Creating a 4-way velocity-switched program

Korg Triton

March, 2005

1. Select any INIT Program; for this example we’ll use E-127. Press the MENU key and select P1, Edit-Basic. Set the Oscillator Mode to Double, and touch the OSC Basic Tab. 2. Assign your four samples from the lowest velocity to the highest, starting with OSC2 Low, then OSC2 High, OSC1 Low next, and OSC1 Hig

1. Select any INIT Program; for this example we’ll use E-127. Press the MENU key and select P1, Edit-Basic. Set the Oscillator Mode to Double, and touch the OSC Basic Tab.

2. Assign your four samples from the lowest velocity to the highest, starting with OSC2 Low, then OSC2 High, OSC1 Low next, and OSC1 High. Even without loading any samples, you can follow this example by using any four ROM multisamples.

3. Next, at the bottom of the screen, “Velocity M.Sample SW Lo?Hi” sets the velocity level where each OSC will switch from its Low sample to its High one. Since OSC2 will be the low range, let’s set it switch at 70. Set OSC1 to switch at 105.

4. Currently, both oscillators are playing together, but each switches samples at the levels you just set. The next step is to separate them by setting the velocity range for each oscillator. Touch the “Velo Zone Tab” — here you can set these final parameters. Set OSC2 to play from 001 to 90, and then Set OSC1 to play from 91 up to 127.

Now that you’re done, OSC2 plays its low sample from velocity level 1 to 69; at 70, it switches to its High sample. At 91, OSC1 takes over with its Low sample, switching to its High sample at 105 for the rest of the range. Cool, huh? You’ll want to adjust the values to suit the specific needs of each sound.
