Sequencer<br />
A sophisticated 16-track MIDI sequencer is built in.<br />
• The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> combines dual arpeggiators,<br />
RPPR, time slice, in-track sampling, and many other<br />
functions, giving you an integrated music production<br />
environment with even more potential than an<br />
external sequencer would provide. MIDI exclusive<br />
message recording/playback is also supported.<br />
• The Cue List function lets you play up to 99 songs in<br />
the order you specify. For example you could create<br />
separate songs for the intro, melody A, melody B, and<br />
the break, etc., and easily try out different song<br />
structures using the same material. You can also<br />
specify the number of times that each song will repeat.<br />
Songs can also be played back consecutively in jukebox<br />
style.<br />
• A completed song can be resampled as a Wave file<br />
and burned to a CD-R/RW drive (sold separately)<br />
connected to the USB A connector to create an original<br />
audio CD.<br />
Sampling<br />
The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> features our Open Sampling System<br />
that allows sampling and resampling to be performed<br />
not only in Sampling mode, but also in Program, Combination,<br />
or Sequencer modes.<br />
48 kHz 16-bit linear mono/stereo sampling is supported.<br />
• Sample memory (RAM) of 16 Mbytes is factoryinstalled,<br />
allowing approximately 2 minutes 54<br />
seconds of mono sampling (or approximately 1 minute<br />
27 seconds of stereo sampling). Sample memory can<br />
be expanded to a maximum of 96 Mbytes, which<br />
allows you to record up to six samples of<br />
approximately 2 minutes 54 seconds each (mono) or<br />
approximately 1 minute 27 seconds each (stereo), for a<br />
total 17 minutes 28 seconds of sampling time.<br />
• The media (Option) lets you record up to 80 minutes<br />
as a single sample file in either mono or stereo<br />
(monaural: approximately 440 Mbytes, stereo:<br />
approximately 879 Mbytes). This will create a WAVE<br />
file. (In order to play a media sample from the<br />
<strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong>’s keyboard, it must be able to be<br />
loaded into the sampling memory (RAM).)<br />
In order to sample to media on the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong>,<br />
you will need to obtain media of the recommended<br />
type (sold separately). ( ☞p.137)<br />
Song Play<br />
In Song Play mode you can play SMF (Standard MIDI<br />
File) data directly from media. You can also play the keyboard<br />
along with the SMF playback, and use the arpeggiator<br />
in synchronization with the playback tempo of the<br />
SMF. Format 0 and 1 are supported, and you can also use<br />
the Jukebox function to edit the playback order of the<br />
songs.<br />
Dual polyphonic arpeggiator<br />
• Five preset arpeggio patterns (UP, DOWN, ALT1,<br />
ALT2, RANDOM) and 507 user arpeggio patterns are<br />
built-in.<br />
• With the factory settings, these contain a wide variety<br />
of preload user patterns (489).<br />
• In addition to providing conventional arpeggiator<br />
functions, the polyphonic arpeggiator of the <strong>TRITON</strong><br />
<strong>Extreme</strong> can respond to the pitches or timing at which<br />
you play the keyboard, and produce a diverse range of<br />
chords or phrases. This can be used to play a variety of<br />
drum phrases (using the “Fixed Note Mode” that is<br />
ideal for drums), bass phrases, or guitar and keyboard<br />
backing riffs. The arpeggiator is also effective for use<br />
with subtly moving pads, synth sounds, or sound<br />
effects.<br />
• In Combination mode, Sequencer mode, and Song<br />
Play mode, the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> provides dual<br />
arpeggiators that can simultaneously play two<br />
arpeggio patterns. You can apply separate arpeggio<br />
patterns to drum and bass programs, or use keyboard<br />
splits or velocity to switch between arpeggio patterns<br />
for an even more dynamic performance.<br />
RPPR<br />
• The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> features Korg’s RPPR (Realtime<br />
Pattern Play/Recording) function.<br />
In Sequencer mode, this function allows you to assign<br />
preset patterns or user patterns (with a specified playback<br />
track) to individual notes of the keyboard, and<br />
playback that pattern in realtime simply by pressing<br />
the assigned note. Numerous preset patterns, including<br />
patterns ideal for drum tracks, are built into the<br />
internal memory.<br />
4-channel audio input/<br />
6-channel audio output<br />
• Both analog (2 channel) and digital (2 channel) audio<br />
inputs are standard, allowing you to record stereo<br />
samples.<br />
The analog inputs have a MIC/LINE level select<br />
switch and a level knob, accommodating a wide range<br />
of audio sources from mic level to line level.<br />
The built-in digital input supports 48 kHz S/P DIF format<br />
digital audio.<br />
The audio input can be routed through effects and/or<br />
Valve Force. During sampling, you can apply effects or<br />
Valve Force, use the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> as a 4-in/6-out<br />
effect processor, or use a vocoder effect that combines<br />
the audio input with internal sounds.<br />
• Six channels of audio output are provided.<br />
For analog output, you have the L/MONO and R main<br />
stereo output, as well as four independent audio outputs<br />
(INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, and 4. Individual oscillators,<br />
drums, timbres/tracks, or the output of an insert<br />
effect can be freely routed to any of these outputs.<br />
For digital output, there’s an S/P DIF connector (two<br />
channels; L/MONO and R) that supports a sampling<br />
frequency of 48 kHz.<br />
TouchView user interface<br />
As its user interface, the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> features the<br />
TouchView system with a large 320 × 240 pixel LCD<br />
touch-panel that lets you perform functions simply by<br />
touching the screen – a revolutionary leap in operability<br />
and practicality.<br />
USB connectors allow connection to a CD-R/<br />
RW drive and computer<br />
The <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong> provides a USB A connector and a<br />
USB B connector, allowing you to save data on USB storage<br />
media (hard disks, removable disks, CD-R/RW<br />
drives).<br />
You can back-up data from media in the CF card slot to<br />
your computer, or edit data on your computer and load it<br />
into the <strong>TRITON</strong> <strong>Extreme</strong>.
