If you are referring to the Kronos, you can rearrange all the progs/combis as you wish and/or use the setlist mode instead and keep the progs/combis as they are. About the Kronos LCD screen, I have never read about dead lines so it is certainly not common at all. But of course some reported other problems with their Kronos screen. Those components are discontinued so now hard to find. About the Kronos screen angle, on a stock unit you cannot tilt it. I did a screen mod on mine (see sig), but it is very rare.HUBA wrote:1.

2. Are dead lines in the display common/likely to occur with these? Is the display replaceable? Is it readable from an angle through contrast adjustments or would I have to face it in a straight angle in order to read it easily?

Sorry, was referring to the Triton. I know this is the Kronos sub forum but I didn't really think the questions warranted a new thread. Also the Triton sub forum seems to be uninhabited.KK wrote:If you are referring to the Kronos, you can rearrange all the progs/combis as you wish and/or use the setlist mode instead and keep the progs/combis as they are.

-Not sure about the display viewing angle. I have Triton Rack and don't recall this being an issue.HUBA wrote:As I made the silly mistake of assuming Korg couldn't possibly leave out the Triton sound set from their otherwise superior next generation workstation that I've recently acquired I've been contemplating getting a Triton rack to go with the Kronos just for the sound set, and so in an attempt to avoid making yet another silly mistake I got the idea to ask a couple of questions first:

-Managing Programs and Combis is a matter of jockeying them by writing them to available empty locations. The documentation for the Triton should be available at Korg's website. It will have the details. PCGTools is an option, but you'll need a 3.5 inch floppy drive on your computer to load the data into the app. There are replacement storage options available in the form of compact flash but that's a financial investment. Might be some USB options but you'll have to search that on the web.

Thanks for the reply. I see. There's some limited amount of empty space for user programs but none of the original programs can be deleted or even rearranged(?)ronnfigg wrote:-Not sure about the display viewing angle.

I'm fine with investing in extra memory if needed. I'll check out the manual for further details.
Any of the Programs/Combis can be deleted or rearranged. It is done in the corresponding Mode's edit page, not in Disk Mode. When you edit a patch you can "Write" it to a new location in the Page Menu Commands. Then you can save the PCG in Disk Mode. I used to do this on my TS88 all the time. It's how I made a kind of "set list". If you use PCG Tools you can rearrange Programs/Combis, save the PCG (on your computer/floppy) and then take it back to the Triton and load it there. But that would require a floppy disk and the associated drive on your computer. Check out the Triton documentation for detailed specifics on Disk Mode and Writing patches in Program/Combi Mode.

Wow, it's more flexible than I dared to hope for. The more I learn about the Triton the more impressive it becomes. All these years I dismissed it because it wasn't a "real" synth with lots of knobs and sliders.ronnfigg wrote:Any of the Programs/Combis can be deleted or rearranged.

Released in 1999. 24 years old and a feature set on par with and in some instances even beyond what new workstations offer. That's crazy. And sad. Makes you wonder what could have been possible today with the same type of mindset.
