8. Effect Guide
The effects section of the TRITON-Rack consists of five-
channel Insert Effects, two-channel Master Effects, a single-
channel Master EQ (stereo, three-band EQ) and a Mixer sec-
tion that controls the effect routings.
You can select any of 102 digital Insert Effects or 89 digital
Master Effects, as listed below:
Classification of 102 effects
Effects 000–089 can be selected for IFX 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5,
and MFX 1 and 2. Effects 090–102 are double-size effects
and use twice the area, compared to other effects. They
are selectable only forIFX 2, 3, and 4 positions.
1. Effects in each mode
In Program mode, you can process sounds using Insert
Effects. This is something like processing an oscillator (OSC)
output sound using a filter and an amplifier. Then, you can
apply a modulation and reverb effect or other Master Effect)
to the processed sound to add ambience and space. Finally,
before the sound is output from the OUTPUT (MAIN) L/
MONO, and R connectors, you can fine-tune the tonal qual-
ity using the stereo, three-band Master EQ. You can adjust
these settings for each Program individually.
In Combination mode and Multi mode, you may process
Program sounds for each timbre and track using the Insert
Effects, add ambience and space to the entire sound using
the Master Effects, and adjust the overall tonal quality using
the Master EQ.
You can make these settings for each Combination in Com-
bination mode and for each multi in Multi mode individu-
ally.
Sampling mode enables you to sample sound by applying
the Insert Effects to the incoming signals at AUDIO INPUTs
1 and 2. To do so, use the SMPL 1.1: Recording, Input/Pref
(SMPL1.1–3) parameters. The settings here are effective only
in Sampling mode.
The external input from AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 is also valid
in modes other than Sampling mode. In Program, Combina-
tion and Multi modes, the insert effects, master effects, and
master EQ can be used. Settings for the external in from
AUDIO INPUT 1/2 are made in GLOBAL 1.1: System,
Audio In (Setup for COMBI, PROG, MULTI) (GLOBAL 1.1–
3).
In these modes, the TRITON-Rack can function as a 2-in 6-
out effect processor for the external input signal from
AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2, or you can use the external audio
signal in conjunction with the sounds of the internal tone
generator. (093: Vocoder can be used as a vocoder effect in
which an external mic input is used to control the sounds of
the TRITON-Rack.)
When you apply effects to the external audio signal
from AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2, oscillation may be heard
depending on the effect type and the parameter set-
tings. If this occurs, adjust the input level, output level,
and effect parameters. In particular, please exercise cau-
tion when using high-gain effects.
2. Dynamic modulation (Dmod)
Dynamic modulation (Dmod) is a function that lets you use
the controllers of the TRITON-Rack or MIDI messages to
control specific effect parameters*1, allowing realtime con-
trol while you play.
The BPM/MIDI Sync function*2 is provided as another way
to control effect parameters. This allows parameters such as
the LFO speed of modulation-type effects or the delay time
of delay-type effects to be synchronized to the tempo of the
arpeggiator.
For details on these two functions, refer to “Dynamic Modu-
lation Source (Dmod)” (
☞p.211).
