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 />
