Safety precautions
Warnings
• When installing, repairing, or replacing the parts of this
product, you must perform only those actions that the
owner’s manual directs, and no other.
• Do not apply excessive force to the electronic
components or connectors of the circuit board(s), or
attempt to disassemble them. This could cause electric
shock, fire, or malfunction.
• Before installing this product, be sure to disconnect the
power supply cable, and the connecting cables to any
peripheral devices. Failure to do so could cause
electrical shock or may damage this device.
Cautions
• Do not allow this product to become wet, and do not
allow objects to be placed on top of it. Doing so could
cause malfunction.
• Before touching this product, touch a metal component
of the device into which it will be installed, to discharge
any static electricity that may be present in your body.
Static electricity may damage the electronic components.
• When handing this product, be careful not to touch the
leads on the back side of the circuit board (the side
opposite that on which the components are mounted).
The sharp points may cause injury.
• When installing this product, never touch components
or circuit boards that are not related to the connections
you are required to make. Doing so may cause
electrocution or malfunctions.
• When installing this product, be careful not to cut your
hands on the sharp edges of the metal brackets etc. of
this product or of the device into which it is being
installed.
• When installing this product, be careful that screws or
other parts do not fall into the device into which it is
being installed.
About option boards and memory
By installing option boards or memory into your TRITON-
Rack, you can expand its functionality. The following six
types of expansion are possible.
●
EXB-MOSS (DSP synthesizer board)
This adds to the TRITON-Rack a MOSS tone generator that
provides thirteen oscillator algorithms, including Standard,
Ring Modulation, VPM, Resonance, Organ Model, and Elec-
tric Piano Model. This lets you use the MOSS tone generator
in program, combination, multi modes. The MOSS tone gen-
erator has six-note polyphony.
●
EXB-SCSI (SCSI interface board)
This adds a SCSI connector to the TRITON-Rack. In the
same way that you save programs, combinations, sequence
data and sample data etc. from the TRITON-Rack to a
floppy disk, you can save/load this data to/from an exter-
nal SCSI high-capacity storage device (hard disk, ZIP disk,
JAZ disk, ORB disk, MO disk). This also allows you to load
Akai (S1000/S3000), Korg, AIFF, and WAVE format sample
files etc. from a CD-ROM drive.
The TRITON-Rack cannot format media with a format of
other than 512 bytes/block (such as 640 MB, 1.3 GB MO
disks etc.).
CD-ROM formats that can be loaded
• AKAI (S1000/S3000) format
• ISO9660 Level 1 format (multisession data can be loaded
only if the first session is in ISO9660 format)
• TRINITY format (only .KSC/.KMP/.KSF files can be
loaded)
●
EXB-DI (digital interface board)
The six channels of the TRITON-Rack’s AUDIO OUTPUT
jacks (MAIN) L/MONO, R, (INDIVIDUAL) 1–4 (analog
audio outputs) will be output as 24 bit 48 kHz digital signals
on channels 1–6 of the ADAT optical format. By using the
WORD CLOCK IN jack, digital audio signals can be syn-
chronized between the TRITON-Rack and a connected
device.
●
EXB-mLAN (mLAN Interface Board)
This is an option board for connecting the TRITON-Rack to
an mLAN system. The TRITON-Rack with EXB-mLAN,
other mLAN-compatible electronic musical instruments and
computers can be connected easily using a IEEE 1394 cable,
allowing high-volume transmission and reception of MIDI
data and transmission of audio data (48kHz sampling Fre-
quency audio data can be transmitted via TRITON-Rack's 6
OUT) --- a great convenience when using recording software
on your computer. Included software allows the connection
status of connected devices to be flexibly programmed from
your computer, and OMS/ASIO drivers for Macintosh are
also included.
●
EXB-PCM series (PCM expansion boards)
Each of these boards adds 16 Mbytes of multisamples and
drum samples to the TRITON-Rack. (The details will differ
according to the series.)
EXB-PCM01: Piano/Classic Keyboards
EXB-PCM02: Studio Essentials
EXB-PCM03: Future Loop Construction
EXB-PCM04: Dance Extreme
EXB-PCM05: Vintage Archives
