TRITON Extreme Operation Guide - Platinum Audiolab

Layer
Layer refers to settings which cause two or more programs
to sound simultaneously when a note is played.
Split
Split refers to settings which cause different programs to
sound on different areas of the keyboard.
Program A
Velocity switch
Velocity Switch refers to settings which cause different
programs to sound depending on the velocity (keyboard
playing dynamics).
On TRITON Extreme, you can use a different program for
each of up to eight timbres, and combine two or more of
the above methods to create even more complex setups.

As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key
zone or velocity zone so that the volume diminishes gradually.
This lets you change a split into a keyboard crossfade,
or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade.
The Compare function
Layer:
Two or more programs sound
simultaneously.
Split:
Different programs will sound in
different areas of the keyboard.
Program B Strong Keyboard playing
Program A

Velocity Switch:

(velocity) switches between
different programs.

Example:
B and C/D are split. In the lower
keyboard range, A and B are
layered. In the higher keyboard
range, C and D are switched by
velocity and layered with A.
Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard
crossfade):
As you play from low notes
to high notes, the volume of
A will fade out, and the
volume of B will fade in.
When one of the P1–P9 pages is selected, you can press
the [COMPARE] key (the key will light) to recall the
sound that was last written before editing. As you are
editing a combi, you can use the [COMPARE] key to listen
to the previously saved version (as it was before you
began editing). Pressing [COMPARE] again (the light goes
dark) returns you to the version you are editing.
If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key is lit,
the key will go dark, and the current setting will now be
the sound that is recalled when the [COMPARE] key is
dark.
Timbre 1–8 program, pan and
volume P1: Edit-Program/Mixer
Here you can assign programs to each timbre 1–8, and set
the pan and volume for each one.
These settings can also be made in the Program Select
and Mixer pages of P0: Play.
Edit-Program/Mixer page
Category, Program Select (Bank/Program)
Assigns a program to each timbre.
When the “Bank/Timbre Program” select menu is
displayed, you can select programs by bank.
When the “Category/Timbre Program” select menu
is displayed, you can select programs from the 16 categories.
(☞p.32)
You can also use the BANK [A]–[N] keys to select the
bank of the program.
If you wish to select programs by receiving MIDI program
changes, do so in P0: Play.
Pan
Specifies the panning (stereo position) for each timbre. A
setting of C064 will reproduce the oscillator pan setting of
the program. Adjusting this parameter will move the
sound to left or right while preserving the pan relationship
between the oscillators. A setting of L001 is far left,
and R127 is far right.
Volume
Adjusts the volume of each timbre.
Create the overall sound by adjusting the volume balance
between timbres. The “Volume” setting is an important
aspect of creating the sound, and this setting will have a
significant effect on the overall impression produced by
the Combination.
