combinations, the parameters for one program or one com-
bination will be transmitted together with the program
change. When you edit individual parameters, parameter
change, drum kit parameter change, user arpeggio pattern
parameter change messages or song parameter change mes-
sage will be transmitted.
When these messages are received, the same editing opera-
tion will be performed as on the transmitted device.
After MIDI exclusive data has been received and processed,
a Data Load Completed message will be transmitted. The
control master device must not transmit the next message
until this message is received (or until a sufficient interval of
time has elapsed).
When you change programs or combinations, or use param-
eter changes to edit, the changes will affect the data in the
edit buffer and will not be stored in internal memory unless
you Write, so that the changes will be lost if you re-select the
program or combination. The Write operation can be per-
formed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request or Com-
bination Write Request message, in addition to the usual
method of using the TRITON Extreme's switches. ("Writing
to internal memory" ☞OG p.114)
It is not necessary to write a song, but it will not be backed
up when the power is turned off. If you wish to keep the
data, save it on media before turning off the power. ("Saving
on media" ☞OG p.117)
If notes are "stuck"
If for some reason, notes become "stuck" and will not stop
sounding, you can usually stop the sound by changing the
mode. If notes played via MIDI are stuck, you can discon-
nect the MIDI cable.
MIDI transmits a message called Active Sensing [FE] at reg-
ular intervals. A device that receives this message will be
aware that an external MIDI device is transmitting to it. Sub-
sequently, if no MIDI messages are received for a certain
interval of time, the receiving device will decide that the
connection has been broken, and will turn off any notes that
had been sounded via MIDI and reset its controller values.
Playing the TRITON Extreme multi-tim-
brally from an external device
The TRITON Extreme can be connected to an external
device and played multi-timbrally in the following ways.
• MIDI messages from the external device can play a
combination (8-part multi-timbral performance). You
can change the overall settings (programs, levels, and
effects) by using program change messages to switch
combinations.
• MIDI messages from the external device can be used to
play a song (16-part multi-timbral performance). Overall
settings (programs, levels, effects etc.) can be changed by
using a Song Select message to switch songs. (Song
Select messages can be received if "MIDI Clock": Global
P1: 1–1a is set to External MIDI or External USB.)
• MIDI Clock messages from the external device can be
used to make the TRITON Extreme playback a song (set
"MIDI Clock" to External MIDI or External USB, and
run the TRITON Extreme's sequencer).
(☞"Synchronizing the playback of the arpeggiator or
sequencer") You can change the overall settings
(programs, levels, effects) by using song select messages
to switch songs.

Synchronizing the playback of the arpeg-
giator or sequencer
The choice of whether the TRITON Extreme will be the mas-
ter (the controlling device) or the slave (the controlled
device) is made by "MIDI Clock" (Global P1: 1–1a).
Using the TRITON Extreme as master and the external
MIDI device as slave
Connect the TRITON Extreme's MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device. (☞p.288)
Alternatively, connect the TRITON Extreme's USB B connec-
tor to the USB connector of your external MIDI device.
• When you set "MIDI Clock" to Internal, the TRITON
Extreme will be the master device, and will transmit
MIDI timing clock messages.
Arpeggiator: The tempo can be controlled from the TRI-
TON Extreme. Simultaneously, the performance of the
arpeggiator will be transmitted via MIDI. (In Combina-
tion, Sequencer, and Song Play modes, data will be trans-
mitted by timbres/tracks whose "Status" is BTH, EXT, or
EX2.) An external tone generator connected to MIDI OUT
will sound, and the tempo of an external sequencer can
be controlled.
Sequencer: The musical data can be played back and
controlled on the TRITON Extreme. Simultaneously, the
sequencer playback will be transmitted via MIDI from
tracks whose "Status" is BTH, EXT, or EX2. An external
tone generator connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and
the tempo of an external sequencer can be controlled.
Using the external MIDI device as master and the TRI-
TON Extreme as slave
Connect the TRITON Extreme's MIDI IN connector to the
MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device. (☞p.288)
Alternatively, connect the USB connector of your external
MIDI device to the TRITON Extreme's USB B connector.
• When you set "MIDI Clock" to External MIDI or
External USB, the TRITON Extreme will be the slave
device.
Arpeggiator: The tempo will follow the MIDI timing
clock. If you playback the external sequencer, the TRI-
TON Extreme's arpeggiator will synchronize to the exter-
nal timing clock. (☞OG p.102)
Even if "MIDI Clock" is External MIDI or External USB
and the TRITON Extreme is being controlled from the
external device, the performance of the arpeggiator will
still be transmitted via MIDI. (In Combination and
Sequencer modes, the arpeggiator performance will be
transmitted from timbres/tracks whose "Status" is BTH,
EXT, or EX2.)
Sequencer: It will not be possible to control the playback
from the TRITON Extreme; playback will be controlled
by the external device connected to the TRITON
Extreme's MIDI IN. If you wish to playback the external
sequencer to make the TRITON Extreme's sequencer
playback in synchronization to the external timing clock,
you must first set the same time signature and starting
measure locations on both devices.
