Can anyone out there burn a chip of my prgm,comb,samples,etc. so that I don't have to reload my samples after I power down; kind of like replacing the internal memory ROM with a permanent internal. Or is there a way around doing this so the samples stay in everytime you power down? Some of the guys out there have heard of some pretty crazy things out there that musicians are figuring out how to do.

Hello, Monte.

No, you can't do that with Extreme.

How can i get my million now?

You are doomed to load .ksc each time you turn on your keyboard, but I don't see it as much hard as you do. You turn on, press load, stretch your fingers few times to warm yourself up and when you are done, samples are loaded. Nice handy time.

Well... actually you can.

There's two people on this forum who know how to burn EXB-PCM chips, but they are not telling anyone how it's done. Rolling Eyes

Regards.

Maybe because there is no autoload option on Extreme?

And obviously those informations about those magicians that burn chips are confidential so no autoload in the future too, at least not on Extreme.

Bah, who needs it anyway... Very Happy

Hi shrike.

Thank you very much, Sharp, very kind of you.

I know who wittid is, I read almost every section but am active only at few, so I know what does he do with "G. Entertainer".

I was afraid you would say something related to fact that Triton is old and getting those chips would be a big trouble.

But still, thanks for the info, at least now I know it can be done, but am a little late.

Time for loading samples isn't issue for me (when I set my boards it loads until I begin to play and I don't turn it off until the end), but when you mentioned it can be done, that intrigued me.

Thanks again.

To do it now, it would cost you around 500 Euro for 32MB Smile

Regards.

Sorry guys for opening such a can of worms, but I'm like the guy who mounted his Korg keyboard inside of an upright piano, if it can be thought, then let it be done. The guys in my band can't believe that the sounds I'm getting from this keyboard(Triton Extreme) sound so unbelievably real but at the same time they don't understand the concept that such a high end piece of equipment can't hold those KSC files permantely after a load. It's hard for drummers and guitar players to picture this in their minds. Thanks for all the info from all of you. I do appreciate all that you have given.
Let me ponder on the next idea,
Monte

It would be cool if we could put our minds together and figure this one out. I'm also a guitar player and I feed my guitar through my keyboard. The only way that will work is through sample. So I also have to program INFX and Valve Force to get my guitar processor (Line 6) to play. So that adds another 5 minutes of setup. My point is in a power down during live performance it can be quite embarrassing. We're too crowded on stage so its better to do without another amp on stage. When I worked for ADT we used to burn EPROM chips for the security panels on a regular basis. If one of us understands this process and how it works on this keyboard then why not explain the process to help better the realm of us who understand the process? Come on, whoever you are, can't you help better your fellow musician through this forum and explain this process?
No, now seriously, I wouldn't want to damage anything electronically inside the keyboard, but unless the chip was installed incorrectly, and now days an EPROM can only be installed one way, that can't really hurt the keyboard now can it?

Would there be another way maybe?

If the ram had a permanent power source then the volatility would not be an issue, similar to the application of a BIOS battery in a PC... I'm sure that while the RAM is sat doing nothing with the triton turned off then it wouldn't be too power hungry, and when the triton is powered on it could switch to the naitive supply.

Maybe it would be completely unfeisable, I certainly don't have a great knowledge about these things and doubt i could implement such a thing.... Just an idea guys
