| Can 1 zone of the Triton keyboard be assigned to play an external synth module as part of a Combi? I'm pretty sure it can, just wanted to check with the experts. Thanks. |

Yes. you need to route that particular zone's midi channel to "EXT" (external).
Press the [menu] button, on the screen select P2 edit trk-parameter, then on the MIDI page send
the zone you want to "EXT"... if it's a grouped channel or global channel "Gch"
it may require you to use a different midi channel.

| Perfect, thanks. That's kind of what it says in the manual but wanted to be sure. |

So,I tried this last night and wasn't getting MIDI sent to my external module. Was in COMBI mode and had a part set to ch4 with my module also set to receive on ch4. It seemed to work outside of COMBI mode but not while in a COMBI. At one point it was working but only with the Arpeggiator switched on.
Any ideas? |

It's working now. Just in case it helps anyone else, here's what I did.
If you have a factory reset unit there is a 'user Combi' in Bank D, 127. This seems to be the key to making this process work easily. I opened this and it has all 8 timbres set as 'Noisy Stabber', with all switched to 'off' except timbre 1. All timbres are set to play across the whole board.
I had a JU06 set to receive on ch2 and a Prophet 6 set to receive on ch4.
I decided to make it easy to remember and use the timbre in the Combi to match the MIDI channel of the receiving module. So, timbre 2 set to 'EXT' and on the track edit page set the MIDI channel to 2. Then, set timbre 4 to EXT and set the MIDI channel to 4. Now I have both units playing layered across the whole board. I then used the edit keyboard zone page to set the lower octaves to the JU06 and the upper end for the Prophet.
All worked great, so I saved it as a Combi (called JU/P6 split or something like that) and saved it. Importantly, I DIDNT OVERWRITE THE BASIC USER COMBI IN D127. Sorry for the caps but I think it's very, very useful to retain a nice basic Combi as this seemed to help in getting this done. So I overwrote D126 which was nothing special.
So, there it is. I'm now going to repeat the process and set up a group,of combis to allow me a lot of different options with my setup. |

That's too much work for so little gain..
It's easier IMO to simply raise your hand & play a top or a lower keyboard (controller).

I agree with that but as you can see below I liking having my modules on top.
It's working nicely now. |
