Types of Parameters

There are three types of parameters that can be found in the taktile/TRITON taktile.
Performance parameters
These parameters include tempo, key, scale and setup of the arpeggiator. These parameters will be
used during your performance.
Scene parameters
These parameters determine the behavior when you use a controller on the taktile/TRITON taktile. It
is possible to save 16 scene parameters into the taktile/TRITON taktile.
Having prepared the settings for each of your applications, you can select and use them in an in-
stant.
Global parameters
These parameters set up the behavior of the entire taktile, such as the velocity curve of the key-
board or the trigger pad and the brightness of the display.
The global parameters will be shared among 16 scenes.
In this manual, areas that are SHADED IN GRAY describe functions which are only
provided by the TRITON taktile. If you purchased the taktile, please disregard these
sections.

How to Set Up Parameters

Performance screen and settings screen

There are two types of screens in the taktile/TRITON taktile: the performance screen that is used during
your performance and the settings screen where you set up the taktile/TRITON taktile in detail.
Pressing the SETTING button displays the settings screen, and pressing the EXIT button takes you back
to the performance screen.

Details of Parameters

Performance parameters

Parameters common in all modes

BPM .......................................................................................................[20.0...300.0]
This parameter specifies the tempo of the arpeggiator (BPM).When sliding your finger over the
value slider, you can specify the BPM in increments of 1. When tapping either end (+/-) of the value
slider, you can adjust it in increments of 0.1.
TIP Tapping in the middle of the value slider allows you to set the BPM to the tapped tempo using
the Tap Tempo function.
Transpose ................................................................................................. [-12...+12]
You can change (transpose) a key according to what you need to play.
You can transpose the keyboard in semitone steps from -12 to +12.
Pad Bank ...........................................................................................................[A, B]
Here is where you can select a bank for the trigger pad.
The taktile/TRITON taktile has two banks: A and B. You can set up to 32 (for the taktile/TRITON tak-
tile 25, 16) trigger pads for each scene. For example, you can assign drum sounds to bank A and
percussion sounds to bank B, or use both A and B for up to 32 (for the taktile/TRITON taktile 25, 16)
sample triggers.

Parameters related to a scale and a key

When you have either set the Touchpad Mode into Touch Scale or the Trigger Pad Mode into Chord
Scale, the scale and the key are set.
TIP Refer to the Scale List on page 20 for the parameter values.
Key .................................................................................................................... [C...B]
This parameter specifies the reference sound for the scale.

This parameter specifies the scale to be assigned to the touchpad or the trigger pad.

Parameter related to the touch scale

Note Range ..........................................................................................[1 oct...4 oct]
This parameter specifies a range of notes to be assigned to the touchpad.

Parameter related to the chord scale

Chord Variation ............................................................................................... [1...8]
This parameter allows you to control the richness of chords when you tap the trigger pad in chord
scale mode.
By controlling the Chord Variation during your performance in chord scale mode, you can make the
