5. Song Play mode
In Song Play mode you can load Standard MIDI Files (SMF)
from floppy disk, the internal hard disk or external SCSI
device, or play them directly as they are being loaded. A
jukebox function is provided to playback these SMF files in
any order you specify. You can also use the arpeggiator or
realtime controllers during playback. In Song Play mode
you can playback SMF data and make related settings.
The TRITON STUDIO is able to playback SMF format 0 or
format 1 data.
0–1: Prog. 1–8 (Program T01–08)
0–2: Prog. 9–16 (Program T09–16)
Here you can make settings for SMF playback, and make
basic settings such as selecting the program for each track.
0–1a: Location, Meter, Tempo, Jukebox, File, Play
Location [001:01.000...999:16.191]
This is the current location within the SMF.
From the left, this indicates the measure (Location Measure),
beat (Location Beat), and clock (Location Tick). You can set
each of these individually, and this will move the current
location within the song.
When you change the location, a Song Position Pointer
message will be transmitted.
Meter [*/*, 1/4...16/16]
This indicates the time signature at the current location of
the SMF.
(Tempo) [040...240]
Specifies the playback tempo of the SMF.
In Song Play mode, this tempo will be used regardless of the
“MIDI Clock” setting (Global P1: 1–1a).
Jukebox [Off, On]
On (checked): SMF files in the jukebox list will be played
back in succession. You will also check this when you wish
to create a jukebox list. In the Jump menu (displayed when
you press the [MENU] key), select P3: Jukebox, and create
the list.
File (File select) [000...999]
From a floppy disk etc., select the SMF that you wish to play
back.
You can select SMF files from the currently selected direc-
tory. If you wish to select from another directory, use the P3:
Select Directory to select the directory.
When “Jukebox” is checked, you can select SMF files from
the jukebox list in the P3: Jukebox.
This parameter will not be displayed if there are no SMF
files in the directory, or if no SMF files have been registered
in the jukebox list.
If the CDRW-1 option is installed, and you play the key-
board or operate the controllers during playback, the
physical shock may cause data skips or read errors, so
that the playback may not occur correctly.
Name
This displays the song name of the SMF that you selected in
“File (File select).”
Play (Track Select) [Track01 [Ch01]...Track16 [Ch16]]
Specifies the track (channel) that will sound when you play
the keyboard.
The bank number, program number, and name of the pro-
gram used by the track is displayed to the right.
In Song Play mode, MIDI channels 1–16 correspond to
tracks 1–16.

This displays the track number of the track currently
selected for editing or selected by “Play (Track Select),” and
the program bank, number, and name of the program speci-
fied for that track.
Ch (01...16)
This displays the MIDI channel number of the track that is
currently selected for editing or selected by “Play (Track
Select).”
0–1(2)c: Track Number, Category, Bank/Program,
PLAY/MUTE, SOLO ON/OFF
Track Number (1...8 (9...16))
Displays the track number.
Use the parameters below “Track Number” to make settings
for that track number.

classified into one of sixteen categories. You can press the
category and select programs within that category.
This is convenient when you want to find a program by cat-
egory, or to select a different program within the same cate-
gory.
