    Cubase SX3 and Triton Rack

    Is anyone using this combination? I have just acquired a used Triton Rack
    and am slowly struggling up the learning curve.
    I have managed to get a patchscripts set up and after a bit of tinkering
    with the msb lsb values I can now select the Triton sounds from Cubase.

    My main hurdle is to figure out how to get the Triton set up in
    mulititimbral mode so that I can select programs(which are the basic sounds
    plus effects etc) or combis(combinations of more that one program) rather
    than just the basic sounds which is what I am getting at the moment when in
    multi mode.

    I am reading that you can create 'multis', a multi being a set of 16 sounds
    (one per midi channel) by copying combi or programs into the multi. You can
    create upto 200 multis.

    I am wondering if it is possible to download this work from somewhere as
    opposed to spending time creating the multis yourself (instead of
    creating....trying to create music).

    The other question I have is how best to set up 2 controller keyboards to
    play the Triton at the same time for live use. (With my Proteus 2000 it was
    a piece of cake as it has two midi ins, 16 channels each effectively giving
    me 32 midi channels)

    Thanks

    Re: Cubase SX3 and Triton Rack - Ignore if you don't use the Triton

    Figured it out by accident rather than anything else.

    On the rack I used the utilities load multi function to load up one of the
    given multis (R & B).

    With this loaded, in Cubase with the midi out set to Delta AP Midi (the midi
    out from my ap2496 which is connected to the rack) simply selecting the
    channels 1 to 16 resulted in the program or combi assigned to that channel
    in the multi being played. Great so now I can select one of 16
    programs/combis preassigned to those channels - still a bit limiting.

    I then experimented setting the midi out to my Triton patchscript and tried
    selecting instruments from this - what do you know, I can now select any of
    the instruments and I can hear the effects.

    I suspect the effects I am hearing are probably whichever ones are preset in
    the multi.

    I have still to figure out how I would select a combi rather than a program.

    But al least I can now use the rack in multitimbral mode and being able to
    select programs with effects etc. and it is now coming some way up to
    expectation

    Another bit of the puzzle unfolds - If only manual writers would write them
    by giving the modules to real testers and then include answers to the
    questions they raise, BEFORE SELLING THE EQUIPMENT, then we could spend the
    time making music instead of solving puzzles!
