Main features<br />

The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> is a music workstation/sampler<br />

that features the HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system<br />

as its tone generator.<br />

It provides high-quality preset multisamples/programs/<br />

combinations together with a broad range of integrated<br />

features such as an effect section, 16-track MIDI<br />

sequencer, sampling, dual polyphonic arpeggiators,<br />

RPPR, four-channel audio input/six-channel audio output,<br />

and song play functionality.<br />

You can modify the sound in realtime by using a wide<br />

range of performance controllers such as the joystick, ribbon<br />

controller, REALTIME CONTROLS and ARPEGGIA-<br />

TOR knobs, and pedals that you connect.<br />

You can also expand the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong>’s capabilities<br />

by installing the MOSS modeling synthesizer or by adding<br />

more sample memory (RAM).<br />

The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> music workstation is a powerful<br />

tool for music production or live performance.<br />

HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system<br />

The HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system is a PCM tone<br />

generator system with full digital signal processing that<br />

guarantees pristine sound, and featuring enormous flexibility<br />

in musical expression, modulation, and effect routing.<br />

* The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> contains an analog vacuum tube<br />

circuit (Valve Force). When you use Valve Force, the<br />

signal is converted into analog form at that point.<br />

Tone generator section:<br />

• 160 Mbytes of preset PCM ROM contains 962<br />

multisamples and 1,175 drumsamples.<br />

• The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> is shipped with 16 Mbytes of<br />

RAM (you can expand this to a maximum of 96<br />

Mbytes), letting you use samples or multisamples you<br />

sampled/resampled or loaded in Media mode.<br />

• The sampling frequency is 48 kHz, and the maximum<br />

polyphony is 60 voices (a maximum of 120 voices can<br />

be used depending on the PCM sounds you use).<br />

Filter/synthesis section:<br />

• Either a 24 dB/oct Resonant Low Pass or a 12 dB/oct<br />

Low Pass & High Pass type filter can be used. A wide<br />

variety of filter effects can be achieved, from active<br />

sounds with aggressive resonance to subtle tones<br />

using a high pass filter.<br />

• A broad range of editing parameters gives you precise<br />

control over every aspect of the sound.<br />

Effect section:<br />

• Five insert effects (stereo-in/stereo-out), two master<br />

effects (mono-in/stereo-out), and a three-band master<br />

EQ (stereo-in/stereo-out) can all be used<br />

simultaneously. You can select and edit any of 102<br />

types of effect algorithms.<br />

• The effect routing is highly flexible. Effects can be<br />

routed freely to the individual inputs and outputs.<br />

Introduction<br />

Alternate Modulation and<br />

Effect Dynamic Modulation:<br />

• The synthesis section (filter etc.) provides Alternate<br />

Modulation capabilities, and the effect section<br />

provides Effect Dynamic Modulation. This allows you<br />

to freely apply modulation to parameters that affect<br />

the pitch, filter, amp, EG, LFO, and effects etc.<br />

• LFO, delay time and other effect parameters can be<br />

synchronized to an external MIDI clock. You can also<br />

synchronize sounds and effects to the tempo of the<br />

internal sequencer or the arpeggiator.<br />

Valve Force circuit:<br />

• This section includes an analog low-frequency boost<br />

circuit plus a vacuum tube amp that uses a 12AU7<br />

(ECC82) vacuum tube. One vacuum tube is used to<br />

support stereo-in/stereo-out. Proprietary Korg<br />

technology is used to generate warm and powerful<br />

sound with the rich overtones and smooth distortion<br />

typical of vacuum tubes, while retaining clarity and<br />

definition.<br />

Programs and combinations<br />

Programs:<br />

• In addition to 1,536 user programs, 256 programs (and<br />

9 drum kits) for GM2 compatibility are provided as<br />

ROM presets.<br />

You can use a rich array of editing parameters, effects,<br />

Valve Force, and the arpeggiator to modify the 1,536<br />

user programs and create your own original programs.<br />

When the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> is shipped from the factory,<br />

user memory contains 1,344 high-quality programs<br />

that cover a wide range of needs. When the<br />

EXB-MOSS option is installed, 128 programs for use<br />

with the Korg MOSS tone generator will also be available.<br />

• The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> provides 144 user drum kits as<br />

well as 9 ROM drum kits compatible with GM2. The<br />

factory settings contain 50 preloaded drum kits that<br />

cover a wide range of musical styles.<br />

You can create your own drum kits by assigning each<br />

key to any one of the 1,175 drum samples or to an original<br />

sample that you sampled or loaded in from media.<br />

For the sound assigned to each key, you can make filter<br />

and amp settings, and even route the sound to effects<br />

or individual audio outputs.<br />

• You can easily create programs using multisamples or<br />

samples that you yourself sampled/resampled or<br />

loaded in Media mode. You can then use these<br />

programs in combinations and songs. You can also use<br />

samples as drum instruments in a drum kit.<br />

Combinations:<br />

• The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> provides 1,536 user<br />

combinations. Each combination can combine up to<br />

eight layered/split/velocity-switched programs,<br />

together with settings for effects, the Valve Force<br />

circuit, and the two arpeggiators. Combinations let<br />

you create very complex sounds that could not be<br />

produced by a program alone. You can also use an<br />

external sound module as part of a combination.<br />

When the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> is shipped, user memory<br />

contains a versatile range of 1,280 preloaded<br />

combinations.<br />
