MEDIA
1.1
6. Media mode
In this mode, various types of internal memory data can be
saved/loaded to/from SmartMedia or an external SCSI
device (if the EXB-SMPL option is installed).
For the types of SmartMedia that can be used, refer to BG
p.96.
About the EXB-SMPL option
If the EXB-SMPL option (sold separately) and the included
72-pin SIMM memory module (16 Mbyte sample data RAM)
are installed, you will be able to save/load multisample and
sample data created in Sampling mode (
☞p.144, 149), or
load/export AIFF files or WAVE files that were created on
your computer (
☞p.146, 150).
Sample data RAM can be expanded by installing up to two
72-pin SIMM modules of either 32 MB or 16 MB (total maxi-
mum 64 MB).
Even if the EXB-SMPL is not installed, you can install
RAM in the 72-pin SIMM slots to allow loading of mul-
tisample or sample data created on the TRITON series,
or AIFF files and WAVE files. However in this case, it
will not be possible to edit the multisample or sample
data.
In addition, an external SCSI device (hard disk, removable
media, etc.) can be connected to the SCSI connector of the
EXB-SMPL, allowing data to be saved on a hard disk etc. in
the same way as on SmartMedia, or allowing you to load
data from CD-ROM.
For details on formatting, refer to p.152. For details on con-
nections and ID settings for external SCSI devices when the
EXB-SMPL option (sold separately) is installed, refer to the
operation manual included with the EXB-SMPL.
Files, directories, and icons
The TRITON Le manages data on SmartMedia and other
media in a hierarchical manner, using files and directories.
The contents of a file (whether it is a file or a directory) are
indicated not only by the name but also graphically by an
icon. Files and directories have differently shaped icons.
On the TRITON Le, files and directories that can be recog-
nized by MS-DOS (i.e., read by an MS-DOS computer) are
referred to as DOS files and DOS directories.
Various types of DOS files are distinguished by the exten-
sion that is added to the filename.
In the case of a DOS file with an extension other than listed
below, selecting “Load selected” to access the dialog box
will cause the file to be considered to be a Standard MIDI
File (SMF). However, non-SMF files cannot be loaded.
When you save a file on the TRITON Le, one of these file-
name extensions will automatically be added as appropriate
for the type of data.
If you change the filename extension of the following
files, they will be handled as undefined files when you
attempt to load them again; they will not be loaded cor-
rectly.
