RACK


Maximum number of sounds for major sonic potential
The TRITON-Rack can deliver even more of the HI synthesis system sounds that were so highly acclaimed on the TRITON. Fully expanded, you can have immediate access to a maximum of 2,057 programs (including 256 GM programs + 9 GM drum programs for GM Level 2 compatibility), and 1,664 combinations each allowing up to eight timbres to be used together. The TRITON-Rack allows up to eight PCM expansion boards to be installed, delivering an amazing 160 Mbytes of PCM wave memory. And it features the same powerful dual polyphonic arpeggiator function as the TRITON keyboard, but with an expanded memory of 328 patterns.

Check out sounds with the Audition Riff function
In the Program mode of the TRITON-Rack, you can use the Audition Riff function to efficiently search the mammoth array of sounds or to check a sound that you are editing. More than 350 riffs are provided.

Sample up a storm with up to 96 Mbytes of internal memory
The 48 kHz 16-bit linear mono/stereo sampler section further expands your sound-creating possibilities. A total of 3 memory slots allows you to expand your sampling memory to an amazing 96
1 The TRITON-Rack already incorporates all the sophisticated functions introduced in TRITON Version 2.0, with waveform editing commands such as Time Slice, Time Stretch, Crossfade Loop, and visual waveform editing that make it easy to produce breakbeats. New features include the ability to export samples as WAV and AIFF files for further editing on computer systems or use in other products (like the Electribe*S)

Beef up your performance potential with Multi mode
In Multi mode, the TRITON-Rack will function as a 16-part multi-timbral tone generator that can play back multiple tracks from an external MIDI sequencer. In addition to Program and transposition settings, you can assign and edit the powerful five Insert and two Master effects and store the full setup as a "multi" in one of two hundred memory locations. A multi also includes pattern, RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording), and arpeggiator settings, and the specified phrases can be played back in synchronization with an external MIDI sequencer. The TRITON-Rack provides 150 preset patterns ideal for drum tracks, plus 100 user patterns.
When executing the Time Slice operation, you can even automatically create patterns corresponding to the sliced samples and assign the patterns to RPPR. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard to play these patterns and control their tempo in realtime.

Extra support for digital output
The TRITON-Rack provides a standard S/PDIF connector for high-quality stereo audio output (24 bit fidelity). Plus it also allows an optional EXB-DI to be installed to add an eight-channel ADAT output connector with a 48 kHz Word Clock IN.

Expand your horizons
In addition to the freedom to install up to eight EXBPCM boards, three 32MB SIMM modules, and the l ADAT output connector and mLAN board, the TRITON-Rack can also accommodate the EXBMOSS DSP synthesizer board. Add an entirely new six-voice tone generator, which provides thirteen forms of synthesis. Add the EXB-SCS1 interface board so you can load and save your TRITON-Rack data on an external SCSI device, and load AKA1 sample data from CD- ROM. Installation of all options is easy simply open the top cover.

TRITON-Rack Options
The TRITON-Rack supports all of the options boards that are available for the TRITON series of keyboards. These include:



EXB-MOSS DSP SYNTHESIZER BOARD

EXPAND YOUR EXPRESSIVE POTENTIAL WITH THE EXB-MOSS DSP TONE GENERATOR board

The TRITON series can be expanded by the installation of the ultimate DSP tone generator --- the 13 oscillator 6-voice MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) tone generator featured on the Z1. This lets you use all synthesis methods --- PCM, analog, VPM (variable phase modulation), and physical modeling --- on a single instrument. When the MOSS tone generator is installed, 128 MOSS programs are added. You can create combination programs that use multiple MOSS timbres together with HI sounds. MOSS (MULTO OSCILLATOR SYNTHESIS SYSTEM) The MOSS sound generator consists of Voice, EG and LFO sections. The voice section contains two powerful oscillator blocks OSC1/OSC2 which let you combine up to two of thirteen types of oscillator algorithm (resonance, organ model, electric piano model, standard, ring modulation, VPM, brass model, reed model and more), a sub oscillator, and a noise generator. The voice section also contains a filter block featuring two multi-mode filters that cover the range from analog synth sounds to complex sounds such as the body resonance of violin or guitar, or even human voice. To this are added five EG units and four LFO units, providing a rich variety of tonal and pitch changes for each voice.

MOSS SPECIFICATIONS

  • Sound Source: 6 voices, 2oscillators (max.) + sub oscillator + noise generator
    Oscillator Types: 13 (Standard, Ring Modulation, Cross Modulation, Oscillator

  • Sync, VPM (Variable Phase Modulation), Comb filter oscillator, Resonance oscillator, Organ model, Electric piano model, Brass model, Reed model, Plucked string model, Bowed string model)

  • Programs: 128

PCM EXPANSION BOARDS

INSTALL A PCM EXPANSION BOARD FOR EVEN MORE PCM DATA.

The internal PCM data and sampling data can be supplemented by adding up to 2 optional 16 Mbyte PCM data boards. Each set consists of a board containing high-quality PCM data and a 3.5" floppy disk containing 128 programs and 128 combinations that use this data.

EXB-PCM01 PCM EXPANSION BOARD - PIANOS/CLASSIC KEYBOARDS

This board provides keyboard sounds such as piano, electric piano, clavinet, and electric organ that will accommodate any style of music. The programs and combinations provided utilize thirty-two new multisamples which provide seven different pianos including a spacious stereo piano, vintage electric piano sounds that range from traditional tones to clav-type sounds, electric organ sounds that lavishly use memory to capture even the modulation of a rotary speaker, and five types of clavinet including two muted variations.

EXB-PCM02 PCM EXPANSION BOARD - STUDIO ESSENTIALS

The thirty-nine new multisamples include seventeen brass/woodwind instruments, eight strings, and nine choirs (including a fantastic gospel choir)--- all indispensable for ensemble sounds. All brass and strings use stereo sampling for enhanced spatial realism. From small ensembles to large, from pop to orchestral, here are the sounds you need for every application.

EXB-PCM03 PCM EXPANSION BOARD - FUTURE LOOPS

EXB-PCM04 PCM EXPANSION BOARD - NY DANCE LOOPS

EXB-PCM05 PCM EXPANSION BOARD - VINTAGE ARCHIVES

EXB-SCSI SCSI INTERFACE BOARD
CONNECT EXTERNAL MEDIA VIA A SCSI CONNECTOR
SCSI interface lets you connect TRITON series to an external media (hard disk, removable media such as Jaz and ZIP ) or a CD-ROM drive . When this option is installed, you can save TRITON series data such as program/combination data, samples, sequence data, and global data to external media. Also you can load AKAI S1000/S3000 format sample program files, KORG Trinity-format sample files, AIFF & WAVE format sample files via CD ROM drive.

In addition, these options are available.

• EXB-DI Digital Interface Board - Adds ADAT optical connectors to the TRITON-Rack.

• EXB-mLAN - mLAN Interface Board - For connecting the TRITON-Rack to an mLAN system,
