Korg Trinity V3 is a touch keyboard synth type 5 octaves (61 notes) dynamic aftertouch sensitive. More than just a sound generator quality today (2013) admittedly a bit "cold" compared to what can happen with the Korg Kronos or Krome, it is nevertheless always present to some that there adds a tube preamp or a supplement. GPs are extra sounds, patterns Programs, Combi will be found (up to 8 programs at the same time as multi splits or layers) and the 16-track sequencer mode ultra intuitive. MOSS card (V3) is the perfect sound banks SYNTH. Unfortunately, it has little physical controllers to edit the sounds in real time. All played with the finger and the eye with the touch screen (very efficient, and never changed since 1998), the edit cursor or toogle.

UTILIZATION

The touch tape allows plenty of sonic possibilities, however (such as opening moog filter type, or effect send, or increment in sound layer) The pitch and modulation are operated by the joystick with a Korg Action + / - and interesting especially on the editing assignment to -. Sw1 and Sw2 are used to activate effects, other .. As a workstation, but also a true Midi controller (*) is provided with conventional connectors Midi In / Out / Thru (no USB), Audio L / R outputs Sub1 and Sub2 + + + Switch Damper And ... for reasons of Live and accurately Direct-to-Disk, I installed the card to HDR-Tri offers more In / Out SPDIF AUDIO + In + Port SCSi. I do not use editor PC or Mac edition keyboard enough.

I could enjoy different workstation Korg keyboards and I can honestly say that the ergonomics of the Trinity is a model of its kind. Easier it is hard. But that does not mean it should not be a time to put the nose in the engine. To put it simply, I never opened the manual except for the installation and use of the card HDR-Tri

SOUNDS

The sounds are sounds KORG. Lovers understand. The sound generator Trinity gave birth thereafter Triton Pro and Oasys which was inspired, remains to this day a sufficient tool for anyone who wants to play or compose music Pop-Rock, Classical, Metal , Film ... Obviously critics say "Yeah but the Korg M3 or Kronos is better ...". Yes it's better! Fortunately, and this is better! because there are 18 years between the Trinity and the Kronos. (I refer to this model because in both cases they must represent the Korg at a time T)

Nevertheless, the Trinity is still the "heart" of my home studio. It is always my tone generator "standards - general" supported by an E-Mu Proteus. I have other machines or softwares for other types of sounds. The rating given to the sounds into account the age of the Trinity V3. And despite its appearance "Veteran" of workstations, I still put him 8.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Trinity since its launch: Trinity Pro X 88 keys, then a Trinity Plus (with Solo card) 61 ratings for reasons of travel, and then passed through Trinity V3 equipped with a card HDR-Tri for direct-to-disk allowing me to overcome the South and Backline on stage. I regret not having found a PBs-Tri (Sample). I have tried many keyboards Roland or Yamaha, Kurzweil K2500 and only its big brother the K2600, have challenged me in the sound quality and the native look and feel to the brand. But by far, by far, is what Korg is more intuitive and ergonomic (I love Kurzweil and also E-mu sound :)). How many times I thought change workstation? Whenever Korg has released a new version .. But I never changed, considering that I would lose the exchange. And I think I have done well. The Oasys liked me, but the company Tekram sounded the death knell of this great synth by stopping the production of chipsets. Only Kronos X-88 challenges me but the entry ticket is therefore .. So I made the choice to acquire in addition to my Trinity V3 one of the best banks in general sounds that is currently on the market, combined with a partition editor, the bank sounds Avid Sibelius 7 is a fantastic keyboard Korg Trinity V3 this supplement that seems ad vitam eternam want to establish itself as one of the most reliable and most efficient workstations. There are now Trinity V3 for 3 or more in (I hear but when you consider that this keyboard was worth the equivalent of € 3K (+ 20,000 Francs) at its output, we say that 300-400 euros is given.
It is only my humble view.
