About this manual How this manual is organized This manual explains the new features and functions that have been added in the TRITON Studio operating system version 2.0, and the improvements that have been made over earlier versions of the operating system. Sequencer mode, Disk mode, Global mode, Sampling mode, Combination mode, and Program mode are each covered in separate chapters, and functions that apply to more than one mode are described in the chapter entitled “Other new functions.
iv
New functions in version 2.0 Sequencer mode 1. HD Audio Track function (☞p.5) Two audio tracks (1 and 2) have been added to the existing sixteen MIDI tracks and the sequencer master track. The new audio tracks can be synchronized to the MIDI tracks and master track, allowing you to record up to 80 minutes of external audio - such as a guitar or vocals. You can use punch-in recording on a previously-recorded track, or bounce two recorded tracks down to one track, with no loss of fidelity.
Disk mode Global mode 1. “Advanced Conversion Load” for loading AKAI Programs (☞p.48) 1. “SCSI Mode” parameter (☞p.56) In addition to previously supported keymap-related parameters, version 2.0 also supports parameters such as key groups, key group zones, velocity-switching, oscillators, pitch, filter, amp/pan, and EG. These parameters will be preserved when convert-loading an AKAI program into a TRITON STUDIO program (or programs and combination).
Introduction Installing the system While the system is being updated, do not touch any switches or controls on the TRITON STUDIO and never turn off the power. You can update your TRITON STUDIO system to Version 2.0 via the internal floppy drive, by loading TRITON STUDIO Version 2.0 operating system files from DOS-formatted floppy disks. If you are using a system is earlier than version 2.0.0, follow the procedure described below to install the “TRITON STUDIO Operating System Version 2.

Sequencer mode The recorded data is saved as a 48 kHz stereo WAVE file on the internal or external hard drive. You can also select which of the stereo WAVE files saved on disk will be used as audio tracks 1 and 2. About the HD Audio Track function TRITON STUDIO System Version 2.0 adds two audio tracks to the sixteen MIDI tracks and master track of previous versions.
About the audio tracks The audio tracks used by a song (Audio Track 1, 2) are a single stereo WAVE file that is created by recording in synchronization with the MIDI tracks + master track. Audio track 1 is the L channel of the stereo WAVE file, and audio track 2 is the R channel. When you record or edit one track (or any portion of a track) this entire stereo WAVE file is modified; it is not the case that separate WAVE files exist.
5 You use the “Erase Measure” command to erase measures 1 through 4 of audio tracks 1 and 2. This actually overwrites “zero” level sample data, updating the stereo WAVE file as shown in the diagram. The space occupied by the stereo WAVE file is the same as in steps 2, 3, and 4.
Recording an audio track 2 Select the directory (“SNG00”) you created, and press the Open button. 1. Preparing to record an audio track The audio track data that you record is saved on the internal hard drive as a WAVE file. Before you record, you must create a directory (folder) where you will save the WAVE file and song data (.SNG) that will be created when you record the audio track. When song data that includes an audio track is saved as a .
For the audio track, you can also use a WAVE file ripped from a CD or a WAVE file created by resampling to the hard drive in Program mode, etc. (☞p.16 “Sel Dir/WAVE (Audio Track),” ☞p.20 “Put WAVE”) ■ Connect your guitar 9 Connect a guitar to the rear panel AUDIO INPUT 1 jack. Set the AUDIO INPUT [MIC/LINE] switch to the LINE position, and turn the [LEVEL] knob to a position near the center.
Then set the “BUS Select” that follows the insert effect you are using to 1/2. A In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Preference page, set “Track Select” to Audio Track 1. B Specify the recording method in “Recording Setup.” “Punch In”: unchecked “Bounce”: unchecked “Source BUS”: Indiv. 1/2 In the “Name” field, specify a name for the WAVE file that will be created. If you intend to record several takes for the same track, check “Take.
I Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key. Recording will begin from the location you specified in “Location.” If you have specified a metronome precount (“Precount [Measure]”), recording will begin after the precount. J Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop recording. If you have already recorded performance data on the MIDI tracks, these tracks can playback, while only the external audio signal coming from the AUDIO INPUT jack will be recorded onto the audio track.
If “Overwrite.WAV” is checked, you won’t have to wait as long for the internal processing to be completed when recording begins and ends, but you will not be able to use the [COMPARE] key to compare the new recording with the previous recording. If “Overwrite.WAV” is unchecked, you’ll need to wait for somewhere between several seconds and several tens of seconds for processing to occur at the beginning and end of recording, but this option is “safer” since the previously-recorded WAVE file will remain.
4 In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Preference page, set “Track Select” to Audio Track 1. When you press the SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key, you will be prevented from using “Track Select” to switch between MIDI tracks and audio tracks. 8 Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key. Playback and bounce-recording will begin simultaneously. When the audio tracks finish playing back, recording and playback will stop automatically.
In some cases (such as the hard disk being subjected to physical shock), data saved on the hard drive may become unreadable. We recommend that important data be saved frequently to CD-R/RW. For details on how to save the recorded data (.SNG/.WAV), refer to “Collecting song files and WAVE files saved on different directories into a single directory, and copying (backing up) the data to CD” in Disk mode “Collect Audio Track file” (☞p.52).
BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select The 0–7: Sampling page has changed to the 0–7: Sampling/ HD Audio page (the tab has changed from Sampling to Sampling/HD Audio), and audio track playback parameters and page menu commands have been added. 0–7 0–7a 0–7c 0–7b [L/R, IFX1...5, 1...4, 1/2, 3/4, Off] Selects the bus for the audio track. L/R: The output of the audio track will be sent to the OUTPUT MAIN L (MONO)/R jacks. IFX1...IFX5: The output of the audio track will be sent to an insert effect.
2. Auditioning the contents of a WAVE file 0–7: Page Menu Command In the 0–7: Sampling page, the page menu commands “Sel Dir/WAVE (Audio Track),” “Auto Sampling/HD Audio Setup,” “Bounce All Tracks To Song,” and “Copy From Program” (☞p.43) have been added. 1 Choose “Sel Dir/WAVE (Audio Track)” to open the dialog box. “Drive Select” 0–7B 0–7C 0–7D 2 Use “Drive Select,” the Open button, and the Up button to select the drive and directory, and select the WAVE file (44.
0–7C: Auto Sampling/HD Audio Setup This command automatically sets the appropriate parameters to the optimal settings for use with various Sequencer mode sampling and audio operations. 1 Choose “Auto Sampling/HD Audio Setup” to open the dialog box. Sequencer 4 Press the Set button to assign the selected WAVE file to the audio track. Only a 48 kHz stereo WAVE file can be assigned to the audio track. If you select a 44.
Punch In 2 Use “To Song” to select the bounce-recording destination song. 3 Use “WAVE” to specify a name for the WAVE file that will be created by the bounce-recording operation. The save-destination of the WAVE file created by bounce-recording is specified by the page menu command “Sel Dir/WAVE (Audio Track).” (☞p.16) 4 Press the OK button to execute the “Bounce All Tracks To Song” operation. If you decide not to execute, press the Cancel button.
Select Indiv.1/2 if you want to listen to the MIDI track playback while recording only the external audio signal connected to the AUDIO INPUT (or S/P DIF or EXB-mLAN). Set Input “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” (0–7a ☞PG p.56) to 1, 2, or 1/2 so that the external audio signal will be sent to INDIVIDUAL 1, 2, or 1/2 buses. In this case, use INDIV.1, 2 OUT to monitor the audio signal that is being recorded. You will need to connect a mixer to AUDIO OUTPUT MAIN L, R and INDIV 1, 2 to monitor all of these outputs.
Sequencer P5: Track Edit 2 Choose “Put WAVE” to open the dialog box. Audio tracks can now be edited in the Sequencer P5: Track Edit page (☞PG p.68). Accordingly, an audio track display has been added, and page menu commands have been added or modified. A WAVE file cannot be edited to a length greater than 80 minutes. “Drive Select” 3 Use “Drive Select” to select the drive that contains the WAVE file. 4 Select the WAVE file that you want to place in the audio track.
You cannot “put” a WAVE file that is longer than 80 minutes. 5–1S: Normalize/Level (Normalize/Level Adjust) This command applies the same processing as the Sampling mode Sampling P1: Sample Edit page menu command “Normalize/Level Adjust” to a WAVE file. (☞PG p.104 “1– 1l: Normalize/Level Adj.”) The data values (volume) in the “From Measure”–“To Measure” region will be adjusted uniformly. Using “Normalize” will boost the level of the data as high as possible without allowing it to clip.
4 Use “Sensitivity” to set the sensitivity at which noise will be detected. Higher settings will cause even slight noises to be detected. Normally you should execute the command with a setting of 1, and increase the setting if the noise has not been removed. 5 If “Overwrite.WAV” is checked, the results of executing the command will overwrite the WAVE file that is assigned to the audio track.
9 If you press the Stretch button, the Time Stretch dialog box will appear, and you can re-do the time stretch once again. Execute Time Stretch as described in step 5 and 6. 0 Save the time stretched data. Press the Save button to display the Save dialog box. automatically. The automatically created program will be assigned to a MIDI track, and note data will be automatically created on that MIDI track. (See diagram below.
Changes to the page menu commands Support for audio tracks has been added to the following page menu commands, and the dialog boxes have changed accordingly. 5–1C: Erase Track In the page menu command “Erase Track” (☞PG p.70), the dialog box now contains “All MIDI Tracks,” “Overwrite.WAV,” and “Name” items, and there is now an execution procedure for when you have selected an audio track.
5 Press the OK button to execute the command. In the case of “Bounce Track,” the bounce-source track data will be set to “zero”. If you decide not to execute, press the Cancel button. 5–1F: Erase Measure 5–1G: Delete Measure 5–1H: Insert Measure 5–1I: Repeat Measure The items “All MIDI Tracks,” “Overwrite.WAV,” and “Name” have been added to the dialog box of “Erase Measure” (☞PG p.70), “Delete Measure,” “Insert Measure” (☞PG p.71), and “Repeat Measure” (☞PG p.
