Introduction
Main features
Overview
The TRITON-Rack is a expandable Hi-modele/sam-
pler that features the
HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis
system
as its tone generator.
Its numerous functions include high-quality preset
multisamples/programs/combinations, an effect sec-
tion, sampling, multis, a dual polyphonic arpeggiator,
RPPR, analog two-channel audio input/six-channel
audio output, and digital two-channel audio output.
By operating the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4]
knobs you can control filter or effects to vary the
sounds in realtime as you perform. These knobs can
also be used to control the gate and velocity of the
arpeggiator, and the tempo of the arpeggiator and
RPPR.
Options such as a MOSS tone generator, PCM/sam-
pling memory expansions, SCSI port, ADAT digital
output, and mLAN interface board can be installed to
further expand the capabilities of the TRITON-Rack.
The TRITON-Rack is a powerful tool for music produc-
tion or live performance.
HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system
The HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system is a PCM
tone generator system with full digital signal process-
ing that guarantees pristine sound, and featuring enor-
mous flexibility in musical extensibility, modulation,
and effect routing.
Tone generator section:
• 32 Mbytes of preset PCM ROM contains 425
multisamples and 413 drumsamples.
Up to eight separately sold EXB-PCM series PCM
expansion boards (16 Mbyte PCM ROM) can
optionally be installed to add even more PCM data.
• 16 Mbytes of RAM is standard (expandable to a
maximum of 96 Mbytes). Samples/multisamples
that you sampled or edited in Sampling mode or
loaded in Disk mode can be used as sound sources.
• The sampling frequency is 48 kHz, and the
maximum polyphony is 60 voices.
Filter/synthesis section:
• 24 dB/oct Low Pass Resonance type or 12 dB/oct
Low Pass & High Pass type filters can be used. A
wide variety of filter effects can be achieved, from
active sounds with aggressive resonance to subtle
tones using a high pass filter.
• A broad range of editing parameters gives you
minute control over every aspect of the sound.
Effect section:
• Five insertion effects (stereo-in/stereo-out), two
master effects (mono-in/stereo-out), and a three-
band master EQ (stereo-in/stereo-out) can all be
used simultaneously. You can select from 102
types of effect algorithm, and edit them.
• Highly flexible effect routing is possible. Effects
can also be routed freely to the individual outputs.
Alternate Modulation and
Effect Dynamic Modulation:
• The synthesis section (filter etc.) provides Alternate
Modulation functionality, and the effect section
provides Effect Dynamic Modulation functionality.
This allows you to freely apply modulation to
parameters that affect the pitch, filter, amp, EG,
LFO, and effects etc.
• LFO and delay time etc. can be synchronized to
MIDI clock/tempo. You can synchronize sounds or
effects to the tempo of the sequencer or the
arpeggiator.
Programs and combinations
• In
Program
, the TRITON-Rack provides 1,664 user
programs, and 256 programs + 9 drumsets for
GM2 compatibility. When the separately sold EXB-
MOSS option is installed, 128 programs for the
Korg MOSS tone generator will also be available.
You can use a wide range of editing parameters,
effects, and arpeggiator settings to create your own
original program, and save it as a user program. For
the oscillator of the program, you can select from
425 PCM ROM multisamples, or use samples/mul-
tisamples that you recorded in Sampling mode. You
can also create drum programs using the 144 user
drum kits or the nine GM2-compatible ROM drum
kits. User drum kits can be created using the 413
preset drum samples or samples that you recorded
in Sampling mode.
With the factory settings, 512 user programs suit-
able for a wide range of styles are preloaded in
banks INT-A–INT-D. For these preloaded programs
and for the preset programs in banks G, g(1)–g(d),
you can use the
Audition function
to hear the pro-
gram played using an appropriate riff (phrase). This
provides a convenient way to audition or edit pro-
grams.
• The
Combination
provides 1,664 user
combinations.
A combination allows you to use layers, splits, or
velocity switches etc. to combine up to eight pro-
grams together with effects and two arpeggiators, in
order to create complex sounds that could not be
