All user reviews for the Korg Triton Le 61

Everything has been said I think ...

USE

Post-M1 for 20 years, here the worst ctoie the best:

The worst:

- Complex Ergonomics (away from the purity aspect of M1 and its simplicity of use).
- Presentation (l o precisely the M1 was a superb finish and a very clean look), here everything plastoc 'low end.
- The touch keyboard is also down compared Monsignor M1 twenty years old (!!!!!).
- As for squenceur, it keeps no pattern or song in memory !!!!!!!! (Again the old M1 did !!).

The best: See below ...

SONORITS

... Is to say here:

- As mentioned above, post-M1 and practitioner Mtal (Mtal-indus and Mtal-Symphony), the M1 was somewhat limited in sound creation ...
- Here the sounds are powerful, thick and of uncommon quality in relation tablecloths (having a possd JX8-P, I was looking for its equivalent ...), tablecloths warm her following the rglages assigned to them (yes, those who criticize the Triton sounds should "put your hands in it" !!).
- Acoustic sounds them ... well we do it with acoustic instruments !!

The good slap and the surprise is this lack of coolness recognized M1 o analog tablecloths Arian and choirs were icy and become unbearable dsormais.

Interim progress on a large twenty years (he had a !!).

A little too typ electro or "techno" I got presets in its "boom-boom", but WYD sounds are very easy to reproduce (the original was also also the tablecloth which serves as Rammstein intro on "Ohne dich" ...) and other more beautiful than each other !!).

Short for my use on melodic intros and it is perfect, at least level sonorits ...


NOTICE GLOBAL

... Because apart from its sound, as evoked in chapter use is VERY dcevant!

Bought it a week ago for 350 euros unhappy, I keep it. But having put on sale for half my M1 I'll change my shoulder gun:
- Keep this Triton for its sound, and finally serve me via MIDI squenceur (even if it is mini-mini-level memory) and keyboard M1. For dimensions forcment you lose it!

Unless the SmartMedia rgle this problem of memory squenceur ...

Keyboard type:
Mine was a 61-key, but there are bigger, and also 1U rack (no keyboard so)

There are many sounds, all editable editing tool is very powerful. I would say that sounds though potentially very different register is in rather "clean", I mean, it's pretty hard to sound a bit Crados it leads dripping acid well in this area, although we can do it, I found it a bit limited. Also can be grafted an option sampler, sampler synth that makes it possible to come home with all kinds of high precision waveforms, samples of all kinds etc ... So from there the sounds are endless. It is rather in the synthesis which is not found really feel that can give a synth or analog modeling. It is a world quite different.

For controllers if I remember correctly, there are 4 knobs each with four assignable parameters including a. To play live and have maximum control over the sounds, plus a midi controller could be useful. That said, I live kind of talking "techno", I've never used triton keyboard for actually playing live, and in this regard I think it is also very powerful. There is also an assignable joystick X and Y which is nice.

Its sequencer is very powerful and accurate it's a real pleasure for the compo. A sequence can be assigned an effect and two master insert effect, the effect is of excellent quality.

There is also a mode "combi", in this mode you program a combination of sounds on the same keyboard by process areas can be programmed decay slopes for the mixture is soft and assign arpeggiator, c ' is a very powerful tool.

The arpeggiator, which can be used in all modes, including mode sequencer is also very comprehensive, it is almost a sequencer on its own, it has an interface for creating arpeggios even be no limit complexity, etc. polyphonic arpeggio.

In Sequencer mode, there are several ways to proceed. The traditional way of components or recorded tracks in the sequencer and replays its components just by pressing play. Or you can program "RPPR" (realtime pattern etc. I know too), ie we write patterns relatively short (usually because I believe that there is really no limit Anyway, then assigns these patterns with keyboard keys which will have the effect of triggering the pattern when desired, all synchronized to the clock twelve o'clock obviously.

Connectivity: Midi in out thru classic audio there is an exit right global left I think, and a headphone output, no separate outputs. You can connect a pedal, ribbon or other controllers

The new version (Triton TR) has a usb port I think, but on mine (triton LE) there was none.

Polyphony great, I do not even remember the limit, I never went that far, yet I love it polyphony!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very well done, the screen is large enough and editing sounds is very full.
The manual is also very complete, there are two volumes: the basic guide, rather basic and quick as its name indicates, and the parameter guide, a manual fully detailed all parameters, all menus, etc. all the possibilities. It is absolutely essential to have good read I think, if you do not want to miss out on the machine.

