Sampling Mode - Korg TRITON Musical Instrument User Manual

Sampling Mode

TRITON features 48 kHz 16 - bit linear mono or stereo sampling. TRITON, TRITONpro and TRITONproX
come standard with 16 Mbytes of sample RAM on an internal 72-pin SIMM module, giving you recording time
of almost 3 minutes in mono, and well over 1 minute in stereo. You can easily and affordably expand
TRITON's sample RAM to 64 Mbytes with user - installable and commercially - available SIMMS modules.
There's two internal slots for the SIMMS modules, and they can be configured in the following ways: 2 - 16
Mbyte SIMMS give you 32 Mbytes sample RAM, 1 - 16 Mbyte and 1 - 32 Mbyte SIMMS equals 48 Mbytes
sample RAM, and 2 - 32 Mbyte SIMMS take TRITON to 64 Mbytes sample RAM - this allows total recording
time of well over 11 minutes, giving you four mono samples of almost 3 minutes each, or four stereo samples
of well over 1 minute each.

More sampling terms to come...for now, let's get started:
Data that's recorded or loaded into sample RAM. Samples consist of
waveform data and playback parameters such as Start, and Loop
Start and End addresses. A TRITON, TRITONpro or TRITONproX can
contain a maximum of 4000 samples in internal memory (64 Mbytes).
The settings that allow one or more samples to reside in different
areas of the keyboard (1-128 "indexes"). A standard TRITON,
TRITONpro or TRITONproX
multisamples in internal memory (64 Mbytes).
A parameter (index #) that specifies the sample, zone, original pitch,
playback pitch and level etc.
