When connections are made as shown above, turn on the
Echo Back function of the external MIDI sequencer or com-
puter (so that data received at MIDI IN will be re-transmit-
ted from MIDI OUT), and turn off the TRITON Extreme's
Local Control setting (so that the TRITON Extreme's key-
board and tone generator will be internally disconnected).
When you play the keyboard of the TRITON Extreme, the
musical data will be transmitted to the external MIDI
sequencer or computer, and then echoed back to play the
TRITON Extreme's tone generator. In other words, by turn-
ing Local Control OFF, you can prevent notes from being
sounded in duplicate, as would otherwise occur if a note
were sounded by the TRITON Extreme's own keyboard and
again by the data that was echoed-back.
If the arpeggiator function is on, playing the TRITON
Extreme's keyboard will not cause the arpeggiator to oper-
ate, and only the musical data produced by playing the key-
board will be transmitted. The arpeggiator will operate only
in response to the notes that are echoed-back and received at
MIDI IN. In this way, turning off Local Control prevents the
arpeggiator from operating in duplicate.
Use this setting when you wish to record on the external
MIDI sequencer or computer only the notes that trigger the
arpeggiator, and to use the echoed-back notes to operate the
arpeggiator while monitoring your recording or during
playback.
If you want the note data produced by the arpeggiator
to be recorded on the external sequencer/computer, set
Local Control on, and turn off the Echo Back setting of
the external sequencer/computer.
To turn off Local Control, press the "Local Control On"
(Global P1: 1–1a) check box to uncheck it.
When using the TRITON Extreme by itself, leave Local Con-
trol turned on. (If this is off when the TRITON Extreme is
used by itself, playing the keyboard will not produce
sound.)
■ Messages transmitted and received
MIDI messages can be exchanged when the transmitting
and receiving devices are set to the same MIDI channel.
MIDI uses sixteen channels, numbered 1–16. The way in
which channels are handled will differ depending on the
MIDI MIDI
mode.