The sound editing is done very well after a period of grip, like any other machine I think ... It was a bit long for me because it was my first synth, but with hindsight I think it is rather intuitive and very user friendly.

SOUNDS

The quality of the sound that comes out of this machine is exceptional. Can produce very realistic instruments, and explore a wide variety of electronic sounds, and even infinite if you use the option sampler.

The expression on the keyboard is very accurate. On 61 key keyboard was rather light but still I found it very accurate (but I'm not a pianist), if you want a feel closer to a real piano keyboard, probably better to turn to models more like 88 keys ...
But even on the 61, everything works perfectly, velocity aftertouch, the joystick also very playful expression, etc ...

Sounds can be realistic if you want, or not, depending on the field that seeks to explore. But Newt is very good at making realistic instruments, sampler determines envelope values ​​very accurate and give a very good record.

The effects are really excellent, there are effects of all types, all very effective.

SCSI connection sampler allows for waveforms of exceptional quality, the drumkits are very good also.

I only regretted not being able to work the sounds in fat and acidity, as can be done with the genre Virus synth, or synth analog synth is generally quite clean and not at all is sufficiently "outrageous" for my taste, but that may be a deficiency for some can be an advantage for the other, so I still say that this synth can really get great sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for about 3 years I think I sold it to explore different sounds, I was looking more aggressive etc ... It happens to me now regret having sold, I have tried many other machines since he and I recognize some special interest. Especially in this clean sound that annoyed me at the time and I wish I could find the time today.

The value for money is very good, not to mention that it is currently much cheaper than what I paid at the time.

Maybe one day I repeat one, but if it happens I will opt instead for rack model, the keyboard is a little bulky for my taste. However I will not use that to supplement other machines. I prefer to use other types of sequencer most suited to live. The Triton does not permettai move from one sequence to another without stopping, it was a rather annoying anyway ...
But it's still a very good machine. A great value in its field. It has been proven.

I have used the Triton LE 61 a few times in a couple different studios. It seemed like a keyboard that was pretty popular years ago, but I think it’s a decent keyboard at best. There are a lot of other boards that are out that can give you way better quality sounds than the Triton LE. The LE just seems to be like a cheap version of some of the Triton sounds and everything seems to be watered down. The sequencer is ok and the on board effects are ok. Not really anything bad to say about them but when it comes to the sounds I have major complaints.


UTILIZATION

Gettins started is simple and takes not time to understand the basic functions of the board, the manual wasn’t needed and I havent ever seen one.


SOUNDS

The keys are good, nice semi weighted and they seem to work well even when playing melodies because they arent too heavy. But they still have enough weight to them that you wont feel like your playing with a cheap midi controller (because most midi controllers just have plastic keys). But the sounds just fell short to me because I own a triton board so I know what the Triton is capable of and I know what sounds they really have in them. I guess that’s why the LE is more affordable than the regular triton and the triton rack is because its missing the most important factor to me, the sounds. Most of us don’t purchase a keyboard just for the workstation. We can use our computers as a workstation if needed or if we want. We go out and spend money on these keyboards for the sounds and the ability to edit those sounds and make our own. You can easily change how the sounds will sound and make them your own but the quality of them over all as far as depth and warm just is a miss to me.


OVERALL OPINION

You can get this if you don’t have enough money to get the “real” triton boards. But you will get bored with this pretty quick.

I play a 76 key Korg Tirton, I have been playing keyboard for 12 years, 6 years for my church. I like Gospel music with a R&B/Hip Hop twist.

I bought my keyboard from Guitar center in Sacramento Ca, I realy like the feel of the board and the sounds are thick. I paid about $2,500 about 4 years ago.

The Korg sound is unique and very strong.
The touch screen was the newest thing out and Korg was the fist. Keyboards are made with lots of small plastic peaces under the hood. The touch screen saves the buttons from being pushed 10,000 times.

I don't like how you have to purchase other upgrade cards, they should come jam packed for $2,500. I don't like pre-recorded drum grooves they could be better

The quality is top of the line, the construction is good.

The new Korgs are awesome but a little high in price... Most gear is exspensive
the every day musician can barely afford new gear...

Help a brotha out!
I'm out

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought it in BNG Jakarta because TRITON used with lots of musician and i will use it for my music composing. I bought it with 18 million rupiahs or around $ 1,800.

