Editing sounds etc.
By using various MIDI exclusive data dumps, you can
rewrite all programs or an individual program. By using
parameter change messages, you can edit individual param-
eters as follows.
Parameter changes
• In Program mode, all parameters other than the
program name can be edited. Performance editor
parameters are included.
• In Combination mode, parameters other than the
combination name can be edited.
• In Multi mode, you can edit parameters other than
multi name, “Control Track,” “RPPR On/Off,” “
(Tempo)” of the 1.1: Play–4.4: MIDI Filter 4 pages, and
the parameters of 6.1: Arp., 7.1 BUS, 7.2: Insert FX, and
7.3: Master FX.
Drum kit parameter change/User arpeggio pattern
parameter change
• In Global mode, you can edit drum kits and user
arpeggio patterns.
Since other global parameters cannot be edited, use data
dump to change their setting. Data dumping of Sampling
mode data is not supported.
The global MIDI channel is used to transmit and receive this
data.
First check
GLOBAL 2.1–1b “MIDI Filter” - “Exclusive,”
so that exclusive data can be transmitted and received.
When you change modes on the TRITON-Rack, a mode
change message will transmitted. When you change pro-
grams or combinations, the parameters for one program or
one combination will be transmitted together with the pro-
gram change. When you edit individual parameters, param-
eter change, drum kit parameter change, or user arpeggio
pattern (parameter change and multi parameter change)
messages will be transmitted.
When these messages are received, the same editing opera-
tion will be performed as on the transmitted device.
After MIDI exclusive data has been received and processed,
a Data Load Completed message will be transmitted. The
control master device must not transmit the next message
until this message is received (or until a sufficient interval of
time has elapsed).
When you change programs or combinations, or use param-
eter changes to edit, the changes will affect the data in the
edit buffer and will not be stored in internal memory unless
you Write, so that the changes will be lost if you re-select the
program or combination. The Write operation can be per-
formed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request or Com-
bination Write Request message, in addition to the usual
method of using the TRITON-Rack’s switches. (
It is not necessary to write a multi, but it will not be backed
up when the power is turned off. If you wish to keep the
data, save it on external media before turning the power.

BG p.40 “Saving on external media”)
If notes are “stuck”
If for some reason, notes become “stuck” and will not stop
sounding, you can usually stop the sound by changing the
mode. If notes played via MIDI are stuck, you can discon-
nect the MIDI cable.
MIDI transmits a message called Active Sensing [FE] at reg-
ular intervals. A device that receives this message will be
aware that an external MIDI device is transmitting to it. Sub-
sequently, if no MIDI messages are received for a certain
interval of time, the receiving device will decide that the
connection has been broken, and will turn off any notes that
had been sounded via MIDI and reset its controller values.
Playing the TRITON-Rack multi-timbrally
from an external device
The TRITON-Rack can be connected to an external device
and played multi-timbrally in the following ways.
• MIDI messages from the external device can play a
combination (8-part multi-timbral performance). You
can change the overall settings (programs, levels, and
effects) by using program change messages to switch
combinations.
• MIDI messages from the external device can be used to
play a multi (16-part multi-timbral performance).
Overall settings (programs, levels, effects etc.) can be
changed by using a Song Select message to switch
multis. (Song Select messages can be received if “MIDI
Clock”: GLOBAL 2.1–1a is set to EXT.)
Synchronizing the playback of the arpeg-
giator or pattern/RPPR
The choice of whether the TRITON-Rack will be the master
(the controlling device) or the slave (the controlled device) is
made by GLOBAL 2.1–1a “MIDI Clock.”
Using the external MIDI device as master and the
TRITON-Rack as slave
Connect the TRITON-Rack’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector of the external MIDI device. (
• When you set “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a) to
External
, the TRITON-Rack will be the slave device.
Arpeggiator:
The tempo will follow the MIDI timing
clock. If you playback the external sequencer, the TRI-
TON-Rack’s arpeggiator will synchronize to the external
timing clock. (
Even if “MIDI Clock” is External and the TRITON-Rack
is being controlled from the external device, the perfor-
mance of the arpeggiator will still be transmitted via
MIDI. (In Combination and Multi modes, the arpeggiator
performance will be transmitted from timbres/tracks
whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.)
Pattern/RPPR: The tempo will follow the MIDI timing
clock. You can play back an external sequencer, and syn-
chronize the pattern/RPPR to the MIDI timing clock that
it transmits. Even if “MIDI Clock” is set to External and
the TRITON-Rack is being controlled from an external
device, musical data will be transmitted by tracks whose
“Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.
Using the TRITON-Rack as master and the external
MIDI device as slave
Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the TRITON-Rack to
the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device. (
• When you set “MIDI Clock” to Internal, the TRITON-
Rack will be the master device, and will transmit MIDI
timing clock messages.
Arpeggiator:
The tempo can be controlled from the TRI-
TON-Rack. Simultaneously, the performance of the
arpeggiator will be transmitted via MIDI. (In Combina-
tion, and Multi modes, data will be transmitted by tim-
bres/tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.) An
