Thanks for the input, but I need specifics. I figured setting up a velocity map would be done either in sample mode or in program mode, but I can't figure out how to do it (using the manual). I'll probably start a new topic and ask the question. Surely some Triton owners have been sampling like crazy and can give me some details. I did a few hours of sequencing on the Triton tonight and I do enjoy the sequencer (but I can't stand that it doesn't have a one-touch undo function, a "rehearsal" mode [although it may and I have not discovered it], and a key-triggered start to recording [what Roland calls "Wait Note"]). It definitely is a cool workstation, but I like the EXPANSION BOARD sounds of the XP synths FAR better (a matter of personal taste, eh?). Anyway, thanks again for your input, Arvon45.