I like Triton is because it is really neat to look. It’s so beautiful. The color, the shape, and the Touch screen. And also it is very futuristic. I have never seen futuristic keyboard like TRITON.
I like the effects that gives many inspiration and the sampler that makes DJ-ing more possible.
I think TRITON has a exclusive community, because there a lot of websites that give patches also you can exchange or share it.


It's so heavy and the touchscreen it's so sensitive. and the last one TRITON isn't user friendly. you must learn the system or read the manual first.

Perfect.

TRITON is very recommended to all musician. because it has all the musician needs.

I hope KORG release TRITON with Color Touchscreen LCD and many kinds of color like blue metallic or something funky.

The Triton LE 61 is made by korg and it’s a pretty good synth board. If has a nice feel to it when playing, and its semi weighted so you don’t have those heavy keys when trying to play melody lines.

UTILIZATION

Not easy to address as many parameters, but there are shortcuts to use such copy a Combi Max of 8 tones with their belongings the sequencer. We play in Multi REC and inspiration of the moment is your memory with drum, bass, solo and accompaniment.
A big advantage of the Model LE is that it is lightweight 7.3 kg and easy to carry, an additional asset for me playing solo but also in groups.


SOUNDS

Yes, good expressive sounds at the touch. Just tone down the sounds of piano ties that are not realistic and sound Korg M1. Fortunately with the extension Sampling Can I load sounds Pianos sounds sampled from a Steinway, but it's time to load ...
I like the sounds of Copper Plates, Strings, Synth Lead and rhythmic Combi (Fantasmagoria, Phases of Angels Talk of Galileo, Hidden Rhythm, Walk Street and many others)


OVERALL OPINION

I used this for a month, but had already tasted the triton using the micro x. I wanted a synthetic 61-toting a microphone and associated with X (which I did for 2 years) it makes me combi’s huge, connected to midi, synchronized with the tempo and the s2000 for piano sounds c ' is an excellent investment: the microphone is located at 250 x € hand, I've had my triton as new 250 and a second for akai s2000 for 50 dollars, well I have a large collection of CD Rom and have akai recovered full drives scsi cd rom and zip to anything ... but this little wonder has meant the world s for the price of a TR model.

The Triton is a good machine great.
I always buy non-standard synthesizers (eg the Wavestation in 1991)
I like things original, complex and original sounds.
It is not obvious to program, for me at least, but it's a beautiful machine.

The only major flaw is the sound of piano that sounds not great. But hey it does the seeker has to buy a piano.

Beware the day when thou shalt update of the bone, take only Smart media ....
Go to my website get information.

www.parici.be

Musically.

UTILIZATION

Publisher sounds very pleasant.
The effects are not bad at all. The only thing I pedal or in programming is the RPPR. Arpeggiator fun and interesting. The manual, or rather the three fasicules are very useful, but very thick and navigate you really take the time. Finally this is only for me.

SOUNDS

Piano not great, except ..... vintage electronic pianos are great
Against by the sounds and combis, super foot.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year, and combis are superb. Since I paid 1000 euros occasions, the price is TOP.
I regret not having the same sub and more because I pay office in addition to the PRO LE

CHARACTERISTICS Good gnrale this prix.Manque 1 or2 IFX for my taste.

UTILIZATION

Ncessite least srieux (it's a workstation). We train if you are beginners (like me), but once you understood the trick and we know the diffrent pages, a work use.The manual seemed clear complet.La Fast Fashion rhythms is binding -> use of a software recommends squenceur

Page management is sometimes slow, the lack of any clear flexibilitc'est a grate in MIDI studio machine.

SOUNDS

Trs property: guitars, tablecloths, some strings, organs, drumkits, sounds "electro"

A review and middle: The winds, choirs, pianos classic

The effects are of good quality but everything is relative ... (1 IFX, 2 MFX)

Rather for electro (dance, techno, and other most distinguished)

OVERALL OPINION

-Usage: 2 years
-Good QualitPrix ...
Slow-Systm
Good -... but a Triton keyboard (or other) vs prfrable if you can afford it.

General features interesting.

My 61-key keyboard and keyboard sucks! the keys are smaller than normal, so if I swear to you, take a ruler, measure the keys you will see that they are smaller! So how do you play correctly? I have large hands and I'm embarrassed!

The controllers are the pitch bend of korg is excellent.

The screen is adequate and not too complicated editing but sometimes to get excited before finding the right page (this comes with time).

For it is against light is very transportable.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is generous and you can do anything with. Sequencer, sampler, arpeggiator rhythm etc. .. The configuration can really do everything.