5–1J: Copy Measure 5–1K: Move Measure The items “All MIDI Tracks,” “Overwrite.WAV,” and “Name” have been added to the dialog box of “Copy Measure” and “Move Measure” (☞PG p.72), and you can now apply these commands to the audio tracks. If executing with “Track Select” set to a MIDI track (Track 01–16) Normally you will execute with “Overwrite.WAV” unchecked. The page menu command “Sel Dir/WAV (Audio Track)” specifies the save-destination for the newly created WAVE file.
5–1Q: Set Song Length Sequencer The items “Overwrite.WAV” and “Name” have been added to the page menu command “Set Song Length” (☞PG p.75). If the song contains an audio track and you execute this command to shorten the length of the song (the “Length” field), the audio track will also be shortened to the same length as the song. If you check “Overwrite.WAV,” the results of executing the command will overwrite the WAVE file assigned to the audio track.
Auto Sampling/HD Audio Setup The page menu command “Auto Sampling/HD Audio Setup” has been added to the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Sampling/HD Audio page. (☞p.17) This convenient function automatically sets the relevant parameters to the ideal settings for various operations such as Sequencer mode sampling (e.g., In-Track Sampling), recording using the “HD Audio Track,” two-channel mixdown to create an audio CD, or bouncing tracks. (For the automatically-set parameters and their values, refer to p.
3. In-Track Sampling The In-Track Sampling function samples an external audio signal from AUDIO INPUT etc. into sample memory (RAM) in synchronization with song playback, and also automatically creates note data in a MIDI track. The sampled audio data can easily be played from the MIDI track or edited. (☞BG p.115) The “In-Track Sampling” radio button automatically makes the appropriate settings for this function. Use INDIV. 1/2 OUT to monitor the audio signal being recorded.
4. 2ch Mix to Disk 5. HD Audio Track REC As a preparatory step to creating an audio CD from your completed song, you must resample your song to create a two-channel stereo WAVE file on the internal hard drive. (☞BG p.116) The “2ch Mix to Disk” radio button automatically makes the necessary settings for creating this WAVE file. “HD Audio Track REC” automatically adjusts the settings so that you can play back MIDI tracks while you record only an external two-channel audio source on the audio tracks. (☞p.
■ Recording on the audio track(s) 2 Use the radio buttons to select Bounce Audio Track. 7 Set “Location” to the location that you want to record. 3 Use “From” to select the bounce-source track(s), and “To” to select the bounce-destination track(s). 9 Play the musical instrument etc. that is connected to the AUDIO INPUT jack(s) you selected for “Source Audio.” 0 When you have finished performing, press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key.

Support for exclusive events 2 Move to Global mode, and in Global P1: MIDI, MIDI Filter, check the “Enable Exclusive” check box. Recording and playing exclusive events Version 2.0 allows exclusive messages to be recorded and played back, and allows you to edit tracks that contain exclusive events. Exclusive messages (including XG or GS data) received from an external MIDI device, and parameter changes produced by editing track parameters (☞p.35) can now be recorded in realtime on the desired track.
2. Recording exclusive messages received from the TRITON-Rack Here’s how you can connect the TRITON STUDIO and a TRITON-Rack via MIDI, and use the TRITON STUDIO to record exclusive messages received from the TRITON-Rack. 7 On the TRITON STUDIO, select the Sequencer P5: Track Edit page menu command “Event Edit.” In the Set Event Filters dialog box, check Exclusive and press the OK button. 1 Connect the TRITON-Rack’s MIDI connectors (IN/OUT) to the TRITON STUDIO’s MIDI connectors (OUT/IN).
The maximum amount of exclusive message that can be recorded at once is approximately 320 Kbytes. This size will decrease if other events exist within the same measure. You cannot simultaneously record exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device and parameter changes produced by editing.
The page menu command “Put Effect Setting to Track” places effect settings into a track as exclusive events. As an example, we will use the preset template song “Acid Jazz” to explain how to use the “Put Effect Setting to Track” page menu command. In this example we will switch the insert effect for Track 03: Elec.Piano from 023: Stereo Phaser to 020: Stereo Flanger at the beginning of measure 9. We will explain two ways in which you can do this: method 1) and method 2).
2) Using the effect specified by the song itself from the beginning of the song, and inserting the effect settings from another song at the middle of the song 7 Choose “Put Effect Setting to Track” to open the dialog box. For the insert effect (IFX3) used by track 3, we will use 023: Stereo Phaser (specified by the template song) from the beginning of the song, and insert MIDI parameter change system exclusive messages at measure 9 to switch to the 020: Stereo Flanger settings from another song.
Sequencer P6: Pattern/RPPR The Sequencer P5: Track Edit page menu commands “Event Edit” (☞PG p.69) and “Erase Measure” (☞PG p.70) now allow you to view and edit exclusive events. If you want to edit only exclusive events in “Event Edit,” open the “Set Event Filters” dialog box and check the Exclusive box. To erase exclusive events, in the “Erase Measure” dialog box, set “Kind” to Exclusive. The Sequencer P6: Pattern Edit page menu command “Event Edit” (☞PG p.
