Samples and Multisamples
Samples
The data that is recorded (sampled) into internal memory
or loaded from a file is referred to as a sample or sample
file. Samples consist of the actual waveform data, and
parameters that specify how the data will be played back,
such as Start, Loop Start, and End Address. Samples can
be used in multisamples and drum kits.
The TRITON STUDIO can hold a maximum of 4,000 sam-
ples in its internal memory.
The TRITON STUDIO can share a single waveform
among multiple samples. This allows you to create
multiple samples with different playback addresses
from the same waveform without wasting internal
memory. For example, suppose that you have wave-
form data that records a voice saying “One-Two-
Three.” This single piece of waveform data could be
shared by three samples, with the playback of sample
A producing “One-Two-Three,” sample B producing
“One-Two,” and sample C producing “Two-Three.”

Multisamples
A multisample consists of settings that make one or more
samples sound in different areas of the keyboard. A multi-
sample consist of between one and 128 “indexes.” Each
index contains parameters that specify the sample that
will playback, the zone in which it will playback, the orig-
inal pitch key, the playback pitch, and level etc.
Using multisamples
When sampling an instrument that is able to produce a
wide range of pitches, such as a piano, recording just one
sample and applying it (playing it back) over the entire
pitch range will not produce a natural-sounding result. By
using a multisample you can record separate samples for
each pitch range, and assign these samples to their respec-
tive pitch ranges to avoid any unnatural sounds during
playback.
All of the instrumental sounds in the TRITON STUDIO’s
internal preset ROM multisamples are constructed in this
way. For example, you might record one sample per
octave, and assign each of these samples to an index (key-
board area).
By assigning multiple samples such as phrase samples or
rhythm loops to a multisample and arranging them across
the keyboard, you can play multiple samples simulta-
neously. Since a different phrase could be assigned to each
key, you can perform just as though you were using a
pad-type sampler. Alternatively, these samples could be
assigned at one-octave intervals, and played as phrase
variations with different playback pitches.
The TRITON STUDIO can hold a maximum of 1,000 mul-
tisamples in its internal memory.
A multisample can be selected as the oscillator for a pro-
gram, and played as a program. In a combination, they
can be combined with preset programs, and used in a
multi. They can be used with the arpeggiator to produce
interesting results (for example, by using the arpeggiator
to automatically play sound effects or spoken samples).
