All user reviews of 5/5 for the Korg Triton Le 61

It's got a built in sequencer(one of the easiest ever), a ton of sounds, and an optional sampling upgrade...nuff said. I only wish that I could use more than one insert effect on sounds.

Price paid

$999

UTILIZATION

This thing is a piece of cake, I was making beats after a day of learning the sequencer and reading the manual.

It's got plastic on the sides, but stainless steel for the most part of the board. This thing is solid.

SOUNDS

For the price, you really cant beat the sounds. Plus it's a synth so you can program your own unique sounds. I was really impressed by the strings on this board, the only sounds I didnt like were the sax, but the brass is good.

OVERALL OPINION

I love this board. I will probably never sell it. If it were stolen though, I'd probably upgrade to a fantom or motif.

Features nice & pro sounding. can get difficult the triton is not easy trust me! it has hella tweaks that req alot of time

price paid

1,200 but is 2,999 at store i got a deal!

UTILIZATION

Not easy for the first time producer. u have to have some programming exp and know all types of keyboard and audio terms. cause the triton was built 4 pro's. interface is probably the easy-iest cause the screen is touch screen which is simple point & click. now the triton is so complex it has 3 manuals really! 1's the quick guide. 2's the basic's and 3 is all technical which you will need once u get use to it.

per-fect for gigs after u know how it works cause you can route effects to the mic or drums or sample. the buttons arent really easy to break but are hella expensive! i had a mic fall and break 1 key and it cost $100 to replace it! never called customer support unless u really jacked some-n up real bad or cant read. and i called them their probably really helpful since u spent 3g's on a board.

SOUNDS

Hella clean, athentic instruments & drums just add a little effect to bring it out. their are like 25 & more drum kits that can work with any style. the effects req some knowledge of effect processing like how much to use and control the flow of it. it can be improved if all the sound already had the effects applyied cause on the triton you have to copy the effects to make it sound like it does in program mode or in combinations with most of the time they use all of the effects slots. and that hella sucks.

OVERALL OPINION

Like it hella build your studio around it. just buy expansion boards to get more out and hear what more it can do. ot has so many features u can add anything to it samples,hard drive,mics,loops, etc. really thou if u like the classic get the studio even thou it cost a little mo it has heela more cant explain has more thou.

The allround workstation. I use the Triton as a central piece in my studio: sound module, sampler, midi-controller... It has a touch screen, which is extremely handy when it comes to workflow. The slider and wheel can also be used to quick navigate through the menu. The arp function is also very good and several knobs, a slider, and the X/Y joystick can be assiged to modulate just about every parameter within a sample.

Price paid: $1650 USD

UTILIZATION

Its very easy to use. I never used the manual to start out with I just jumped right into creating music and later read about further features that might be useful.

SOUNDS

The sounds are ok on the Triton. To create a unique sound on the triton effects or synthesis can be used. Either one may be very time consuming. There are many sounds that sound similar and for my purposes are not very useful.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it used. No repairs. Once or Twice I had some problems when saving a larger sample on a floppy disk but that might have been due to the floppy disk and not the Triton. It is well manufactured and people use it for live gigs so it has to be durable.

I would not be making music without it at this point. It has served me as a teaching tool and also as a way to express myself.