Editing sounds is easy, but sometimes you look before you get where you want.

For I repeat against the keyboard is too small and no one feels cramped, the keys are too small. Personally I put him in because of this expander.

SOUNDS

The sounds are great, although I prefer some of my Trinity V3. I find it too serious, and sometimes I find that the sounds are quite varied, they are many but they are similar.

There are many different style groove and techno and I'm starting to be bored! It could be something else.

OVERALL OPINION

Good machine in general, it lacks a real drive, a good keyboard. The sounds are good and the machine makes you want to play with.

Bte This is monstrous!
Gniaux sounds, the quality of the effects was breathtaking! Perfect for making electronic components. But ...
The problem that is the key few and small ...
Anyway, what the price you can not ask for more.

UTILIZATION

Trs trs simple to use and well done.

SOUNDS

The are are numerous and well made. Especially the appliances.
The arpeggiator is better than I sprait.

OVERALL OPINION

The report qualitprix is ​​the best I know.
was going to do six months I use it and it surprises me more ...
The problem that is the key ...

DO NOT MISS IT, it is worth seeing!

The Triton is a version of the famous Allgemeine Korg Triton workstation.

Thus, the heart of the Triton, namely the bank of 32 MB of basic sounds (over 800 samples) and the system of synthse HI (Hyper Integrated) is identical in all respects the original (as Karma parailleurs). This ensures, in particular, a compatibility patch (also some effects - see later) between the big Triton and the MODEL and, more importantly, the same sound quality!

on the other hand, there is an insert effect instead of 5, 2 gnraux effects and EQ on them are tjs Submitted. The sampler is not native, but is available as an expansion card - it's the only option. The Ribbon Controller is also t cut.

Difference found some other, less room for such patches, the quality of the touch keyboard, no touch screen (but is it a - ???), etc..

The brushed aluminum front team a notch graphics, lots of buttons and just 4 potentiomtres is trs 'clse'. It seems to be moving against the tide, surrounded by new keyboard more like the face of young teens that machines make music.

At the rear, there are 4 audio outputs (2 x Stereo), the traditional three MIDI connectors, jacks for pedals and sustain and expression. The power supply is ensured by an external tranfo.

UTILIZATION

Although one may think, these days, full of knobs that it is necessary to edit the sounds, the Triton Le is doing effectively. The notch graphics and software interface are property trs conus and relatively intuitive To create or modify its utmost desire.

For live, the fair prsence potentiomtres 4 (3 functions per button) and the absence of the Ribbon Controller does not make for powerful particulirement CONTRL sounds in real time. Fortunately it is possible to assign many features these four knobs.

I can not judge the Operating Your Sequencer functions, having never used.

SOUNDS

L o bt hurts, it's at the sound!

The sounds are, so to speak, gloves, grandiose. They push the crativit they dveloppent a feeling of well-being, power against the Machine. Although sr, all is not perfect and there for every taste. But probably everyone will find happiness.

Mode 'combination', which combines up to eight programs Layer or Split, and the double arpgiatteur adds to the pleasure of playing, 'patch' (read by the CRER sounds' and not play with jacks in modular).

Although the Triton The possde the same wave as his dad, it seems that the Sound Designer Korg sounds guided factory to a more 'Dance', while the rpondant other audiences. For fans of more traditional styles, it will then dive into the machine and edit new patches or simply Tlcharger the Internet.

OVERALL OPINION

The interface of dpouille potentiomtres, there is no possibility of expansion (except the sampler) and Ribbon Controller (DSOL more) ... are only dtails face the quality of its sounds, its effects, its arpgiatteur ... This machine dveloppe crativit and inspires the respect of its kind.

Some criticize the keyboard. Yes, it's lightweight and a keyboard seemed a bit 'cheap' - the same as the pitch wheel. But then there is the version 88 keys with touch heavy for the most demanding (and least flexible ... everything is matter of habit).

Let us not forget also that the Triton is the class of Workstations in the CATEGORY! So do not be confused with a true and synthtiseur esprer a same approach to bte!

In the Triton The résumé is to find the sound quality and possibility of edition of the Triton for a price much more affordable ... No more! But so is dj ...

Ainis, I suggre those looking for a versatile machine and user-friendly, powerful and simple. I suggre those seeking a high quality trs sound and who are tired of these grains typical of Roland or Yamaha (as recognizable). I suggre those who will use it mainly for its sound and its possibilities of publishing and of inception, but do not need a workstation hyper complte (although the Triton The dj is not bad in the genre). Last but not least, I suggre those seeking the best quality at the best price!

