Valve Force Technology
That cool blue glow behind the 12AU7 tube in your TRITON Extreme… comes on automatically for some
sounds, but is off when selecting others…many of the Programs and Combinations have been
programmed so that Valve Force kicks-in whenever you select certain sounds, but you can turn the tube
on (or off) whenever you like – just press the
VALVE FORCE
key (it will light), and then press the
REALTIME CONTROLS
key until the LED left of the
orange
VALVE FORCE
section
lights. Now you’ve
got control of tube INPUT TRIM, ULTRA BOOST, TUBE GAIN and OUTPUT LEVEL knobs. Be careful not to
over-boost these controls! Rotate them all the way left at first, and then slowly increase them as you
play or trigger an arp pattern, until you’re satisfied with the settings.
Tip:
You can view and edit the Valve Force parameters in Program, Combi and Sequence modes - in the Master
Effects page: MENU key > “P9: Edit-Master Effect” > “VALVE FORCE” tab. You can also access these
parameters in Sampling mode: MENU key > “P9: VALVE FORCE”.
So what’s Valve Force Technology all about? Why is Korg introducing it on so many products including
the Electribe EMX1 and ESX1? Vacuum tubes produce rich harmonics and smooth distortion, depending
on how they are used. In the TRITON Extreme, the tube can be used as an insert effect or placed just
before the final output – and you can connect an electric guitar, mic, another synth or keyboard, etc. to
the Extreme’s audio inputs and process…even sample or In-Track sample external devices through the
tube! Anyway you apply Valve Force processing, it can add everything from subtle warmth to piano or
acoustic bass sounds, to a nasty “snarl” or “drive” to synth basses, drum arpeggio patterns and many
other elements of your music production!
Try these Valve Force-infused sounds:
Note:
Make sure that the
VALVE FORCE
key is
ON
and the
REALTIME CONTROLS
key is set to the
VALVE FORCE
section!
