TRITON STUDIO Easy Start

Sampling mode
The TRITON STUDIO samples at 48kHz, 16-bit, in mono or stereo. With the provided 16 MB, the TRITON
STUDIO is capable of recording samples of up to 174 seconds @ mono, or 87 seconds @ stereo. Fully expanded
with SIMM modules to 96 MB, it allows about 17.4 mono minutes or 8.6 stereo minutes of sampling.
! Three 32 MB SIMM modules can be user-installed to fully-expand sample ram to 96 MB. The correct SIMMS are 72-pin,
non-parity, ECO or Fast Page (FPM) DRAM SIMM, 60 ns (nanoseconds) or faster, 11-bit addressing.
