I'd like to re-load my Triton Classic with all the factory sounds but seem to remember having problems in the past as they are on more than one disk, also I done have a computer with a floppy drive. How can I do this? Can you help?

I have an Apple iMac with Yosemite or a Windows laptop with Vista if that makes any difference? Can I do it via MIDI? If so, how?

In a total novis so please go easy on me!!

The factory sounds are contained on a single .pcg file which can be found at the korg forums download section for the classic. .pcg is a relatively small file and 3 should fit on a single floppy disc. You may have been thinking of OS disks which is a multi disc operation. Reloading the factory should be just one.

Loading that file will require you to have a working disc drive on the triton and also your computer &/or a midi connection to your computer.

Just pop a disc into your triton, press the disc button and choose your operation (load). You can optimize the load by digging down into the menu to find exactly what you want to load.

For a full reset just load everything by selecting the top menu "load pcg". All data on the pcg - programs combis and global data - will load.

His memory of it being more than one disk is actually correct if you download directly from Korg's website....the factory preload data has the .PCG for all the programs/Combi/Arps/drum kits on disk 1 and the samples for the SNG preloads on disk 2. I just pulled mine out to check. If you don't need the SNG files and the inane samples used in them, then there should be no problem loading from the small PCG. I must say that a couple of the demo songs are quite well done, they even make the weak Bank A1 Acoustic Piano program sound good.

Right, Lorien.

To reiterate, the file Johnob68 wants is the .PCG file.

I think there may have been a couple of variations of the "factory" disc as well, depending on whether additional sounds were loaded.

I know that the A and B banks are a "must load" and the A & B combination banks reference A & B programs.

I can't recall specifically if there were additional C & D banks on the factory discs and whether they are self referencing, though I suspect they are (i.e., C combis use C + A, B programs and no D... D + A, B, no C).

I know for sure that the EXB sounds overwrite the C and D banks so C & D might be considered "expendable".

@Johno - I strongly suggest getting a librarian/editor for organizing and moving sounds around. There are at least 3 freeware/shareware ones: TritonLib (PC), LeLibby (Java [Mac/PC]) and Michel Keijzer's PCGTools (PC), the last being the most comprehensive with ongoing support and presence here.

YMMV of course, but I did find a few useful programs (no useful combos, sadly) in the factory C and D banks. Saved them into my E bank prior to overwriting with EXB sounds. Of course each person's definition of useful is subjective.

@ Lorien42

Re: "useful".

I've done a lot of tweaking and writing combis over the years I've had my Triton, one of the most valuable lessons learned is to use programs and combis I like as templates for developing new sounds.

If you like a particular EDM combi because of the way that the "bones" of it are set up, you can then try it with different bass, pad lead, drum kit, etc. When you've touched and tweaked everything to you satisfaction you'll have something close to new with minimal effort.

Likewise, with programs, especially synths taking a lead sound you like and substituting new wave samples from the OSC menu will get you many new sounds to try out.
