Types of Parameters
There are three types of parameters that can be found in the taktile/TRITON taktile.
Performance parameters
These parameters include tempo, key, scale and setup of the arpeggiator. These parameters will be
used during your performance.
Scene parameters
These parameters determine the behavior when you use a controller on the taktile/TRITON taktile. It
is possible to save 16 scene parameters into the taktile/TRITON taktile.
Having prepared the settings for each of your applications, you can select and use them in an in-
stant.
Global parameters
These parameters set up the behavior of the entire taktile, such as the velocity curve of the key-
board or the trigger pad and the brightness of the display.
The global parameters will be shared among 16 scenes.
In this manual, areas that are SHADED IN GRAY describe functions which are only
provided by the TRITON taktile. If you purchased the taktile, please disregard these
sections.

Global parameters
Velocity
Keyboard Velocity Curve ........................................... [Velocity Curve 1...8, Const]
This parameter specifies how the volume will change in response to the force used when you play
the keyboard. Choose one of the eight velocity curves, or set the constant value.
1 Heavy This curve requires you to play strongly in order toproduce an effect.
2 This curve is closer to the normal curve than 1.
3 This curve is closer to the normal curve than 2.
4 (Norm) Normal This is the typical curve.
5 This curve lets you produce an effect without having to play strongly.
6 This curve lets you produce an effect without requiring you to play even as strongly as 5.
7 This curve produces a fairly steady effect with little change for medium-strength playing.
8 Light This curve is flatter than 7.
Const — Velocity value is constantly fixed
TIP Curves 7 and 8 produce little change for medium-strength playing. However, these curves will
produce a great deal of change with softly played notes, so they may be more difficult to con-
trol. Choose the curve that is most appropriate for your playing dynamics or for the effect you
want to obtain.
Keyboard Const Velocity Value .................................................................. [1...127]
This parameter specifies the velocity value that will be transmitted when a velocity curve is set to
Const. This setting is useful when playing organ sounds.
Trigger Pad Velocity Curve ..................................... [Light, Normal, Heavy, Const]
This parameter specifies how the volume will change in response to the force used when you tap on
the trigger pad.
Choose one of the three velocity curves, or the constant value.
Trigger Pad Const Velocity Value ...............................................................[1...127]
This parameter specifies the velocity value that will be transmitted when a velocity curve is set to
Const.
Touch Scale Note On Velocity .....................................................................[1...127]
This parameter specifies a velocity of the note message that will be transmitted in touch scale
mode.

15
MIDI setup
Global MIDI Channel ..................................................................................... [1...16]
This parameter allows you to change the Global MIDI channel to match the MIDI channel of your
application.
MIDI Routing ............................................................................ [Controller, MIDI I/F]
Choose the behavior of MIDI IN/OUT connectors from the following two types.
TIP The TRITON taktile does not have a MIDI IN jack.
Controller When you use a controller on the taktile/TRITON taktile, MIDI messages will be transmitted to the
USB connector and the MIDI OUT connector. The MIDI IN connector is used for receiving MIDI
messages such as MIDI clock. You will choose this when you want to control external MIDI equip-
ment from the taktile/TRITON taktile.
MIDI I/F The MIDI IN/OUT connectors will be used as MIDI interfaces for your computer. You will choose
this when you want to to use external MIDI equipment from the computer.
TIP When using the unit with a USB-AC adapter, the controller In/Out jacks will function as Control-
ler In/Out, regardless of the MIDI Routing parameter setup.
MIDI Clock Source.......................... [Auto, Internal, External-USB, External-MIDI]
This is set up when you synchronize your application with the arpeggiator of the taktile/TRITON tak-
tile.
Auto When a MIDI clock is input from the USB connector (or the MIDI IN connector), it will function as
“External” automatically. When nothing is input, it will function as “Internal.”
Internal The arpeggiator will function at the tempo that is specified in the BPM parameter. You will choose
this when not synchronizing the BPM with your application.
External-USB The arpeggiator of the taktile/TRITON taktile will function in synchronization with the MIDI clock
from the computer connected with the USB connector.
External-MIDI The arpeggiator of the taktile/TRITON taktile will function in synchronization with the MIDI clock
from the external MIDI equipment that’s connected with the MIDI IN connector.
TIP This is effective only when the MIDI Routing is “Controller In/Out.”
TIP TRITON Taktile does not have External-MIDI.
Local Controll ............................................................................................... [Off,On]
Switches the local setting on and off.
Off With this setting, controllers such as the keyboard will be internally disconnected from the
tone generator section. This setting prevents notes from being sounded in duplicate when
the TRITON taktile is connected to a sequencer and the performance data is echoed back
from the sequencer. (Echo back is when the performancedata transmitted by playing the
TRITON taktile is re-transmitted back to the TRITON taktile from the sequencer.)
On Select this setting when you are using the TRITON taktile by itself.

16
Trackpad
Tap Click ...................................................................................................... [On, Off]
This parameter specifies whether the touchpad will function as a mouse click when you tap it in
trackpad mode.
Scroll Direction ............................................................................[Normal, Reverse]
This parameter specifies the scroll direction when you use the touchpad in trackpad mode with your
two fingers.
