Korg TRITON Extreme TRITON Extreme music workstation/sampler Operation Manual page 136

If there is no sound in Program, Combination,
Sequencer, Song Play, and Media modes, check that
"Input," "Level," and "BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select" are
set correctly in Global P0: Basic Setup, Input/
Sampling page; or in the P0: Sampling pages of
Program, Combination, or Sequencer modes; or in the
Media mode Play Audio CD page. ☞p.64
If you are inputting sound to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and
2 jacks, make sure that the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL]
knob is raised. ☞p.65
If you are inputting sound to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and
2 jacks, is the [MIC/LINE] switch set appropriately?
☞p.64
If you are inputting the external source into the S/P
DIF IN jack, is "System Clock" set to S/P DIF? ☞PG
p.158
Is an unsupported format being input from the S/P
DIF IN jack?
→ Please connect an instrument or digital audio device
that is compatible with CP-1201 or S/P DIF.
Is the correct sampling frequency being input from the
S/P DIF IN jack?
→ Sampling frequencies of 48 kHz can be input. If you
input an unsupported sampling frequency, noise will
occur or a message of "S/P DIF Clock Error!" will be
displayed.
If "System Clock" is set to S/P DIF, and you want to
switch the sampling frequency being input to the S/P
DIF IN jack from 96 kHz to 48 kHz or from 48 kHz to
96 kHz, you must first make sure that the TRITON
Extreme is not accessing data. You must also avoid
touching the TRITON Extreme. Be especially careful
not to switch the sampling frequency being input to
the S/P DIF IN jack while the TRITON Extreme is
accessing data (i.e., while sampling, or while load-
ing/saving media, sample memory, or internal mem-
ory). You must also avoid switching the S/P DIF IN
jack input during such times.
Digital audio input is sometimes not heard for two or
three seconds.
Can't hear an audio CD in a USB CD-R/RW drive connected
to AUDIO INPUT
Make sure that you have selected the Media mode
Play Audio CD page or Sampling mode.
Make sure that the audio outputs of your USB CD-R/
RW drive are connected to the AUDIO INPUT jacks. If
your drive does not have output jacks, you won't be
able to monitor the sound. ☞p.64
Is the CD output being correctly input?
→ If you want to listen to the audio CD playback in the
Media mode Play Audio CD page, set "Input (COMBI,
PROG, SEQ, S.PLAY, MEDIA)" to Analog, and make
the appropriate settings for "Level" and "BUS (IFX/
Indiv.) Select." If you want to listen to the audio CD
playback in Sampling mode, make these settings in
"Input (SAMPLING)." ☞p.64
Is the "Volume" slider raised? (Media mode Play
Audio CD page, Sampling P5: Audio CD, Ripping
page) ☞PG p.139, 197

Has the CD been finalized?
→ A CD-R/RW disc that you wrote using the Media
mode Make Audio CD page cannot be played in the
Media mode Play Audio CD page or in Sampling mode
unless you have finalized the disc. Execute the page
menu command "Finalize Audio CD" to finalize the
disc. ☞PG p.197
Excessive noise or distortion in the audio input or in the
sampled sound
If you are inputting to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2
jacks, are the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob and
"Recording Level" setting appropriate?
→ If "Recording Level" indicates "ADC OVERLOAD !!,"
adjust the [LEVEL] knob. If "CLIP!!" is displayed,
adjust the "Recording Level" slider. Adjusting the
"Recording Level" will not affect the level of the out-
put sound, but will affect the level that is sampled.
While watching the level meter, adjust "Recording
Level" as high as possible without allowing "CLIP!!" to
appear. ☞p.65
If you are inputting to the S/P DIF IN jack, are the
level of the output device and the "Recording Level"
set appropriately?
→ If "CLIP!!" appears, adjust the "Recording Level"
slider.
Is the system clock set correctly?
→ If cyclic click noise is occurring, check that you have
selected the "System Clock" that is being input. ☞PG
p.158
Noise or oscillation is heard
When using an effect on the external audio source
being input from AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2, oscillation
may occur depending on the type of effect or on the
parameter settings. Please adjust the input level,
output level, and effect parameters. You need to be
particularly careful when using a high-gain effect.
After a sample edit has been executed, or after a stereo
sample has been recorded, a small noise may be heard.
This has no effect on the audio data that was edited or
sampled.
When using the BPM/MIDI Sync function to control
the delay time of an effect, noise may occur in the
delay sound. This noise is due to discontinuities in the
delay sound, and is not a malfunction.
Some effects such as 015: St.Analog Record generate
noise intentionally. It is also possible to create
oscillation using a 24 dB/oct LPF filter with resonance.
These are not malfunctions.
If you use Valve Force with "Placement" set to Insert,
make sure that the Valve Force output destination
("BUS Sel.") is not set to a bus or insert effect located
at an earlier stage, since this would cause a feedback
loop. (☞PG p.35, 54, 99, 141)
Depending on the sound you are using, you may hear
noise if you turn the Valve Force knobs or edit Valve
Force parameters while sound is being produced. This
is because the level changes in steps; it is not a
malfunction.
