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

Move the joystick up/down and left/right (+Y, –Y, –X, +X) to vary the effect ( ☞p.21). 3.

REALTIME CONTROLS 8 9 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 Use the [REALTIME CONTROLS] key to select either the the A mode, B mode or VALVE FORCE functions for the realtime controllers, and use knobs [1]–[4] to control the tone, effects, MIDI control changes and Valve Force in realtime ( ☞p.22, QS p.6). [REALTIME CONTROLS] key This key selects either A, B or Valve Force mode for the realtime controllers. The selected mode will light. VALVE FORCE [ON/OFF] key Switches the Valve Force function on/off. When on, this key will light. [1] knob, [2] knob, [3] knob, [4] knob In A mode, the function of each knob is fixed. [1] is the low pass filter cutoff frequency, [2] is the filter resonance level or the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter, [3] is the filter EG intensity, and [4] is the filter/amp release time. In B mode, each knob will control the function that was assigned to it in the Program, Combination, Sequencer, Song Play, or Sampling modes. The Valve Force functions of the knobs are fixed; knob [1] controls the input level to Valve Force, knob [2] controls the mix level of the Valve Force analog ultra-low boost circuit, knob [3] controls input gain to the vacuum tube, and knob [4] controls the output level from Valve Force. Depending on the sound you are using, you may hear noise if you turn the Valve Force knobs or edit Valve Force parameters while sound is being produced. 3 Introduction Program Combination Sequencer Sampling Song Play Global Effect Media, etc Preset Other
