5. S/P DIF
OUT(MAIN) jack
This is an optical type S/P DIF format (IEC60958, EIAJ
CP-1201) digital output jack.
It outputs a digital version of the same audio signal as the
AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R jacks, at sam-
pling rates of 48 kHz or 96 kHz (☞PG p.138).
Use an optical cable to connect this to the optical digital
input jack of a DAT or MD, etc.
The [VOLUME] slider does not adjust the output level of
this jack.
IN jack
This is an optical S/P DIF format (IEC 60958, EIAJ CP-
1201) digital input jack.
Digital audio at a sample rate of 48 kHz or 96 kHz can be
input here. 96 kHz audio will be converted to 48 kHz.
(☞PG p.138)
Use an optical cable to connect this jack to the optical digi-
tal output jack of a DAT or other device.
6. SCSI connector
This is a D-sub half-pitch 50 pin SCSI connector.
An external hard disk drive can be connected here and
used to sample or to save/load data in the same way as
the internal hard disk drive. A CD-R/RW can also be con-
nected here to create an audio CD or to save/load data.
(☞p.59, 118)
7. MIDI
MIDI THRU connector
Musical data and sound settings etc. that are received at
the MIDI IN connector are re-transmitted without change
from the MIDI THRU connector.
You can use this to connect multiple MIDI devices (☞PG
p.258).
MIDI OUT connector
Musical data and sound settings etc. are transmitted from
this connector.
Use this to control another MIDI device connected via this
port to the TRITON STUDIO (☞PG p.258).
MIDI IN connector
Musical data and sound settings etc. are received at this
connector.
Use this to play the TRITON STUDIO from another MIDI
device connected to this port (☞PG p.258).
8. DAMPER jack
An optional switch-type pedal such as the Korg DS-1H
damper pedal can be connected here.
If a DS-1H is connected, it will function as a half-damper
pedal. If another switch-type pedal is connected, it will
function as a damper switch. In order to ensure that the
pedal functions correctly, please adjust the polarity and
the half-damper sensitivity (☞p.11, PG p.137, 146).
9. ASSIGNABLE
SWITCH jack
An optional on/off foot switch such as the Korg PS-1 foot
switch can be connected here (☞p.11).
Its function can be assigned in Global mode, allowing you
to use the foot switch as a modulation controller, to select
programs or combinations, or to start/stop the sequencer
(☞p.125).
PEDAL jack
An optional Korg EXP-2 or XVP-10 expression pedal can
be connected here (☞p.11).
Its function can be assigned in Global mode, allowing you
to use the pedal to control the volume etc. (☞p.124)
10. [Contrast adjustment] knob
This adjusts the contrast of the LCD screen.
The optimal setting will depend on the height or angle
from which you view the screen display, so please adjust
as necessary.
11. EXB-DI (option)
OUT jack
This is an ADAT optical format digital output connector.
It outputs the six channels of the TRITON STUDIO’s
AUDIO OUTPUT jacks (MAIN) L/MONO, R, (INDIVID-
UAL) 1, 2, 3, 4 (analog audio outputs) as digital audio
with a sampling rate of 48 kHz. These signals are output
as channels 1 through 6 of the ADAT optical format.
By connecting this to the DIGITAL IN jack of an ADAT
Optical format compatible mixer, amp, or recorder, you
can output the audio signal of the TRITON STUDIO in
digital form. Use an optical cable made by the Alesis Cor-
poration or an optical cable for CD/DAT (both sold sepa-
rately) to make this connection (☞p.11, PG p.286, 300).
The [VOLUME] slider does not adjust the output level of
this connector.
48 kHz WORD CLOCK IN jack
Connect this to the WORD CLOCK OUT jack of an ADAT
Optical format compatible mixer or remote controller. Use
this when you want the connected device to be the word
clock master and the TRITON STUDIO to be the word
clock slave for synchronization. Use an BNC coax cable
made by the Alesis Corporation or a video BNC cable
(both sold separately) to make this connection.
12. EXB-mLAN (option)
A special cable is used to connect mLAN-compatible
devices or computers. (☞p.12, PG p.286)
mLAN (IEEE 1394) 1, 2, 3 jacks
SERIAL I/O connector
For details refer to the manual included with the EXB-
mLAN option.
What is mLAN?
mLAN is a new standard for musical instruments that uses the
general-purpose IEEE 1394 (“FireWire”) interface (a general-pur-
pose interface with a wide range of uses including current and dig-
ital AV devices) with a special transmission protocol for musical
data. It allows high quality digital audio and MIDI data to be simul-
taneously transmitted and received over a single cable. At a trans-
mission speed of 200 Mbps, approximately 100 channels of audio
data or 256 ports of MIDI data (i.e., 16 channels x 256 connectors)
can be transmitted and received over a single cable.
mLAN provides unprecedented flexibility, allowing you to daisy-
chain up to 63 devices, and even to reconfigure the input and out-
put connections between devices without actually disconnecting
the mLAN cable. Even sophisticated setups in the studio or on
stage are made easy by mLAN.
