I can't quite seem to get sampling working on my Triton Extreme. I know I'm getting a signal into it, because I can trigger the ADC overload warning, but the record level meters show nothing.

My setup: Mic plugged into Mackie Onyx 1640. Aux send 1 goes to Triton in 1. Master gain is turned up, master send 1 knob up, send 1 knob on mic channel is up. Whether I have the Triton set to line or mic doesn't change anything.

Perusing the manual, but it looks like I shouldn't need to do anything more to get the signal to show up in the meters on the Triton's screen in sampling mode.

Aha. I used the auto setup and then you have to *drum roll* press the record button before a level will appear in the meter.

Yeah. Cool

But! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

What's the deal with saving samples? I don't see a way to save samples except to external media (I say this keeping in mind the manual is not an easy read). Convert MS to program doesn't save the actual sound data. I don't have a flash card, and I'm NOT going to load sample data every time I want a patch I created from a sample.

I HAVE to be missing something. There HAS to be a way to save my sample on-board, just like any modern, competent sampler does. No way is Korg THAT retarded.

Off the point of my own topic, but holy hell! Google picked this up FAST! This thread was the fourth link down.

Did you check if the answer is there? Wink


Doh! I posted in that thread, not this one!

From the Korg product page for the Triton extreme it looks like the internal RAM is not battery backed up and that all samples have to be save to external CF or microdrive

Hopefully you will be able to play them direct from this drive, rather than have to load them into the internal memory first

Yeah. I caved on my threat against never loading samples. Razz

So I'm looking for a micro-drive. According to the manual, I can do the most with a MD (more than a CF or HD). Any recommendations on a brand/model? The manual says max=1GB.

I'd be surprised if the manual doesn't offer suggestions, most stuff I have that uses SD or CF cards has a list of cards that are known to work

Not that I could see. They left it very general. I'll email my contact at my local supplier. He's pretty knowledgeable.

Try here: Triton Extreme Drive Compatibility

The Sandisk Ultra II CF 1Gb card is fairly inexpensive & should be pretty easy to find

Never used a Micro-drive so can't help you there I'm afraid

Thanks! I see that the Triton takes 2 GB cards with OS 1.05, which I have installed.

I want to buy from Amazon through the affiliate link and thus support electro-music, but I'm confused about the price.

http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Compactflash-SDCFB-2048-A10-Retail-Package/dp/B0000DD7PE/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1253305862&sr=8-21

This is $40.

http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Sandisk-SDCFB-2048-2GB-Compact-Flash-Card/2549159/product.html

This is $16.

Unless the one from Amazon is a pack (and I only want ONE, anyway), WTF?

Amazon isn't always cheaper

If you get the other you could always make a donation to electro-music.com via Paypal Smile

Does the Ultra II work with the Extreme? I didn't see it in the list Korg put out.

The 1Gb Ultra II is listed, can't say for sure if the 2Gb one will also work

but then the list only includes cards up to 1Gb so may be out of date if a later update allows the use of 2Gb cards