Not to be missed!

I TRITON October 6 It's all a keyboard that is leaving a more complete freedom to use rich.

UTILIZATION

The config is contrary to the opinion of MAC-MAN, very simple and perfectly structured. There are so many possibilities that a rich menu is obligatoire.Les banks of sounds are convenient to use, as well as split or effects. I do not already have the option sampling BOSS sampler.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very high quality sound on some banks, less on others. Sounds "traditional" are the best quality Roland (I also have a JUNO-D). on the other hand, care for the rest! (Sounds appliances, batteries, low ground ...). There by against the effects are much better quality than with a wide variety ROLAND. In short this keyboard is rather specific to certain styles of music but married, with perfection, with the sounds ROLAND. (For the game has two keyboards complementarity is exceptional ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Very good keyboard, cheaper (for the same product line) that ROLAND. But make sure the sonnorités appropriate for your style of play ..

- Keyboard 5 octaves mdiocre quality (but you can still play, even, do not EXAGRES)

- In terms of connectivity and controllers, it is not really for the price lss

- There are sounds in all styles, but it's true that the machine presets give the impression of a synth for techno. No no, it is gnraliste ...

- Regarding the aspect gnral there plastic and mtal, it is quite nice, compact and lightweight (less than 8kg)

UTILIZATION

It is easy enough to do basic manipulations. on the other hand ds you want edit one must enter the menus and submenus ... It plutt pretty much done once you took the time to understand. (For example to put a rverb: it goes on the sound, you press menu you select the submenu of the desired effect, and we chose an effect 52 57, then for each effects can be its own well rglages sr ...)

The manual is not very clear but until I have always found the rponse my questions in so yes it is quite sufficient and complete.

SOUNDS

The sounds are good trs (except piano which apparently does Designed with the keyboard keys).

It's true: a numrique rings, filters, blah ... gnraliste but for a keyboard, I expected no more. It is conceivable sounds trs Varis (the core samples are many and varied).

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be a year since I have it. I use little squenceur (just to save ides). Aside from the keyboard-that is the weak point, I'm glad trs. The ratio quality-price is unbeatable. And it is compact and lightweight, for RPET 'is the best!

Good keyboard, say anything (except for keyboardists who want a pro trs good touch, like heavy)
connectors compltes
sounds are fantastic properly
sounds pro trs

UTILIZATION

Configuration trs simple to use program
for the sequencer, the user manual is not very clear

SOUNDS

The sounds are incredible!!
ralistes, high quality ... have to say anything
raction good after touch

OVERALL OPINION

A report quality unbeatable prices properly
pro keyboard light for a great price

résumé: a box of travel for cheap

On paper it's tempting, especially with a sampling card. In truth, it sucks. The keyboard is rotten (too light), the overall look very average (all plastic) the number of knobs ridiculous (live menus poorly done ...), taking the sequencer and sampler head very very average. I even talking about the editing of sounds ... For those who want to make the composition with this thing, good luck. You will lose a maximum time for bullshit ...

UTILIZATION

Then again, it's far from simple. The menus are divided across the access is far from intuitive and you can spend an hour trying to set up a reverb just by looking where it goes. RTFM enthusiasts, have fun ...

SOUNDS

Argh! The worst of the worst. Sounds are fully oriented dance and piano are ridiculous, like all real instruments elsewhere. Obviously, the sound is too strong but good digital that's not supposed to be a surprise to a Triton ... For those who want to do in his commercial background, it's party. For the other, put a cross on the "synth". Ultimately, some rap personen which it may be appropriate despite the dance sounds. I have friends who TOURnet with it. After it is a choice in sound.

06/01/05: I touched on this machine yesterday, and argh. Frankly I had forgotten to say how the filters were bad.

OVERALL OPINION

In my opinion, avoid like the plague. For me this machine is a big commercial scam ... I bought there over a year and after one month, I will not touch already. Luckily I found someone who has taken over me. We'll say it was a youthful ... Now I have a virus

...

