Storage options for my Korg Triton Pro (USB or SCSI)
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2020 7:22 pm
Hello,
I've been using my Korg Triton Pro 76 key model as my main Midi Controller for the past 4~5 years and then very recently, I found out the true power of this beast. Customizing Combinations and uploading custom PCG files through MIDI cable (sysex) opened a whole new world for me and now, I really wanted to explore more.
Then, I decided to have a go at 'sampling'.
Turntable, line out, connected it back to Triton and successfully recorded 5 secs of string sections.
I was noodling with it, key-mapping, converted it into Program and tweaked a little to make it sound more ambient. Fun, fun! So powerful (because MPC lacks keymapping option only up to 16 zones...).
But........
I was not able to save the program... well, technically, I could save the program's parameter settings (?) but NOT samples... I needed a storage option...
I went onto Google, searched about it for a day, and found out I could replace my floppy drive with USB-emulator.
Ordered one cheap on eBay.
But then, again, 1.44mb limit per virtual disk could be really inconvenient.
I went back on google again and found out about SCSI-flash drive mod (not so sure if this is possible or relevant these days)...
So, my question is,
I would really like to explore more on my Korg triton pro,
a) Trying out free custom patches on the internet, loading it up easily through the disk option
b) Saving my custom patches and banks without limit
c) Saving my sample-based patches without any limit
What WOULD be the best bet...?
*my Triton has no SCSI expansion, unfortunately.
Um. I guess the real downside is, USB emulator, limits the virtual floppy drive ONLY up to 1.44mb... (I did not know this...) That IS really small capacity for reasonably recorded samples... my main purchase was exclusively FOR saving samples and sample-based patches fluently...........sigh
Anybody has any good suggestion or.. would this be the best I could get?
Thanks in advance you all.
(Sorry for the long writing)
