How to Record a Sample on the Korg TR

In order to get audio into the Triton Le/Rack or TR, the Audio inputs have to first be turned on.

To do this we’ll enter the Sampling mode:

1. Press the Sampling button to enter the Sampling mode.
2. Press the Menu button
3. Press the F1 button “Rec” on the screen.
4. Press the F8 button “Open” on the screen.
5. Press the F3 button “In/Pref” on the screen.
6. Using the cursor arrows, select the “off” parameter to the right of “BUS: >” for Input 1.
7. Using the value wheel, or INC/DEC buttons, change “off” to “L/R”.
8. Using the cursor arrows, select the “off” parameter to the right of “BUS: >” for Input 2.
9. 17. Using the value wheel, or INC/DEC buttons, change “off” to “L/R”.

At this point you can input your microphone or line signal to the audio input(s). Make sure to set the
line/mic switch to whichever one you are using. Now, we can adjust gain and record a sample:

10. Press the F2 button “Recording” on screen to return to the sampling area.
11. Press the Rec/Write button.
12. Talk into the mic, or play your audio source and look at the level meters on the lower right hand side of
the screen.

Make sure the levels aren’t clipping. If they are too loud it will say “ADC Over!” If you need to
adjust the gain, you can do so with the input gain knob on the back of the unit near the inputs, or, you
can also touch the Recording dB level indicator on the bottom right hand side of the screen and
adjust it with the value slider, knobs or dial. Once you have desired level:

13. Press the Start/Stop button and play your sound source or speak into the mic.
14. When you have finished recording, press the Start/Stop button again.

You have just created your first sample. You can hear the sample by touching the keys noted in the
“Original Key” and “Top key”, and all keys in between those.
