Note Number<br />

Varying amounts of an effect will be applied depending<br />

on the position of the key on the keyboard.<br />

Normally this is used to control volume, tone (cutoff frequency),<br />

LFO sensitivity, and EG sensitivity etc.<br />

This can be used as a source for alternate modulation<br />

or effect dynamic modulation, to control program<br />

parameters or effect parameters.<br />

Foot pedals/Switch<br />

Damper Pedal<br />

An optional switch-type damper pedal such as the Korg<br />

DS-1H can be connected to <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong>. If a DS-1H<br />

is connected, it will function as a half-damper pedal. The<br />

half-damper function cannot be controlled by other pedals.<br />

Assignable Foot Switch<br />

If an optional foot switch such as the Korg PS-1 is connected<br />

to the rear panel ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack, an<br />

assigned function can be switched on/off using the foot<br />

switch.<br />

The function of the foot switch is assigned in Global P2:<br />

Controller “Foot Switch Assign” (☞p.90).<br />

Assignable Foot Pedal<br />

An optional expression pedal such as the Korg EXP-2 foot<br />

controller or Korg XVP-10 EXP/VOL pedal can be connected<br />

to the rear panel ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack, and<br />

used to apply an effect.<br />

The function of the foot pedal is assigned in Global P2:<br />

Controller “Foot Pedal Assign” (☞p.90).<br />

Easy program editing<br />

Performance Edit (the Performance Edit tab)<br />

You can use the eight Performance Editor sliders to make<br />

overall adjustments to the major parameters of Program<br />

P1–9.<br />

☞ For details on what is controlled, refer to QS p.6 or PG<br />

p.2.<br />

REALTIME CONTROLS [1], [2], [3], [4]<br />

☞ For details on what is controlled, refer to QS p.6.<br />

Easy arpeggiator editing<br />

Arpeggio tab<br />

Here you can select the arpeggio pattern, and make realtime<br />

adjustments to the arpeggio parameters while you<br />

perform.<br />

ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key, [TEMPO] knob, [GATE]<br />

knob, [VELOCITY] knob<br />

Use the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key to turn the arpeggiator<br />

on/off.<br />

The ARPEGGIATOR [TEMPO], [GATE], and [VELOCITY]<br />

knobs control the tempo, duration, and strength of the<br />

arpeggiated notes.<br />

Program editing<br />

You can edit the preloaded programs (banks A–D, H–N)<br />

that the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> is shipped with, or you can start<br />

with an initialized program (banks E, N) to create an original<br />

program.<br />

The P0: Play page lets you perform basic editing, but more<br />

detailed editing can be done in the P1: Edit-Basic–P9: Edit-<br />

Master Effect pages.<br />

If you wish to save an edited program into internal<br />

memory, be sure to Write the program. (☞p.114)<br />

You can write programs to the 1,536 program memory<br />

areas (internal memory) of banks A–E and H–N.<br />

You can also save and manage programs on various<br />

types of media. (☞p.117)<br />

The P1: Edit-Basic–P5: Edit Common LFO parameters<br />

are shared by oscillators 1 and 2, and can be copied<br />

using the page menu command “Copy Oscillator.”<br />

This command is useful when you want to set both<br />

oscillators to the same settings, or when you want to<br />

copy settings from a different program.<br />

The three elements of sound<br />

Sound can be broken down into three elements: pitch,<br />

tone, and volume.<br />

On <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong>, these elements correspond to the<br />

Pitch, Filter, and Amplifier settings of a program. In other<br />

words you would adjust the Pitch settings to modify the<br />

pitch, the Filter settings to modify the tone, and the<br />

Amplifier settings to modify the volume.<br />

In Oscillator (Oscillator: P1: Edit-Basic settings) you<br />

select the waveform multisample that determines the<br />

basic sound, and specify its pitch. This sound is then modified<br />

by the pitch settings (Pitch: P2: Edit-Pitch), filter settings<br />

(Filter: P3: Edit-Filter), and amp settings (Amplifier:<br />

P4: Edit-Amp) to create the basic sound of the program.<br />

This basic sound can then be modified further by using<br />

the insert effects (P8: Edit-Insert Effect settings), master<br />

effects, master EQ, and Valve Force (P9: Edit-Master<br />

Effect settings) to apply finishing touches.<br />

When arpeggiator settings (P7: Edit-Arpeggiator.) and<br />

controller settings (P1: Edit: Basic, Control Setup) are<br />

added to this, the final result is called a “program.”<br />

The Compare function<br />

When P1–P9 are selected, pressing the [COMPARE] key<br />

(the key will light) will recall the sound as it was written<br />

before you edited it.<br />

Pressing [COMPARE] again (the light goes dark) returns<br />

you to the version you are editing.<br />

If you edit while the [COMPARE] key is lit, the key will<br />

again go dark and your previous unsaved edits will be<br />

lost.<br />
