In Track Sampling - Triton Studio

The Triton Studio Series keyboards have the ability to sample in any of three modes, Program, Combination and Sequence. This feature allows the user to sample external audio or the Triton Studio’s outputs while the sequencer is running. We will assume for the sake of this tutorial that we are sampling from a microphone connected to Input 1- a mono audio source, and there is MIDI data on tracks 1-15 and the sample data would be placed on track 16. Please note that individual outputs 1 and 2 must be monitored to hear the incoming audio signal.

First we set up the sample’s parameters.

1. While in SEQuence mode, press the MENU button and select “P0 Play/Rec”.

2. Touch the “Sampling” tab on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and open the upper right hand corner pull own menu.

3. Touch “Select Bank & Smpl No.” This opens up a new window where we set up the sample destination parameters.

4. Touch the box left of “Auto +12dB On” and left of “Program” to check them.

5. Select the program location where the newly created sample will ‘live.” For this example we will use the next available program location in the I-E Bank, program number “I-E014 InitialProgIE014”

6. Select the multisample (MS) location and original key for the sample to go. For this example we will use 000: NewMS____000 and Orig Key C3.

7. Touch the box left of “Seq.Event” to check it and select Track 16.

8. Touch “OK” 

Next, we set up the recording parameters. (For recording Triton Studio’s outputs go to step 3)

1. Touch the “Input” tab at the upper left corner and set it to “Analog”.

2. Set the BUS for Input 1 to outputs 1/2 by touching the “Select” tab.  (For stereo sampling set Inputs 1 and 2’s BUS to outputs 1 and 2 respectively.)

3. Set the “Source BUS” to “Indiv. 1/2” (L/R for recording the Studio’s outputs).

4. Touch the “Trigger” tab to choose what will start sampling. Setting the trigger to “Sampling START SW” triggers sampling by pressing sampling START/STOP button. “Note On” triggers sampling when a note is pressed. “Threshold” triggers sampling when the audio signal crosses a certain dB level and “Sequencer START SW” triggers sampling when the sequencer is started. For this example we will set the trigger to be “Sampling START SW”

5. Set the sampling mode by touching the “Mode” tab and selecting “L-Mono”. (“Stereo” for stereo recording.)

6. Press the sampling “Rec” button to arm the sampler.

7. Adjust the input’s level by turning the level knob so that there is a clear and high signal coming into Studio.

8. Press the sequencer START/STOP button to start the sequencer.

9. Press the sampling START/STOP button to start sampling and again to stop sampling.

10. Stop the sequencer.

You now have a perfectly aligned sample on Track 16. Don’t forget to save your data!
