someone tell me to me what the disks are for the rack. does it work without a floppy.. also if i want to get more sounds the expansion boards. how do i do this?

 

I have the keyboard Triton. The disks contain sequences, samples, etc... whatever you save to them. Yes, it works without disks.

 

bought it today and everything works but when i push midi keyboard no sound.. but the demo sound works and rest works in studio one
also how do i see what kind of expansions i have installed.... how do i know the expansion name?

 

Possibly in Global they maybe Local On/Off so you could try that... I think I used 'Program; then assign each sound a Midi Channel from 1-16 but long time since I had one

 

Manuals are good.

Google works.
Try using it.

 

Do you know what Local On/Off does on a synth? Local Off lets you use it as a controller without triggering any of the internal sounds.

So how does that work with a Rack unit? They don't have any keys.

 

it does it does. maybe im back in the royal school soon

 

its weird i get sound of INIT banks but EXternal no sound. i have a komplete kontrol midi keyboard and it does not trigger the triton in studio one so strange

 

I still don't understand why anyone would want to use an old hardware version of a digital synth that's available as a plugin already including all 9 expansion boards.

If I remember correctly, the expansions came with a floppy disk containing the programs, the board just got the waveforms on it. Without the disks, you could only access the waveforms and program your own patches, but you need the disk for the original programs.

What do you mean by this?? So you can play the internal banks, but no expansions? And how does this even work if your keyboard doesn't trigger the Triton? Make sure you have chosen the same MIDI channel for the Triton to receive on and Studio One to send to your MIDI interface's correct output connected to the Triton.

 

This is because all your music production is done with a computer sitting in front of you, and you probably do not play keyboards in a band or some other live performance situations. In the case of the Triton, especially. I get what you mean, but you picked a lousy example of it.

 

Triton "Rack" he could just bring a laptop to a gig. Oh and stop assuming you know people and how they create and perform their music. lol

 

He talks about controlling the Triton rack unit via Studio One. Just opening the Triton VST in Studio One is a very simple way to access all available Triton sounds without any hassle including the need to record everything in realtime. And as the Triton is a digital synth, there is no advantage of using hardware instead of software.

 

Still wrong.

We've already had this discussion about hardware/software versions before. You, on the other hand; are right. I have no idea what you do, what you use, or who you are. Call me disinterested in those items.

 

At least I was trying to give useful answers.

The easiest way to access all Triton sounds including all expansions still is the VSTi.

It's been ages that I worked with a Triton, but as I already wrote, you need the disks with programs for the expansion boards. If they are missing, you can download them here: http://korgforums.com/support/triton-classic.htm

 

it was a studio one ISSUE

 

"Call me disinterested in those items." Call me Daddy.
"Still wrong." Good job! Now let's hear that list of advantages over the software.
So many goofies on this site. lol

 

i just tested hardware and software.. they sound identical but... in hardware the sound is flowing from all over the speakers.. the triton vst sounds lifeless there was a difference in spectrum analysis. also hardware came first, software came after.

 

So they sound "identical" but "flowing from all over the speakers" vs. "lifeless"? Could you post a little example?

 

I have a Triton rack and can confirm the plugin does sound a little flat and lifeless compared to the hardware. Something in the stereo imaging is definitely more noticeable in the hardware.. giving it a much bigger and wider sound. The top end is more open in the hardware also...it seems artificially smoothed (probably oversampled) in the plugin.

It's still a good plugin tho.

 

After all, it's just a 90s rompler with rather "nostalgic" small samples, but I'm really curious to hear some examples. I'm almost sure that the internal FX DSPs make the difference and are not exactly the same in software.

But is it worth all the effort to connect MIDI and audio and record every sound in real time instead of just opening as much plug ins as you like and render offline?

I started producing in the 90s and know what it means to edit sounds on small LCD displays, limited internal FX and laggy MIDI timing when using multi timbral synths and lots of notes and CCs. And I'm happy not to have to do it like this anymore.