UTILIZATION

It is quite complicated for a beginner to understand how it works especially for the effects which it is a little mess ... almost too incomprehensible parameters. Even for a simple split is quite complicated, it is more dommge we can not do a combination, starting from 0, have to do this on its existing ... is not a shit when you just want desfois split a piano and an organ. Another weak point when using the existing Prog, you must manually reset all the effects to find the right sound, it does not take so much time but it's a bit heavy to force ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are pretty good but it depends on the use we want to do ... The pianos are good, the organs are not too mals but it lacks a good old sound of the Hammond organ. There are many Deson that sound rather techno, dance ... a little crappy. The brass are not great they clearly lack of realism!
So through the end ...

OVERALL OPINION

This synth is not as fabulous it to air but its price should not expect too much, there is still a reference and it is not so bad after all ...

Dj many opinions on this synth so let's brief:

Programs / Combinations / squenceur 16 tracks / double arpgiateur / RPPR /
sampler (EXB-SMPL board option) ...

UTILIZATION

APRs have possd (then sold) the M1, X3, I3, N1R now is the Trinton LE:

It gives me synthse and evolution of Korg workstations.

Do not ask hsiter a little note on his knees for many beginners to use the multiple functions of the synth and then once you have acquired the "logic Korg," he slips alone!
I easily found in "sequencer" my favorite pages "quantize" and "events" such as ...

I apprci the following new features in "programs": mode "hearing" which is playing a small squence of his choice to give themselves an ide mode and "catgory" which classifies the sounds THEME.
Also, the very latest version of the OS (1.5), enables new functions such as switching to direct a program or a combination of the squenceur with the following effects etc. ....
Speaking of effects: two effects inserts are not enough squenceur mode.
But what they f. ..... in Korg?

SOUNDS

Ben ... it's a Korg!

Many "hallucinognes ground." Ideal background music for a thriller or sci-fi movie!
Trs imprsionnant!

The rest is pretty plutt. Also nickel in organs, voice ...

I AIM sounds of piano and bass a little hefty, but they are even good when ...
We will try to make them self-same!

We must admit that some sounds are a bit of both BPS!
(Yeah had to take all samples at 48 Khz in 32 MB!)

OVERALL OPINION

For starters, it is gray mtal is cool, a change from black plastic.

Frankly, for the price, it's a great choice.

I really enjoyable trs t surprised. J'hsitais say that the Karma ....

CAUTION:
When you buy your Korg Triton, take right away with a SmartMedia card
as a termination of the synth squenceur memory retains nothing!

Then there are optional EXB-SMPL the map for the function sampler
Max 64 MB (2 x 32 MB), delivered in 16 MB). Terrible!
(But a bit old as Systm: SCSI, slower memory etc ...)

Namely:
KORG has since released the KORG Triton TR: the same and better!
And the Korg X-50: the same without squenceur ...

The Triton is primarily a compact keyboard and light to meet the buskers and less fortunate.

To provide an attractive price, Korg has made compromises and that starting with the manufacturing quality of the keyboard that is more like that of a toy than a full keyboard. It's been very "plastic" (the chassis is metal I can assure you).

Inside, however, there is a basic Triton with a bank's certe a little outdated but still very correct.
The sequencer is still there, it's interesting to have it at hand.
The sampling is optional and that's good because it's a bit pointless now unless it's just to load samples for the stage.

UTILIZATION

I was not too triturated in, so I will refrain from commenting on its internal use. It looks to me still quite "simple" (in Japanese simply mean complicated). I like the screen is too small compared to that used to be Yamaha.

The touch keyboard is frankly not great, it's hard to bring the expressiveness with.
Do with it like that.

SOUNDS

The sounds are not very exciting but still correct. There is a kind of artifact in the grave, that tickles the ears and say why not, it changes the neutrality Roland. Not surprisingly, the Triton will be pampered by the Hip-Hop.

The sheets are nice and easy usable, bass synths are great with this serious development. on the other hand I'm not a fan of sounds "fireworks" is fun at first but good after what we did?
The acoustic pianos are very bad, the electric pianos are ok, unfortunately the quality of the keyboard serves these sounds there.

The organ is just OK, let's say that next to a CX-3 they do not make the weight recess.
Other sounds are not bad but nothing too surprising.

I repeat again, the quality of the keyboard does a disservice to the expressivity of the Triton.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the Triton for 3 weeks. I exchanged against a Virus KC because he served me as a master keyboard, it was heavy and I wanted to change but I lost much in the quality of the touch keyboard.
As soon as I can, I offer a Clavia Nord Stage Compact.

This is a synth of compromise must be taken that way.

