SMF (Standard MIDI File) playback
In Song Play mode you can load and play Standard MIDI
File (SMF) data directly from media. If you’re playing
SMF data, using Song Play mode will provide a higher
degree of reproducibility than using Sequencer mode to
play the data.
For details on the types of media you can use, refer to
p.137.
How Song Play mode is
structured
Song Play mode is structured as follows.
This mode consists of tracks 1–16, song parameters such
as song name etc., effects, and the arpeggiator.
Song Play mode page structure
For details on how to access each mode and page,
refer to “Basic operation” (☞p.13).
If the separately sold EXB-MOSS is installed, the spe-
cial bank F can be used in Song Play mode as well.
For details on the bank F parameters, refer to the
EXB-MOSS owner’s manual.
The parameter settings of Song Play mode are not
backed up when the power is turned off. If you wish
to save the program, track parameter, and effect set-
tings of the song, use the page menu command “Save
Template Song” to save them.
● About Standard MIDI Files (SMF)
Song Play mode will play SMF Format 0 or Format 1 data.
Only files with an extension of .MID are recognized as
SMF by the TRITON Extreme.
● About MIDI
Track status settings in Song Play mode
You can select whether the musical data played by a track,
or the data produced by operating the TRITON Extreme’s
keyboard and controllers will sound the TRITON
Extreme’s internal tone generator, and/or will sound an
external tone generator.
When the “Status” of a track is set to INT, the data played
back by that track and the data produced by operating the
keyboard or controllers of the TRITON Extreme will play
and control the TRITON Extreme’s internal tone genera-
tor. When the “Status” of a track is set to EXT or BTH, the
data played back by that track and the data produced by
operating the keyboard or controllers of the TRITON
Extreme will play and control an external tone generator.
(The MIDI channel of the external tone generator must
match the “MIDI channel” of the TRITON Extreme track
that is set to EXT or BTH.) With a setting of BTH, the
external tone generator and the TRITON Extreme’s own
tone generator will be played and controlled simulta-
neously. (☞PG p.146)
Synchronization with external devices
In Song Play mode, the TRITON Extreme will be the mas-
ter (the controlling device) regardless of the MIDI Clock
setting (Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Clock”).
● Effects and Valve Force
You can use the TRITON Extreme’s insert effects, master
effects, and Valve Force in the same way as in Sequencer
mode. (☞p.105, 107, 110, 111, PG p.151)
