Layering Sounds?
One of the things that I'd truly love to do with my Triton LE is to be able to layer say... two sounds or perhaps more. Is there a way to do this on the Triton LE and if so, could you please explain each step, so that I could accomplish this?
Thanks
Thanks

Read the operation guide to find out more about combi mode.
Essentially, you'll want to have several timbres, all using the global MIDI channel, with different sounds on each (as well as possibly using different key ranges or velocity ranges).

Thanks for the information. It's to bad that Korg did not make it easier to layer sounds. At least with a Casio Workstation keyboard, it's just a matter of a push of the button.kanthos wrote:Read the operation guide to find out more about combi mode.

I think you're confusing ease of use and functionality.AorphiA wrote:Thanks for the information. It's to bad that Korg did not make it easier to layer sounds.

sure, it requires less button presses on the Casio, but you don't have anything near the functionality.
Combination mode provides you with a place to play anything that consists of more than one sound - layers, splits, things with different arpeggiators. You can apply different effects to a sound, assign keyzones and velocity zones... and you can save all of this to a combination ready to use it later.
It is probably the most elegant and efficient way of doing all of this without reducing functionality. The Korg system is very flexible, which is what many people like about their keyboards - not many things are decided for you, you are given the tools to make your own choice.
It is part of being a keyboardist, to spend time sitting down with the keyboard and actually setting up these things so that you are prepared for a gig or to know what to do on demand in the studio. Just like a guitarist would sit and familiarize himself with pedals. A workstation is not an instant-gratification toy, it is an instrument and tool of great breadth and depth.

I understand what you are saying. It's like, once you are familiar with all it's functions, it's easy as 1-2-3. But, when you are not familiar with it, it's like climbing a mountain. I suppose I'll eventually figure it all out.X-Trade wrote:I think you're confusing ease of use and functionality.AorphiA wrote:Thanks for the information.

Yes. Force yourself to read the manual several times! With understandingI understand what you are saying. It's like, once you are familiar with all it's functions, it's easy as 1-2-3. But, when you are not familiar with it, it's like climbing a mountain. I suppose I'll eventually figure it all out.
Thanks Very Happy
