Importing TRITON PCGs and KMP files:

Go to SOUND MODE then go to SAMPLING MODE by HITTING RECORD,
after that on the dropdown MENU find IMPORT, after that find the file
you want and IMPORT single PCG or whole BANKS.
Same way you can import KMPS.

RAM-ROM explanation:

ROM-READ ONLY MEMORY, its the internal storage of FACTORY SOUNDS and
it matters a lot, if its bigger you get better sounds.
RAM-RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY, its the internal storage dedicated to
SAMPLES and SAMPLING, it is erased when shuting off the synth and when
you turn it back on you have to reload.
The only exception in here is the PA800 which when you turn it off and then
turn it back on the RAM is still inside kept in FLASH which means you dont
need to reload. What the situation with the PA2XPRO will be we dont know yet.
And no, samples are not loaded during the boot process, thats only if the
option AUTOLOAD is checked in the preferences, when PA800 starts if that
option is checked it LOADS them but in 90 seconds, on the PA1X you have
to wait 9/10 min before it starts.

Different STS on different VAR:
To have a different STS in every varitaion i mean by changing the VAR
so that the STS will change automatically it is only one single process.
Save the STSs from one to 4 the same as the variations, 1-4 i mean if
you need STS1 in VAR1 has to be saved in STS1 then 2 in 2 and so on.
The SINGLE TOUCH button on the left:
If its solid LIGHT means it will change STS when changing style,
no LIGHT it wont change STS while changing styles and there is
one more thing:
When its SOLID LIGHT, if you press it only one time you will get
a BLINKING LIGHT, if you leave it like that thats when you get the
style to change STSs by VARIATIONs.

Creating Goove files from WAVE files:

Go to SOUND MODE, click RECORD and you are in SAMPLING MODE.
After that click MENU and select TIME SLICE, once in there on the dropdown
MENU hit LOAD and locate the WAVE FILE you need.
After LOADing nothing happens yet if you press a key, in TIME SLICE MODE
Adjust the MEASURES PARAMETER to how many MEASURES the FILE is and
after that hit SLICE. Hit the dropdown again and hit SAVE, sellect a location
which has to be one of the USER BANKS and save it. Get out of SAMPLING
by hitting RECORD again and go to STYLE MODE.
In there hit RECORD, choose NEW or CURRENT STYLE and once in there hit
MENU and sellect IMPORT, it brings you straight to GROOVE.
In there you already see the available GROOVES, choose the one you like
and under that choose to which STYLE ELEMENT it goes and EXECUTE.

IMPORTANT:
This will only work before the synth has been SHUT DOWN after saving
the LOOP in SAMPLING MODE since TIME SLICE info wont stay there if
not used in any STYLE, all the LOOPS after that will only be regular SOUND PCGs!!!

A tip about FX:
When trying to get more then 2 FX per SOUND its easy to achieve that
depending on the FX you want. On the PA800 after the 80eth or 90eth
effect there is a bundle of COMBINATION effects like Compressor, Faser,
or Phlanger or Distortion and WAH WAH and else FX in COMBINATION
with a REVERB or DELAY thus will give you in certain cases even 4 FULL
FX a single SOUND or PERFORMANCE. The COMBINATION FX have FULL
editors meaning that in the editor of both FX both FX are treated separetrly
with all of the parameters as a single effect available, ROUTING and also
a separate AMOUNT/WET/DRY parameter.
