What sort of modifications have you made to your Triton?

Hi everyone. What modifications have you guys done to your Triton series synths? Here was a neat one I did today that I think will be really useful. It solves the problem of breaking the joystick module when you put your Triton in a case or want to fix it and accidentally forget to leave part of it hanging off a table. I'm sure it's been done before. It's simple, all you have to do is disassemble the joystick module and there's just one screw holding it in.

It's very sturdy as I use it.

My favorite for the Triton: I mounted a CF drive on the left side of the Triton.

Do you still have your floppy drive in your Triton, or did that take it's place? Very nice work, I must say! Any pictures of the inside? Can you have a filesystem larger than 1.44 MB and have your Triton still read it?

the floppy is in it's original place. Originally, I had the CF drive mounted there and decided later to put the floppy back and put the CF drive elsewhere.

There's a slew of photos here: http://s848.photobucket.com/albums/ab49 ... en/triton/

McHale, to install your CF reader, you had to cut the plastic leg which links the panel to the bottom shell. Did it not create any noisy vibration of the casing while playing? I'm asking the question because this bolt is loosened in my Triton, and I assume it's one source of my current issue (actually difficult to locate). I see you use a Pro too : do you lay it on a desk or on a stand like RTX?

Thanks for your feedback.

Mounted CF-Reader in the floppy slot.

All,

Not a mod, per se; more of a deep hack. I did a personalized re-work of the Classic's arp section to put in as many drum patterns (which I use) as possible, reorganize by type (something that was done on later models), and get rid of things that aren't used (based on a vet of the combis I chose to install). Then did a reorganization all of the voices to the Alesis QS format (It is similar to GM but in groups of 10. This makes for a much easier than hexadecimal 13 cat x 10 program mnemonic, speeding live use voice changes); added in data from 2 installed EXB's, rewrote combis according to new structure, made alphabetical set-list banks, made all combi voices arp-active from first hit.

Now that I have an Extreme doing all that plus classical/acoustic sounds, I'm probably gonna dive back in and do a V.2 using the more synth oriented EXB's (classic synths and trance attack) for an edgier/more dance oriented sound set.
