About Option Boards/Memory/Calendar Battery; Checking After Installation - Korg TRITON Extreme Manual

• When installing the battery, be careful not to drop it
inside the device.
If you drop the battery inside the device and are unable
to retrieve it, please contact your Korg distributor.
About option boards/memory/calen-
dar battery
By installing option boards or memory into your TRITON
Extreme, you can expand its functionality. The following
two types of expansion are possible.
● EXB-MOSS (DSP synthesizer board)
This adds to the TRITON Extreme a MOSS tone generator
that provides thirteen oscillator algorithms, including Stan-
dard, Ring Modulation, VPM, Resonance, Organ Model, and
Electric Piano Model. This lets you use the MOSS tone gen-
erator in program, combination, multi modes. The MOSS
tone generator has six-note polyphony.
DRAM SIMM (sample data memor y modules)
■
These can be used as sample data memory. Up to three 72-
pin DRAM SIMM (either 16 Mbytes or 32 Mbytes) modules
can be installed, providing a maximum of 96 Mbytes.
(☞"Caution when purchasing DRAM SIMM modules")
DRAM SIMM boards are not a manufacturer option.
Please purchase commercially-available boards that are
sold for use in computers.
In order to achieve the maximum 96 Mbytes capacity,
you will need to remove the 16 Mbytes DRAM SIMM
that is standard, and install three 32 Mbytes DRAM
SIMM boards.
The memory banks and sampling time will depend on
the capacity of the DRAM SIMM boards you install,
and on the slot locations. (☞p.106)
Caution when purchasing DRAM SIMM modules
Some commercially available DRAM SIMM modules
cannot be used on the TRITON Extreme. Before you
purchase memory modules, please check the following
points.
Types of DRAM SIMM modules that can be used on the
TRITON Extreme
• 72-pin 16 Mbytes or 32 Mbytes
• Access time of 60 ns or less
• Address input 11 bit (A0–A10)
• Power supply voltage 5 V
DRAM SIMM modules that meet the above requirements
can be used.
If you have any questions regarding the type of DRAM
SIMM modules that can be used, please contact your local
Korg distributor .
Calendar battery
■
This battery maintains the date and time that are recorded
when data is saved. Use a CR2032 type battery.
CR2032 batteries that can be used in the TRITON Extreme
• CR2032 batteries manufactured by Sony or Panasonic.

Checking after installation

When the TRITON Extreme is turned on, the currently
installed option boards/memory will be shown in the
LCD screen.
After installing an option board/memory, be sure to
turn on the power and make sure that the option
board/memory that you installed is displayed in the
LCD screen.
If it is not displayed, the installation may not have been
performed correctly. Check once again that the board is
installed correctly.
If the calendar battery is not installed correctly, or if the
battery voltage has run low, the LCD screen will show a
message of "Battery voltage for calendar IC is low"
when the power is turned on. Please make sure that
you are using a battery that has not run down, and that
the battery is installed correctly.
If you have any questions regarding installation, please
contact your local Korg distributor .
