What Does TritonLib Do?
I recently bought a couple of ROM expander boards for my Triton. In order to use the sounds on these boards they came with PCG files containing Programs and Combis filled with new sounds. What Korg had in mind was that I would fill bank C with the sounds that use one board, and I would fill bank D with the sounds that use the other board. There are a couple of problems with this approach. I really liked some of the sounds in my existing bank C and D. And when you load these banks they reset banks A and B to the original factory settings. I had a group of my own Programs in bank A that were overwritten when I loaded the new sounds (I knew this so I saved my sounds first).TritonLib provides a convenient way of taking Combis and Programs from different PCG files and assembling your favorites into a single PCG. But beyond this, I have found it very helpful to put together PCGs for the different artists I work with. When I record with an artist I add the sounds I use onto a PCG file I keep that has all of the sounds I've used with the artist grouped together. I load this file before doing a live performance with the artist, and I always have all the sounds the artist likes at my fingertips. Plus I never overwrite a sound they liked and end up arriving at the gig without it.
Also TritonLib allows you to compare sounds that exist in different PCG files to see if they are the same. If only the name is different, TritonLib will tell you that, and it will tell you approximately how many parameters differ between the two sounds. TritonLib can compare Programs, Combis, Drum Kits, or Arps.
TritonLib can also generate a report text file that lists all the contents of a PCG file. It lists the names of the individual Programs and Combis along with their Category and Tempo, and the names of Drum Kits and Arps as well as whether the file contains Global data.
Now TritonLib can edit the name, category and tempo of Programs and Combis. It can also edit the name of MOSS Programs, Drum Kits and Arps.
More features are planned for future releases of TritonLib. Stay tuned!
