Basic functions
The Track BPM Adjust function (playback pitch
adjust) can automatically change the pitch of a
sample/multisample that was sampled in
Sampling mode or loaded in Disk mode so that it
matches the tempo.
About song data
The following two types of song data can be loaded
from floppy disk or other external media into the TRI-
TON’s sequencer.
Song data saved in the TRITON’s own format
This data cannot be loaded by another device, but
the playback will faithfully reproduce the detailed
settings unique to the TRITON. We recommend that
song data intended for playback on the TRITON be
saved in this format.
Standard MIDI Files
This format is not able to provide a totally faithful
reproduction of the performance on the TRITON in
the way that the TRITON’s own format does
(although there will be no problem for normal play-
back), but does provide compatibility with other
SMF-compatible devices.
To load song data from floppy disk or save song data
to floppy disk, use Disk mode. (
p.40, p.92)
Memory Protect
Before you record a track or pattern, or edit the musical
data, you will need to turn off the memory protect set-
ting in Global mode. (
p.37)
The Compare function
When you perform realtime recording, step recording,
or track editing, this function allows you make before-
and-after comparisons. (
p.14)
If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key
LED is lit, the LED will go dark. That musical data
will now be the data that is selected when the
[COMPARE] key LED is dark.

About MIDI
Synchronizing the sequencer with an external MIDI
device
The record/playback tempo of the TRITON’s
sequencer can be synchronized to an external MIDI
device such as a sequencer or rhythm machine
(
p.122).
Track status settings in Sequencer mode
You can make settings for the TRITON’s sequencer to
specify whether it will sound the internal tone genera-
tor or an external tone generator.
When Track Status is set to INT, operating the TRI-
TON’s keyboard and controllers will sound and con-
trol the TRITON’s own tone generator.
When Track Status is set to EXT, EX2 or BTH, operat-
ing the TRITON’s keyboard and controllers will sound
and control the external tone generator. (The MIDI
channel of the external tone generator must match the
“MIDI Channel” of the track that is set to EXT, EX2 or
BTH.) With a setting of BTH, both the external tone
generator and the TRITON’s tone generator will sound
and be controlled.
If you wish to use the TRITON’s Sequencer mode as a
16-timbre (16-track) tone generator, set each track to
either INT or BTH (
p.55 in the Parameter Guide).
