Realtime Recording; Realtime-Recording An Arpeggio Pattern - Korg TRITON Quick Start Manual

Realtime recording

Realtime recording is a method of recording in which
your performance on the keyboard and controllers (joy-
stick etc.) is recorded "as is." In this example, let's use
realtime recording to record the keyboard part.
7 Use "Track Select" to select the track that you want
to record. In this example, select Track02: Bass.
Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to play
back, so you can rehearse the phrase you want to
record. When you are finished rehearsing, press the
SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop playback.
Press the [LOCATE] key.
When recording rapid or difficult phrases, you can
slow down the tempo and record at a more comfortable
tempo. Simply adjust the " (Tempo)." After recording,
restore the original tempo.
You can use the Quantize and Resolution functions to
correct the timing of your performance as it is recorded.
For example during realtime recording, suppose that
you input eighth notes at slightly inaccurate timing, as
shown in line 1 of the diagram below. If you set "Reso"
(Resolution) to and performed realtime recording, the
timing would automatically be corrected as shown in
line 2. With a setting of Hi, the performance will be
recorded with the exact timing at which it was played.
Independent of this function, there is also a page
menu command "Quantize" (P5: Track Edit, Track
Edit page) that can be used to correct the timing of
performance data that has already been recorded. If
data (recorded without using Realtime Quantize)
falls at the timings shown in the above figure 1, then
when played back, it will be corrected to the timings
shown in figure 2 if you set "Quantize" to a "Reso-
lution" of and press the OK button.
You can use "Quantize" to add a sense of "swing."

8 Press the SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key.
You will hear the metronome. The TRITON Extreme
will be in record-ready mode.

9 Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key.
After a two-measure count, recording will begin.
Play the keyboard for about 16 measures, and record
your performance.
If you make a mistake or decide to re-record, press
the [START/STOP] key to stop recording, and press
the [COMPARE] key.
When you press the [COMPARE] key to execute the
Compare function, you will return to the state prior
to recording.
10 When you are satisfied with your performance,
press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop
recording.
For example if your performance in measures 5–8 was
the best take, you can use the Track Play Loop function
to repeatedly play back just this portion.
In the P0: Play/REC, PlayLoop T01–08 page, check
"Track Play Loop" for track 2, set "Loop Start Measure"
to 005, and set "Loop End Measure" to 008.
When you press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key,
repeated playback will begin.
After you press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key
to stop playback. You will automatically return to the
measure at which recording began. We recommend that
you press the [LOCATE] key to return to the beginning
of the song.
11 In the same way, use "Track Select" to choose Track
03: Elec.Piano, and record about 16 measures.

Realtime-recording an arpeggio pattern

The performance of an arpeggio pattern can be recorded
into a song. With the settings of this template song, the
arpeggiator will function on track 4.
1 In "Track Select," choose Track04: Guitar.
2 Press the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key.
Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key and
3
play single notes or chords.
Verify that arpeggios are sounded in synchroniza-
tion with the tempo of the drum and bass perfor-
mance, and rehearse your performance.
4 Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop
playback.
Then press the [LOCATE] key to return to the
beginning of the song.
5 Start recording.
Press the SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key, and
then press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key.
If you play notes on the keyboard during the count-
in, the arpeggio will wait and begin at the same time
that recording begins.
