Oscillator settings P1: Edit-Basic<br />
Basic settings for the oscillator are made in the P1: Edit-<br />
Basic page. The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> provides two oscillators,<br />
and for each oscillator you can select a basic waveform<br />
(“multisample”) and set the pitch.<br />
The multisamples provided by the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong><br />
include waveforms for musical instruments such as<br />
pianos, as well as special waveforms unique to synthesizers.<br />
Multisamples reproduce the complex overtone structure<br />
and frequency characteristics that allow us to identify<br />
a sound as being “piano-like” or “guitar-like” etc..<br />
Program Basic page<br />
Oscillator Mode<br />
This sets the mode of the oscillator. Single uses one oscillator<br />
and Double uses two oscillators. In the case of Single<br />
the maximum polyphony is 60 notes, and in the case<br />
of Double the maximum polyphony is 30 notes. If you<br />
wish to use a Drum Kit to create a drums program, select<br />
Drums. In the case of Drums, the polyphony is normally<br />
60 notes.<br />
Depending on the multisamples that are selected for<br />
each oscillator, the maximum polyphony can be up to<br />
120 notes for Single, up to 60 notes for Double, and<br />
up to 120 notes for Drums. (☞p.12)<br />
Voice Assign Mode<br />
Select whether the program will sound in Poly (polyphonically)<br />
or Mono (monophonically). If this is set to Poly,<br />
you will be able to play chords using the program. If this<br />
is set to Mono, only one note will sound even if you play a<br />
chord. Normally you will set this to Poly, but it is effective<br />
to use Mono when you are playing sounds such as a solo<br />
instrument, an analog-synth bass or a synth lead. Try<br />
switching between Poly and Mono, and listen to the<br />
results.<br />
OSC Basic page<br />
In this page you can select the multisample for each oscillator.<br />
The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> contains 962 different multisamples.<br />
(☞VNL)<br />
Data sampled on the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> can also be used as<br />
a multisample.<br />
Selecting a multisample<br />
The multisample will determine the basic character of the<br />
program.<br />
Use “High MS Bank” to select the multisample bank,<br />
and use “High Multisample” to select the multisample.<br />
You can select preset multisamples if “High MS Bank”<br />
is set to other than RAM.<br />
If “High MS Bank” is RAM, you can select multisamples<br />
that were sampled on the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> or<br />
loaded in from media. Select from 000–999 for “High<br />
multisample.”<br />

If “High MS Bank” is set to ROM, pressing the “High<br />
Multisample” popup button will display all internal<br />
ROM multisamples, organized into 15 categories. Use<br />
the tabs located at the left and right to select the<br />
desired category, and select a multisample from<br />
within that category.<br />
High Multisample and Low Multisample<br />
If you specify a High and Low multisample for an oscillator,<br />
either the High or the Low multisample will sound<br />
depending on the velocity of the note (i.e., the strength at<br />
which you play the keyboard). This function is called<br />
velocity multisample switching.<br />
1 Specify different multisamples for “High Multisample”<br />
and “Low Multisample.”<br />
2 Specify a velocity value for “Velocity M.Sample SW<br />
Lo→Hi.”<br />
Notes played on the keyboard at a velocity less than<br />
the value you specify will sound the Low multisample;<br />
velocities at or above this velocity value will sound the<br />
High multisample.<br />
For example if you set “Velocity M.Sample SW<br />
Lo→Hi” to 100, playing the keyboard softly will sound<br />
the “Low multisample,” and playing strongly will<br />
sound the “High multisample.”
