UTILIZATION

For those like me who is accustomed to the logic Korg, this is very simple ... The same logic from the M1, the contribution of the touch screen making things even easier ... Anyway, for all machines is the same thing, just "see" the logic of the manufacturer, and Korg, we're 20 years on the same pattern, it allows "aficionados" of the brand never lost ...

Manuel well done, especially very logical ...

SOUNDS

Korg sound, we like it or not, but the signature sound of the brand is present. The acoustic sounds are correct, the competition is doing better now, but it's still usable. The beast is still outstanding on the organ, and his forte is the synthetic sounds ... This is a SYNTHESIZER friends, is made to produce sounds that do not exist in the world of "traditional" instruments ... HI synthesis is powerful for three reasons:
- The number of basic waveforms (PCM samples ...) is huge (one thousand I think ...)
- Filters are finally live up (Much better than M1, but it was 24 years old ...)
- The contribution of the lamp gives a grain of his remarkable, and which overcomes the digital side of the machine ...

On the pads, leads, if we take the trouble to return the beast, it can be "on your ass"!. The two arpeggiators open exciting prospects of a rhythmic point of view ...

Morality, re-learn to program, this machine is simple, and it has something to say ...

OVERALL OPINION

I ran into him several times since its release in 2004 I think. This is the most successful of the Triton series, with input from the lamp, the machine takes a grain that I had not heard from the mythical JX8P, Juno 60, Polysix ... For this machine knows recreate this kind of warm sound, it comes close to perfection, at present, of what I know, for purely synthetic sounds, there is no better ... for the price in time, because I just tested the Kronos, the price is not the same, but the sonic purity is staggering ... The Triton Extreme sounds "dirty" side, but it has a grain of her just waiting to be revealed ...

For "pianist / keyboard" stage, a set Trion extreme + Korg SV1 (piano) is formidable. The pianos, rhodes, wurli, strings on the SV1, everything pads, leads, brass and even on the Triton, it kills a formidable job. Truly effective on a machine she can do.

A perfect solution for keyboard programmer, it creates sounds absolutely fabulous, with the "grain" lamp requires ...
