Published on 10/16/13 at 09:35The Korg Trinity V3 is one of the last variation of the series Workstation Korg Trinity outputs to late 90's.
- 61 keys with aftertouch
- 12 types of scale (major, minor, equal, Arabic, Pythagorean, Werkmeister ...).
- Summary ACCESS Trinity + synthesis MOSS Korg Z1.
- Sounds: ACCESS = 256 prog, prog = 64 MOSS.
- Combis 256 prog
- Polyphony 32 voices in single mode, 16 in Double mode.
- Sequencer: 80,000 notes, 16 tracks, 20 pieces .. Compatible SMF.
- 12 drum kits.
- LCD touch screen (320 x 240).
- 2 x stereo outputs. Digital output 8-channel ADAT-compatible option, look no USB!, MIDI connectors, pedals ...
External Storage: HD floppy drive (yes that date), ROM flash cards 8 MB SysEx. A direct-to-disk 4 tracks (with 354 MB) is optional.
- Pitch bend and modulation wheels, ribbon controller and two buttons configurable effects
The design is pretty neat and contemporary façade with brushed metal and touch screen, a bit heavy as all the old workstation.
UTILIZATION
Taking immediate and Main is made easy thanks to the touch screen and the touch allergic old touch virtually all major functions (BANK, COMBI, SEQ ...) are available on buttons. The menus and options are all displayed on the screen and the touch does not have too much latency especially on the V3.
Editing sounds is not very difficult because fewer settings on the new machines, consider backing up to disk, however, because the synth does not keep track of your mods.
The sequencer is easy to use that to go further you will need to manual that you can download in PDF format in English only. Personally I do not like too logical Korg especially mode either SONG or Pattern mode, I love As I built my curls to separate the different elements to listen live rendering and Touch n ' is not too suitable for that I prefer Yamaha is much more logical especially on such grounds or is on the keys ... but that's just my opinion.
SOUNDS
To the sounds is very different although somewhat limited compared to today's bikes but it is not too much of a disadvantage when we know that sounds too wasted a lot of time. The overall tone for BANK 1 and BANK 2 are not too bad there are the classics, for pianos is void against the against the electros are much better, a few drum kits a little overwhelmed today, the strings are not bad ... but the Bank MOSS I must say is it's great for my taste the strong point and the main reason to buy this keyboard ... there is heat in the bank of 64 sounds. Combi mode sending not too bad and gives an impression of power and impact sounds (bass, leads, strings ...).
In short it is the analog of the late 90's very DANCE years, I have friends who make much Oriental and love this keyboard but you can make perfectly editable sounds and there is interest c is to improve the bank's factory!
OVERALL OPINION
In conclusion I would say to those who wish to purchase a first Workstation too expensive to turn to the most current products like Korg TRITON, M50 or above the Yamaha Motif, there is no USB port on the Trinity! For those looking to develop or sounds like the old bikes just ... it's a really nice machine and will blend seamlessly into your Studio or Home Stud ... for those who know the sonic potential of the Trinity and which does not necessarily have room I recommend the KORG TR Rack!
