Korg Triton/M3/Kronos Preferences

Type
Selects whether you convert to Triton, M3, or Kronos 2.0. (Kronos version 1 is not supported as the update from version 1 to version 2 is free.)

Combi Bank
Translator, when converting files into the Triton/M3/Kronos format, creates a .pcg file contains a Program Bank (with 128 Programs) that loads into Bank E. It also may contain a Combi Bank, if deemed necessary. On the Triton Rack it's convenient to have this load into Bank E, but the Triton Keyboard does not have Bank E. So an option is given you which Bank you'd like the Combi's loaded into.
Default: D

Program Bank
Default: E

Parameter Tolerance
The Triton/M3/Kronos has a narrow sound structure in which to fit things into. For a fairly complex instrument, Translator may have to make lots of .kmp files, and most critically Programs, to adequately distribute the objects so they can have their own parameter set.

For example, if you have a drum kit to translate, and say that each drum component is panned to a different spot in the stereo field, Translator will have to form one Program for every two waves - because the Pan control is not in the KMP file; it's only in the Program. A Combi will likely be formed, and since a Combi can only handle 8 Programs, you will run out of space quickly.

This parameter handles problem situation like this. On higher values (50%), parameters like Pan are rounded together so this slight compromise will result in many waves occupying one KMP, instead of them having to be separated.
Default: 0%

Go To Comparison Options button
Takes you to the master Comparison Options area (under Options). This is Parameter Tolerance from a different angle - on a parameter set basis, you can choose to ignore incoming values when it comes to comparisons. The Parameter Tolerance value is applied to those parameter sets that are not ignored.

Use Korg Naming Conventions
Korg, in the Triton/M3/Kronos manuals, describe how they names their .ksc, .kmp, and .ksf files. It's generic, which is nice for organization, but they aren't descriptive.

If this is unchecked, Translator will use the actual sample names.
Default: Checked

Write to Triton LE banks
Default: unchecked

Velocity Grid
This averages incoming velocity ranges to fit a 16-part grid (out of 128 values). For example, a velocity of 5-90 will become 0-95, and 29-120 will become 32-127. This eases the pressure on the limited Triton/M3/Kronos format to acclimate staggered or unusual velocity ranges.
Default: Checked

Add Effect
There are 5 Effects to be added to any Triton/M3/Kronos Program or Combi. This section allows setting of these effects for your newly-created Programs or Combis.
Default: Checked

Effect Type - Wet/Dry - Global Effects Selection
Determines the default effect type that goes into all newly-created Programs/Combis, the Wet/Dry balance it has, and if it takes the value or uses the Global Effects option (in Options-Effects).