Keyboard Light, portable, compact and cheap, it is for musicians to funding not necessarily huge, but who wish to turn to a semi-pro gear. Being a fan of KORG, I recommend it to all those adventurers who like me are looking for a keyboard to have fun on stage and work very strictly at home. At that price ...

The 16-track sequencer may be a fair bit, especially if you have the habit of using only 8 tracks to your sequence of percussions, but it is usually enough to get a result up to your expectations.

UTILIZATION

For a regular KORG, use is intuitive and the handling is done in minutes. For others, it is very simple, and some days all you need to understand the basic principles of handling the machine.

SOUNDS

This machine is designed for electronic music, let it be said ... Try out a piano that captures, you will spend three days to finally give up! The guitars are also poorly made, and the strings are usually not very interesting. On the other hand, organs are excellent, as well as powerful leads, the deep ground, shattering synths, etc ... Percussion kits are quite interesting, but somewhat repetitive. Overall, it is better to avoid this keyboard if your thing to you, it's acoustic music. on the other hand, electro side is quite impressive.

Note the presence of a well-designed two-track arpeggiator, carrying a big hundred factory grounds. As for the sequencer, it offers a way "loop", which allows to turn to the controls in real time: 4 pots are available on the left of the screen, and this is where we begin to s' some fun on a live set ... Cutoff and Resonance of course, but also modules assigned to your liking. Some regret the lack of tape, but this assignment custom modulation in real time the complete lack in my opinion.

In fact, one can very well use this machine for quite other than his "normal" use. It depends on your imagination ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than three years, and as a student, I could have hoped for my budget. In addition, a synth as compact (and solid) that it is perfect for small trips between zicos. The value for money is excellent, especially since you can add a card or other sampler. Note also the backup to SD card, which currently sells for 6 euros for 1GB Surcouf ... Moreover, it is a little more than using the card format: just the once to buy a small module card reader for your PC (unless it embarks card reader X in 1), download the latest firmware updates and new sounds, and it is left for a new discovery!

It said everything I think ...

UTILIZATION

With M1 for 20 years, the comparison is clear:
Here the worst alongside the best.

Money:

- This plastoc ubiquitous and low-end Casio that does more than Bontempi Korg.
The M1 to finish and durability best laughs in the light ...

- The touch of the keyboard back from Môôseigneur M1, yet 20 years old!!

- The sequencer and sound ... ABSENCE OF MEMORY! Again the M1 kept everything, patterns, songs, and yet still 20 years old !!!!!!

- An intuitive overlooked compared to its predecessors ...

The best:

- See below ...

SOUNDS

... ie here!

Where M1 was completely dropped with its sounds flat and cold, Triton excels:

- The sheets are analog type of extraordinary beauty, and in arpeggiator adds another (sometimes awkwardly). JM Jarre lover, you're home!!
Very strong, it is these sounds that I take the big slap which I will keep!
What happiness for my intros! (Practitioner Metal / Indus Metal / symphony)

- Sounds bold, thick but well designed, not too typed, configurable in every sense (the guys who criticize the Triton sounds, put your hands inside!), It suffices to assay the effects reasonably.

- The acoustic sounds: bah they did ... with acoustic instruments!

- For "technomen" (not my case), it's happiness, the engineer must be friends with a great DJ?

OVERALL OPINION

In short, I'm going out my cover of his M1 to drive my Triton, and too bad for congestion, but at least his sequencer, even mini-mini-level memory will retain data controller keyboard, and touch the keyboard .. . Aahh!

Unless the SmartMedia card does this problem of internal memory forgotten by its creators ...

In summary, this machine sounds amazing, your creativity knows no bounds ...
... IF YOU DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER!

Digital Synthesizer 61-note from the family of newts (Triton, the Triton, Triton Studio, TR, Triton Extreme and also Micro X and X50)
4 program banks, 3 banks combined (128 each)
I think the polyphony is 64 ...
The keyboard is a little soft, but it didn't meant to replace a master keyboard heavy touch either ...

UTILIZATION

Super simple, it's korg so we benefited from the combination mode of adjustments, ie any fact which offer splis bass / piano, bass / tablecloths etc. plus the arpeggiator assigned to a drum loop, in short, everything is ready to play without avir nothing to program.
Editing sounds is more difficult than tactile newts, but the screen is the same as the TR and Micro x.

The sequencer can import the regulation of combination, that's top!

