Settings for status, MIDI channel, and
pitch parameters P2: Edit-Trk Param
MIDI Ch page
Status
Here you can specify the MIDI status of the internal tone
generator assigned to each timbre. Normally when play-
ing the internal tone generator of TRITON STUDIO, you
will set this to INT. Set this to Off for timbres that you are
not using. With settings of Off, EXT, or EX2, TRITON
STUDIO will not sound. With settings of EXT or EX2, you
can control an external tone generator connected via
MIDI. (☞PG p.38)
MIDI Channel
Timbres that you wish to play from TRITON STUDIO’s
keyboard must be set to the global MIDI channel. Your
playing on the keyboard is transmitted on the global MIDI
channel, and will sound any timbre that matches this
channel. Normally you will set this to Gch. When this is
set to Gch, the MIDI channel of the timbre will always
match the global MIDI channel, even if you change the
global MIDI channel.
On some preloaded combinations that use the arpeg-
giator, timbres assigned to the arpeggiator may not
have a “Status” of INT and “MIDI Ch” of Gch.
The reason for this is that these settings are for timbres
that sound only when the arpeggiator is on. This is a
very useful technique for creating combinations that
use the arpeggiator. Refer to “Arpeggiator settings in
Combination and Sequencer modes” (
☞p.132
, PG
p.44), and study the relationship between arpeggiator
assignments, “Status,” and “MIDI Channel.”
Bank Select (when status=EX2)
This setting is valid when “Status” is set to EX2. It speci-
fies the Bank Select message that will be transmitted from
TRITON STUDIO.
OSC page
Force OSC Mode
Normally you will set this to PRG (the oscillator will play
as set by the program settings).
If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound
monophonically, set this either to MN (Mono) or LGT
(Legato). Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to force a
monophonic program to play polyphonically (☞PG p.38).
OSC Select
Normally you will set this to BTH (Both).
If the timbre is using a program whose “Oscillator Mode”
is Double, and you want only OSC1 or OSC2 (not both) to
sound, set this to OSC1 (only OSC1 will sound) or OSC2
(only OSC2 will sound).
Portamento
Normally you will set this to PRG.
If you want to overide the portamento setting specified in
the program assigned to the timbre to be forced off, set
this parameter to Off. Conversely, if you want to force the
portamento to be on, or to change the portamento time,
set this to a value of 001–127 to specify the portamento
time.
Pitch page
Transpose, Detune (BPM Adjust)
These parameters adjust the pitch of the timbre.
• In a layer-type combination, you can set two or more
timbres to the same program, and create a richer
sound by using “Transpose” to shift their pitch apart
by an octave or by using “Detune” to create a slight
difference in pitch between the two.
• In split-type combinations, you can use “Transpose”
to shift the pitch (in semitone units) of the programs
specified for each key zone.
• If you wish to change the playback pitch of a drum
program, use “Detune.” If you change the
“Transpose” setting, the relationship between notes
and drum sounds will change.
