Transferring Sequences from Triton to Kronos

[jroberts@fusionfireprotec]

As someone who used my Triton largely as a stand-alone workstation, I was concerned about finding a simple process to transfer my sequences from my Triton Studio to a new Kronos. Having little to no MIDI experience, Korg Product Support provided me with a great step by step solution with the use of (1) MIDI cable.

While this may be a more cumbersome way to transfer sequences, I can assure you it works wonderfully. So for anyone with the similar concerns, I hope you find the following helpful;


1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the MIDI OUT of the Triton to the MIDI IN on the Kronos.
2. On the Triton, set each track of the sequencer to EXTERNAL.
a. Press MENU and touch “P1: TRK PARAM”
b. Touch “MIDI CH 1-8” tab and change Status of all tracks to “EXT.
c. Do the same on “MIDI CH 9-16”.
d. Take note of the MIDI channel assigned to each track since the seq tracks in the Kronos must be assigned to the same MIDI channel.
3. Then set the MIDI CLOCK to INTERNAL.
a. Press GLOBAL button and touch “P1: MIDI”.
b. Change “MIDI Clock” to “Internal MIDI”.
c. Touch top right corner and select “Save Global Settings” and “OK”.
4. On the Kronos, check off “Multi-Rec” in the top right and change all the tracks you are recording to from “Play” to “Rec”.
5. Then check the MIDI channel to each track in the Kronos, match the MIDI channel of each track in the Triton.
a. On the Kronos, touch the “Track Parameter” tab and the “MIDI” tab.
b. Make any necessary changes to the MIDI channel of each track so they match the MIDI channel of each track in the Triton.
6. Change the Tempo on the Kronos to match the BPM Temp of the Triton
7. Adjust the mix volume of each track on the Kronos to approximately half volume
8. Press PLAY and RECORD on the Kronos and PLAY on the TRITON.
9. Rename the MIDI tracks – to Triton Program Names
10. Once the sequence has been recorded in the Kronos, assign new programs to each track. Hopefully your track naming conventions will assist with this process.
11. Save to Disk

**TIP: Increase the tempo to reduce transfer times

I have saved to floppy on triton as smf and loaded into kronos with ext usb 3.5 drive and had success this way also
