Sampling mode: Creating a multisample across Extreme’s keyboard
The TRITON Extreme samples at 48 kHz, 16-bit, in mono or stereo, and provides extensive TouchView
graphic editing of waveform data, time slice and time stretching functions, BPM Grid Editing, and much
more! With the included 16 MB SIMM module, the TRITON Extreme is capable of recording samples of
up to 174 seconds @ mono, or 87 seconds @ stereo. Fully expanded with three 32MB SIMM modules
(96 MB), it allows about 17.4 mono minutes or 8.6 stereo minutes of sampling.
!
The correct SIMMS are 72-pin, non-parity, EDO or Fast Page (FPM) DRAM SIMM, 60 ns (nanoseconds) or
faster, 11-bit addressing.
