Simply Record again while the [COMPARE] key is lit, and you’ll record new data in the current track. “Toggle” the COMPARE key to
listen to both “takes”. Note that moving to, and recording/editing another track (or leaving sequence mode) will clear the Compare
buffer. Before you begin work on a new track, make sure that the currently selected state of Compare contains the data that you
want to keep!
Sampling with the EXB-SMPL Option
The user-installable EXB-SMPL sampling option provides the user with everything needed for serious sampling: a pair of audio
inputs with Level control and Mic/Line level switching, a SCSI connector, and 16 MB of Sampling RAM.
The Triton LE samples at 48kHz, 16-bit, in mono or stereo. With the provided 16 MB, the Triton LE is capable of recording
samples of 174 seconds @ mono, or 87 seconds @ stereo. Fully expanded with SIMM modules to 64 MB, it allows about 11 ½
mono minutes or 5.8 stereo minutes of sampling! The correct SIMMS are 72-pin, non-parity, EDO or Fast Page (FPM) DRAM
SIMM, 60 ns (nanoseconds) or faster, 11 Bit Addressing.