I've upgraded to version 1.5 os via windows media player 8 midi interface with a single audio m.
In fact my previous upgrade bones (for blofeld) had not gone well with the mac and had finally fonvtionné with windows media player, so J made directly by CETT emethode this time. it's long, 45 minutes, but it adds interesting features. I've also

SOUNDS

X5 (oldest) e a Micro X (latest) and I found sounds and beats with sometimes close to the X5 (combi sax heaven x5 from 08 of the 01W series, almost identical double reed ds newt and the micro x)

The combination that is found under the same name into the microphone and triton x on (and probably in the tr) sound almost the same but a little further in the latest models.

With regard to acoustic pianos, often maligned, I find model C01 not so bad. Certainly not as good as the Yamaha pianos from the grounds, but honestly I m knocking, I have what it takes for his pianos, and I love korg for its combination modes! I plug in a s2000 bought 50 euros on it with a piano sound a cdrom East West and its quiet good.

J likes the flat sheet. As often said, yamaha is better for acoustic sounds.
But I think it's a good machine live very spolyvalente finally. With a DI or better lamp has a péramp is recovered from the potato (which otherwise lacks a bit)

I prefer to also use an external effect.

on the other hand in multi considerably narrows the sound .... (As on my jv d elsewhere and like a lot of machines) ...

As J have already bcp machine I am delighted with this newt but SOMEBODY considering a first purchase, I recommend to clearly define its objectives. Yamaha motif declinations have better piano sound except for the case of mm6, which has rotted all converters. after, it is more expensive than a newt on. To see a Juno D, Roland is not too bad for the pianos and with good opportunities are WALKING ... but you will not No way combi or sequencer ....

OVERALL OPINION

I used the past week, but had already tasted the triton using the micro x. .. I wanted a synthetic 61-toting a microphone and associated with X (which I did for 2 years) it makes me combis huge, connected to midi, synchronized with the tempo and the s2000 for piano sounds c ' is an excellent investment: the microphone is located at 250 x € hand, I've had my triton as new 250 and a second for akai s2000 for 50 € ... well daccord J have a large collection of CD Rom and have akai recovered full drives scsi cdrom and zip to anything ... but this little wonder has meant the world s for the price of a TR-hand then yes I will ever illico choice ... but that is because my rate was excellent ... I had 400 euros n Will not buy not what THE ... Better than Paul

What type of keyboard (synth, piano ...)? How many octaves? What controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)? What connection (Audio, MIDI pedals ...)? How many sounds, effects? What styles? Are they edited? Via a utility Mac / PC? What polyphony? ...

61-key synth keyboard (be yes, The 61)
full of sounds and effects
1 joystick and + / - the same controls as the Triton grandpa except the touchscreen
connector has-been: smart media, which still uses this thing up to 128mb? In addition, it costs a mass to get these cards.
I use no computer with
polyphony of 62 notes
The construction is correct (although sturdy aluminum chassis), but both ends are plastic sea * ic. Very small keys, it is very cheap (it is a light version of the Triton anyway)
just insert an effect, as against 8 for the Triton I think, too bad.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple? Editing sounds and effects is easy? The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

nah, it's a synth, it's not simple, should examine the 200 pages.
the manual is indigestible, but it's nothing compared to newer models (thousands of pages for the Oasys apparently)
The edition .... I just change a few presets and squirm a little knobs.

SOUNDS

Sounds they agree with your style of music? Are they realistic? The effects are they effective and appropriate? The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch)? What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ...

yes, quite rock for me, so it should be (lots of groups have used)
expression is correct, apart from touching the keyboard really cheap (I got a Juno D was better)
The effects are effective (that is the highlight of Korg) but a pity that this version does not allow to accumulate more than two.
sounds: great for organs, violins, groundwater and atmosphere.
Piano really missed (that of Roland is downright better), but hey, I change it slightly by adding the resonance and reverb.
Otherwise, I'm still satisfied with sounds (that's why I sold the Juno D but I am sorry for the sound of piano)


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? What thing do you like most/least about it? Did you try many other models before getting this one? What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

used for over a year, I like the ergonomics of Triton, sounds to me more suitable than the Juno D (too clean, not enough Rock n 'Roll for my taste), the screen is bigger too .
The ratio Q / P? I almost buy it when I began harmony, I pulled over Roland half the price (500 against 1100) and sounds very realistic for the latter.
I had the Triton qques years later in exchange for a guitar, so ok.
I like it anyway, but it is now surpassed by the M-series and others.
If I had to buy a Triton series, I would lean on the Triton Extreme with his lamp in preamp and keyboard better on memory and SD card.
