To Jordan: Organising songs w/ Triton Extreme

[Bruno_Sa]

Hullo there Jordan and folks.

It may seem a bit preposterous to address a question directly to Jordan in my very first post. In fact I've been lurking here for years, just occasionally watching the movement. and as I couldn't manage to find my query anywhere in this forum, here I am! :)

Anyway, the question is:

Jordan, as far as I know, with the K2600 you could load your patch sequences from blocks of songs. You had a "Pull Me Under" folder, containing all necessary patches - everything already in order. So you would simply load it up. The same for "Metropolis" and each and every song. It was just a question of deciding the setlist and loading these song packages in order. Am I right?

But how could you manage to do it with the Extreme? Since the smallest unit for Loading/Saving is a Bank, the only way I see of doing it is by loading patches to a certain Bank, and saving one by one in on order in another Bank. And doing this procedure to each and every song, which is way more painful.

Thanks for the attention.
If any fellow member of this forum feels like solving this question, I'd appreciate as well.

you know, i used to think the same thing. HOWEVER~~while you can only save a full bank, you can load individual programs/combis! i've owned a triton for almost 5-6 years now, and i figured this out about 2 days ago, literally.

SO--make all your combis in one bank, then save that bank to disk. when it comes show night, pop that disk in, and keep using the "open" button to go from the .pcg file to the combinatin folder to the bank folder and finally to the actual list of combis. the manuals are misleading about this, but you can keep using open to get the list of combis. then you can use "Load Selected" and it will allow you to pick any combi location to write them to.

the only limitation is, i don't think you can do any sort of multiple selection like using * as a wildcard or something...you'd have to do it one combi (or program) at a time...but it does let you do what you're talking about.

hope this helps

Thanks for your reply, Jeff! :)

I was wondering if we could simultaneously load several combis in order, as if it corresponded to a whole song, and append them to a designed location, like "CombA46". I´m proposing the same thing we can do with samples, you know.
Yeah, definitely we can do it one by one, but is this what Jordan does? Man...each of his songs contains dozens and dozens of patches. There must be some other way.

Hey, What about the Motif? There isnt a disk :frown: This would make life Hella-easy!!!

jordan has a key tech :wink:

...but, if you're not willing to hire someone full time to do stuff like this, i'm not sure there's really any other way around it. one approach i use (since i'm often too lazy to re-load in combi's for a show) is simply memorizing the first location of a song. so i know if it's Song "A," it's D008 for the first patch, then i have the rest in order for my foot pedal. you could also write the first patch for song on your setlist for the night. just some suggestions

Maybe there's a way to solve this using a labtop - I don't know the Triton but newer synths often have an usb-connection to edit patches, I'm sure you can do some organizing with it too.

BTW, Jordan uses an Oasys on stage, there might be some other options again ;-)
