Preparations for sampling
The multisample and sample data in the sample
memory (RAM) is not backed up when the power is
turned off. If you wish to keep this data, you must
save it onto a media before turning off the power.
When the power is first turned on, memory will not
contain any multisample or sample data. You must
first load previously-saved data before you can playback
or edit any sample data (☞p.121).
1. Connecting an input device and making
Input settings
Connecting an input device
Here’s how to connect an external audio source. On the
TRITON Extreme you can input audio signals to the
AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, or the S/P DIF IN jack.
1 Connect the audio source that you want to input.
• Input from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks
Connect a mic, guitar, or CD player etc. to the rear
panel AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.
Set the AUDIO INPUT [MIC/LINE] switch as appropriate
for the device you are inputting.
If a mic is connected, set this to the MIC position.
If a guitar or analog audio device is connected, set this
to the LINE position.
Guitars with active pickups can be input directly.
However if your guitar has a passive-type pickup
(i.e., without a built-in preamp), the mismatch in
impedance levels will make it difficult to sample at an
appropriate level. Such instruments should be routed
through a preamp or effect unit before they are connected.
• Input from the S/P DIF IN jack
Connect the optical digital output jack of your DAT etc.
to the rear panel S/P DIF IN jack.
If you want to input from the S/P DIF IN jack, set the
Global mode “System Clock” to S/P DIF. (☞PG
p.158)
Input settings
One set of Input settings are maintained by Sampling
mode, and a different set of Input settings are shared by
Combination, Program, Sequencer, Song Play, and Media
mode. This latter set is saved as Global mode parameters.
Normally you will set these in Global mode; however,
these same settings can also be made from the other
modes.
These settings can be made in the following pages.

Sampling can be performed in Sampling, Combination,
Program, and Sequencer modes.
2 Select the page for making Input settings.
As an example, here’s how to make settings in Sampling
mode and in Program mode.
• Sampling mode
Press the [SAMPLING] key to enter Sampling mode.
Press the Input Setup tab to access the P0: Recording,
Input/Setup page.
• Program mode
Press the [PROG] key to enter Program mode. Press the
Sampling tab to access the P0: Play, Sampling page.
3 Use “Input” to select the input source.
If you want to sample the input connected to the
AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, set “Input” to Analog.
If you want to sample the signal being input via the
S/P DIF IN jack, set “Input” to S/P DIF.
If “Input” is set to S/P DIF, an “Obey Copyright
Rules” dialog box will appear. Carefully read “About
copyright” (☞QS p.iii), and if you accept the terms,
press the OK button to continue with settings. If you
do not accept the terms, press the Cancel button to
cancel the setting.
For the best sound quality, adjust the level as high as
possible without making the “ADC OVERLOAD !!”
warning appear.
