 About this manual
How this manual is organized
This manual explains the new features and functions that
have been added in the TRITON Studio operating system
version 2.0, and the improvements that have been made
over earlier versions of the operating system.
Sequencer mode, Disk mode, Global mode, Sampling mode,
Combination mode, and Program mode are each covered in
separate chapters, and functions that apply to more than one
mode are described in the chapter entitled “Other new func-
tions.”
The information in this manual supercedes the original
“Basic guide” and “Parameter guide” included with the
TRITON STUDIO. Using the conventions listed below,
annotations have been made to show where additions and
changes need to be made to the Basic and Parameter guides.

Customers who purchased a new TRITON

STUDIO with system version 2.0
If you purchased a new TRITON STUDIO with system
version 2.0 already installed, first read the Basic Guide
and Parameter Guide to understand basic operation and
functionality. Then read this Version 2.0 Update Guide.
Since this update guide also describes improvements
made since system version 1.0 (“Sequencer mode – other
updates” (☞p.44) as well as the new functions added in
version 2.0, you will need to read it in conjunction with
the Basic Guide and Parameter Guide.

 Introduction
While the system is being updated, do not touch any
Installing the system switches or controls on the TRITON STUDIO and never
turn off the power.
You can update your TRITON STUDIO system to Version
2.0 via the internal floppy drive, by loading TRITON STU-
DIO Version 2.0 operating system files from DOS-formatted
floppy disks.
If you are using a system is earlier than version 2.0.0, follow
the procedure described below to install the “TRITON STU-
DIO Operating System Version 2.0” system files (five 2HD
MS-DOS format floppy disks) into your TRITON STUDIO.
* The system software version is shown in the lower right
of the LCD screen when you turn on the power.
To obtain the “TRITON STUDIO Operating System Version
2.0” system files, please contact your local Korg distributor.
You may also download the files from the Korg website
(http://www.korg.com/downloads). Updating to Version
2.0 requires five floppy disks. When creating disks from the
downloaded files, be sure to copy only the contents of the
downloaded folders to the disks, and not the folders them-
selves.
When you update the system, all data in the internal
memory will be initialized. If the internal memory con-
tains any data you want to keep, use “Save All” or
“Save PCG” to save your data before you update the
system. (☞BG p.60, PG p.166)

Updating the TRITON STUDIO operating system

You will need five 2HD MS-DOS format floppy disks con-
taining the “TRITON STUDIO Operating System Version
2.0” files.
1 While holding down the TRITON STUDIO’s [ENTER]
key and [LOCATE] key, turn on the power.
2 The LCD screen will indicate “Please insert System 1
disk.” Insert the “O.S. Version 2.0 - Disk #1” disk into the
floppy disk drive.
3 The system will automatically begin loading, and the
LCD screen will show the following messages.
“Now loading...”
“Now erasing ROM”
“Checking the system’s check sum”
4 The display will indicate “Please change to System 2
disk.” Remove disk 1 and insert “O.S. Version 2.0 - Disk
#2” disk.
5 The same messages as in step 3 will be displayed, and
then the display will indicate “Please change to System 3
disk.” Remove disk 2 and insert “O.S. Version 2.0 - Disk
#3.”
Repeat this until “O.S. Version 2.0 - Disk #5.”
6 After loading the final disk, the following messages will
appear in the LCD screen:
“Checking system’s check sum”
“System load was completed”
After the update has been successfully completed, the
TRITON STUDIO will re-start using the new operating
system.
If a disk error occurs during this process, remove the
disk and turn off the power. Then try the update pro-
cess once again, starting from step 1.

 About the audio tracks
The audio tracks used by a song (Audio Track 1, 2) are a single stereo WAVE file that is created by recording in synchronization
with the MIDI tracks + master track.
Audio track 1 is the L channel of the stereo WAVE file, and audio track 2 is the R channel.
When you record or edit one track (or any portion of a track) this entire stereo WAVE file is modified; it is not the case that sepa-
rate WAVE files exist.
This means that an unrecorded track or region of a track will contain data with a waveform level of “zero.” In other words, the
size occupied by the stereo WAVE file is the same whether or not recorded data exists.
Some examples are shown below to illustrate this. These examples will help you use the HD Audio Track function and your
hard disk space most effectively.
1 For this example we will assume that the song is 16 measures in length. From the initial state of the song, suppose that you
record guitar on audio track 1. A stereo WAVE file will be created. The length of the stereo WAVE file will be the length from
the beginning of the song to the location at which you stopped recording. The unrecorded audio track 2 will also occupy
space on the disk.

2 You record a guitar solo in the latter half of audio track 1, ending at measure 16. The stereo WAVE file will be updated as
shown in the diagram. The stereo WAVE file will now extend the full 16-measure length of the song. Unrecorded (silent)
regions also occupy space on the disk.

Open button.

1. Preparing to record an audio track

The audio track data that you record is saved on the internal
hard drive as a WAVE file.
Before you record, you must create a directory (folder)
where you will save the WAVE file and song data (.SNG)
that will be created when you record the audio track.
When song data that includes an audio track is saved as
a .SNG file, the name of the WAVE file and the location
of the WAVE file are added to the .SNG file.
Certain actions (re-naming a file, copying a file to a new
location, etc.) can break the link between the song file 3 Use the page menu command “Create Directory” to cre-
