I've only just discovered how powerful the Triton can be as sampler, after spending the last two weeks creating a massive drum kit from a friend's analog drum module (the amazing Vermona DRM1).
I originally thought that I would end up sampling the drum hits into Sony Soundforge, but it actually turned out to be quicker and easier to use the Triton. After a few important settings-- namely: Threshold Trigger at -36 db, and a Pre Trigger REC at 8 ms-- I was flying through the samples! I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, the real reason I bought this workstation is that it excels at so many things.
Anyway, my question: For everyone sampling on the Triton, are you leaving the "Recording Level" at 0 db, or raising it until just below the point where it says "CLIP!!"?
Now, I'm not talking about the gain knob on the back of the board-- I know this should be cranked up to the point just below the "ADC OVERLOAD!!" message.
I pulled out my manuals and found an interesting contradiction between the Operation Guide and the Parameter Guide:
According to the Parameter Guide (p. 108): "Adjust Recording Level to the maximum level that does not cause "CLIP!!" to appear."
According to the Operation Guide (p.65): Korg recommends the Recording Level be left at 0 db for sampling external input, or left at -12 db for resampling.
This may sound like I'm nit-picking, but I become a real perfectionist when it comes to sound design.
Thanks,
Jake
