IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Mains powered apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings, install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. (for U.S.A. and Canada)

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• Do not install this equipment on the far position from wall outlet and/or convenience receptacle.

• Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a box for the conveyance or similar unit.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

THE FCC REGULATION WARNING (for U.S.A.)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device , pursuant to P art 15 of the FCC Rules.

Setup

1

This Quick Start manual will guide you through the basics of learning how to use the TRITON Extreme. Before we begin, let’s get the TRITON Extreme set up, connected, and ready to play.

Connect your monitoring system.

1

Connect the TRITON Extreme’s AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO, R jacks to the inputs on your mixer or powered speakers etc. Later on in this guide are some sampling examples. There, you’ll also need to monitor the output of the (INDIVIDUAL) 1 or 2 jacks, so go ahead and connect these jacks as well. If you’re monitoring through headphones, plug them into the headphone jack located to the left on the front edge of the instrument. If you are connecting the TRITON Extreme to a mixer, you may want to connect your headphones to the mixer’s headphone jack.

The headphone output provides the same signal as the output of the AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO and R.

The TRITON Extreme’s programs and combinations can be written and saved to the internal memory. However, sequencer data and the data you create by sampling needs to be saved onto commercially-available media such as CompactFlash or Microdrive. This same data can also be saved via USB to either a computer , external hard drive, or removable media drive. Programs and combinations can also be saved to these types of storage media.

When the power is turned off, any unsaved sequencer or sample data will be lost, so it is important to save any data you wish to keep before you turn the power off. Because you must turn the power off to install media into the CF slot, please install this media before you begin using the TRITON Extreme, so that you will be able to save your data.

Here is a quick introduction on how to insert CompactFlash or Microdrive media into the TRITON Extreme’s CF card slot so that you’ll be able to save your data.

The power must be off when you insert or remove media into the CF card slot. If you insert or remove media while the power is on, you may damage your data.

You can adjust the sound of the preloaded programs to your taste by modifying the pitch, tone, or volume, and by editing the controller and effect settings. You can also create sounds “from scratch.” Such operations are referred to as “editing.”

In this section, we’ll guide you through some simple editing examples using the Performance Editor and the Realtime Controls.

Performance Editor

You can use the eight Performance Editor sliders to modify the sound. Adjusting these sliders will affect multiple parameters of the program.

Press the [PROG] key (it will light).

1

You’re in Program mode. Make sure that the Program Play P0: Play, Performance Edit page is displayed.

If this is not displayed, press the [EXIT] key and then the Perf. Edit tab.

Choose the program whose sound you want to

2

modify. (☞p.4) Select the Performance Editor, and use the [][]

3

keys or [VALUE] sliders to adjust the values. Octave: Indicates the octave setting. Pitch Stretch: Simultaneously adjusts the transpose

and tune settings of the oscillator . This allows you to produce a variety of tonal changes without losing the character of the original sound. This is particularly effective for acoustic-type programs such as guitar, bass, or piano. Select various programs and try this out. OSC Balance: Adjusts the level balance between oscillators 1 and 2. Amp Level: Indicates the amp level. This will adjust the volume of the entire program. Attack Time: Indicates the attack time of the ﬁlter EG and amp EG. This will adjust the speed of the attack from note-on. In order to maximize the effect of the Attack Time adjustment, the amp EG Start Level, Attack Level, Start Level Modulation, and Attack Time Modulation parameters are also adjusted.

Decay Time: This indicates and adjusts the decay time and slope time of the ﬁlter EG and amp EG. IFX Balance: This simultaneously adjusts the “Wet/ Dry” balance of all insert effects. MFX Balance: This simultaneously adjusts the Return 1 and 2 parameters of the master effects.

Pitch Stretch cannot be used on programs in bank F. OSC Balance: For programs whose “Oscillator Mode”

(Program P1: Edit-Basic, Program Basic page) setting is Single, oscillator 2 will not sound. Only the level of oscillator 1 will change. For a Drums program, this performance editor will have no effect.

Depending on the settings of the program parameters, the result may not be noticeable.

To reset the selected Performance Editor to the value saved with the current program, press numeric key [0] and then press the [ENTER] key.

Press the [REALTIME CONTROLS] key to select the desired set of realtime control functions. For this example, make the “A” LED light.

Each press of the button will cycle through A mode, B mode, and VALVE FORCE.

Use REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] to adjust the sound.

Turn the knobs to control the tone or other aspects of the sound.

Setting the knobs to the center (12 o’clock) position will produce the parameter values stored with the program.

Knob [1]: LPF CUTOFF

Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass ﬁlter. When you adjust the cutoff frequency of the ﬁlter, the brightness of the sound will change. The effect will depend on the settings of the program parameters, but normally, rotating the knob toward the left will darken the sound, and rotating it toward the right will brighten it.

Knob [2]: RESONANCE/HPF

Adjust the resonance level of a low pass ﬁlter or the cutoff frequency of a high pass ﬁlter.
