Setup
This Quick Start manual will guide you through the
basics of learning how to use the TRITON Extreme.
Before we begin, let’s get the TRITON Extreme set up,
connected, and ready to play.
1
Connect your monitoring system.
Connect the TRITON Extreme’s AUDIO OUTPUT
L/MONO, R jacks to the inputs on your mixer or
powered speakers etc.
Later on in this guide are some sampling examples.
There, you’ll also need to monitor the output of the
(INDIVIDUAL) 1 or 2 jacks, so go ahead and con-
nect these jacks as well.
If you’re monitoring through headphones, plug
them into the headphone jack located to the left on
the front edge of the instrument. If you are connect-
ing the TRITON Extreme to a mixer, you may want
to connect your headphones to the mixer’s head-
phone jack.
The headphone output provides the same signal as the
output of the AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO and R.
2
Connect the power cable.
Plug the power cable (included) into the rear panel
AC inlet, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
3
Turn the TRITON Extreme on.
Press the rear panel [POWER] switch to turn on the
power.
You’re finished setting-up!
If you run into problems while setting-up, refer to
Operation Guide (OG) p.15.
The TRITON Extreme’s programs and combinations can
be written and saved to the internal memory. However,
sequencer data and the data you create by sampling
needs to be saved onto commercially-available media
such as CompactFlash or Microdrive. This same data can
also be saved via USB to either a computer, external hard
drive, or removable media drive. Programs and combi-
nations can also be saved to these types of storage
media.
When the power is turned off, any unsaved sequencer
or sample data will be lost, so it is important to save
any data you wish to keep before you turn the power
off. Because you must turn the power off to install
media into the CF slot, please install this media before
you begin using the TRITON Extreme, so that you will
be able to save your data.
Here is a quick introduction on how to insert Compact-
Flash or Microdrive media into the TRITON Extreme’s
CF card slot so that you’ll be able to save your data.
The power must be off when you insert or remove
media into the CF card slot. If you insert or remove
media while the power is on, you may damage your
data.
1
Inserting the media.
Verify that the power is off. Insert your Microdrive
or CompactFlash media into the CF card slot located
on the TRITON Extreme’s rear panel.
Be sure to insert the media in the correct orientation.
Push the media all the way into the CF card slot.
2
Removing the media
Verify that the power is off. Press the Eject button
and pull the media straight out of the CF card slot.
For details on how to save or load, you can refer to
Operation Guide (OG)
p.114, 117 later.
For details on the types of media you can use, refer
to PG p.315.
If you want to use USB storage media such as a hard
disk, connect it to the USB A connector. For details on
connections, refer to Parameter Guide (PG) p.325.
The following pages will introduce you to basic opera-
tion of the TRITON Extreme. (Turn the power on.)
