memory, allow-
ing you to create original sounds from your own audio
material.
For more on the sampling features of the TRITON-
Rack ( p.65).
Multi
Multi-track musical data can be received from an exter-
nal sequencer etc. to play the TRITON-Rack as a 16-
track MIDI multi-timbral tone generator. The effects,
two arpeggiators, and the RPPR function can be used
together, allowing the TRITON-Rack to function as a
sophisticated sound-generating system with capabili-
ties far beyond those of conventional tone generator
modules.
For more about the TRITON-Rack's multis, refer to
p.56.
Dual polyphonic arpeggiator
In addition to providing conventional arpeggiator
functionality, the polyphonic arpeggiator of the TRI-
TON-Rack can respond to the pitches or timing at
which you play the keyboard, and produce a diverse
range of chords or phrases. This can be used to play a
variety of drum phrases, bass phrases, or guitar and
keyboard backing riffs. The arpeggiator is also effective
for use with subtly moving pads, synth sounds, or
sound effects.
Five preset arpeggio patterns and 328 user arpeggio
patterns are provided. With the factory settings, these
contain a wide variety of 200 preloaded user arpeggio
patterns.
In Combination mode, and Multi mode, the TRITON-
Rack provides dual arpeggiators that can simulta-
neously play two arpeggio patterns. You can apply
separate arpeggio patterns to drum and bass pro-
grams, or use keyboard splits or velocity to switch
between arpeggio patterns for an even more dynamic
performance.
RPPR
The TRITON-Rack features a RPPR (Realtime Pattern
Play/Recording) function. In Multi mode, this function
allows you to assign preset patterns or user patterns
(with a specified playback track) to individual notes of
the keyboard, and playback or record that pattern in
realtime simply by pressing the assigned note. The
TRITON-Rack provides 150 preset patterns that can be
shared by all multis. In addition, each multi can use
2
100 user patterns.
When you execute the Time Slice function of Sampling
mode, a drum phrase or similar sample will be divided
into beats, and simultaneously a corresponding pattern
will be created and assigned to RPPR.
2 channel audio input/6 channel audio out-
put, S/P DIF OUT
• The two channel audio input allows you to record
samples in stereo. The MIC/LINE level select
switch and the level adjustment knob can be used
to support a wide range of external audio sources
from mic level to line level.
The audio inputs can also be routed through the
effects. You can apply effects while sampling, use
the TRITON-Rack as a 2-in/6-out effect processor, or
use it as a vocoder effect that joins the external
source with the TRITON-Rack's internal sounds.
• In addition to the L/MONO and R main stereo
audio outputs, the TRITON-Rack provides four
individual audio outputs, for a total of six channels
of audio output. The sound from each oscillator,
drum, timbre/track, or insertion effect can be
routed freely to any output.
• S/P DIF OUT is standard, for digital (48 kHz)
output of the same audio signal as the L/MONO
and R main stereo audio outputs.
