All user reviews for the Korg Triton Le 61

Korg Triton Le 61 is a synth with up to 5 octaves. It has 768 programs and 384 combinations, 33 drum kits. Note that it is compatible MIDI GM and GS.
For almost all of the sounds, the effect can be applied:
- LPF (low pass frequency) cut-off
- Resonance HPF (high pass frequency)
- EG-intensity
-EG-Release

And 4 other effects (reverb, delay, flanger ...) with a predetermined sound.

For each sound, the synth arpeggiator offers a solution. The latter is controlled via:
- Arp-Gate
- Arp-Velocity
- Tempo
- Choice of different predefined or Arpeggi opportunity to set new ones.

In addition, sounds can still be changed at the attack, deckay, CSO balance, we can change octave, change the level, etc. ..)

For multi-sample (COMBI category on the Korg) the level of each instrument can be changed and the instrument itself.

Controllers:
- Pitch bend
- Damper Pedal
- Pedal Switch
- Assignable Pedal
- 4 knobs (for effects listed above)
- Of course, the Fader volumme.

In terms of connectivity, there is a mono output (jack), stereo (Left and Right), a headphone jack (stereo) and two individual outputs.

Of course, the MIDI (in, out, through). An optional SCSI card reader (I cross ...) can be added and thus transform the synth sampler. Similarly we can add a card with two inputs, a knob for the input gain and a changer line / mic.

We can use the Korg Triton Le 61 with a PC / Mac through the MIDI connection. A report that the knobs also sending a signal noon.

The polyphony of the synth is 64.

Note that all are are classified by type (Wood, Brass, Drums, Keys, Synth, Organ, ...) and in two categories: COMBI (multi-samples) and PROG (instruments.)


UTILIZATION

In general use is simple but use as een sequencer is more complicated.

SOUNDS

Sounds appropriate to me personally. The quality is a must as this is Korg. The sounds are varied and conviennet all sorts of styles.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, I have never been disappointed. This is the snthé to have ... but I think the reputation is already made ...
In any case it your the coup ...

64 channels polyphony
61 keys
Split Layout
Full wetsuits and Programs
89 effects, there is no damage the vocoder as the Triton Extreme
16 track sequencer with 200,000 notes RPPR (Real Time Gaming)

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 Ksounds 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

1 year and a half and I have not been around
I wanted originally a Korg PA50 Arranger keyboard but when I tried it I found the pace too mechanical music box style (like the Roland GW-8). The Triton arpeggiator sounds much more productive with crtl sounds in real time, RPPR ... on the other hand, it would have been nice to add in arpeggiator can make simple fills. This can be done with the sequencer mode RPPR but it's long it takes to program and the keys on the keyboard ...

* Synth.
* Keyboard dynamic 61 notes.
* 425 multi-samples + 413 drum samples 768 programs, 384 combinations, 33 drum kits.
Sounds * Edit: Yes.
* Controllers: Pitch, Modulation, Sustain ...
* Connectors Audio / Midi: Yes.
* 62 note polyphony.
* General Configuration

UTILIZATION

yes I would say that one must have a minimum knowledge.
Yes Manual * very clear.
* Editing and sound effects a little complicated ... but the manual is doing very well. * Yes

SOUNDS

sounds very good.
* The term good.
* Response to the velocity has nothing to say.
* The aftertouch Very correct.
* Sounds good-I would even say that some are far from realistic.
* The effects very efficient, but still a little complicated.


OVERALL OPINION

* I use it now for 1year.
* Potentiometers front on the keyboard handy.
* Function RPPR very interesting as the Cue List function or Loop mode.
* Value for money: Very justified.
* If this choice had to be rebuilt I REFERRED smoothly.

Almost wanted to get the Triton LE & borrowed from a friend before purchasing & found the sound a little too weak.

Price paid

$1000

UTILIZATION

Most user friendly keyboard around.Very useful for gigs & stuff like that

Quality: Shouldn't be a problem i guess

SOUNDS

They're like Mcdonalds when you feel like dining in an expensive restaurant. Forget it!!

OVERALL OPINION

The desing is cool but what really matters most is the sound.They just won't get my ears ringing

As far as features ther should be more pre programmed beats. I don't really like the snares I don't know why, I think cause it feels weird without pads I think the fantom set up would be nice pads. Also korg for sure lets you know what you paid for with some off the sounds

Price paid

1499

UTILIZATION

I think if you read the book and ask people where ever you got it questions it is easy plus once you get this triton down you can basically use anyone

Its built very well bullet proff. I've had this for over a year and don't think I've ever had a promblem it

SOUNDS

The strings are awesome for how much this is. There are a lot of good sounds some you have to tweak to make em sound better. I've made awesome stuff with this.

OVERALL OPINION

I love it for being my first triton I learn so much off it. I went to the studio and got on there studo triton and almost knew more then the engineer but he really didn't use it that much. I've made over 100 beats with this.

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.

Has every feature I would use. Not bad at all in this department.

Price paid

$999

UTILIZATION

Interface is also not bad although it is different in concept of quantize and the way that it does this. Reading the manual is not neccessary though.

Don't know. No problems but then again I never use it.

SOUNDS

Okay, Okay so its clean. But just like a house with no one living there, its lifeless.I suspect most people love it because any half-***ed sequence will make them sound like a producer. Electronic sounds and acoustics alike have no warthm whatsoever. Basses do sound good though. This is a stand-alone piece due to the fact that its sounds don't blend well with other synths at all.

OVERALL OPINION

I don't, but maybe a rookie will. Anyone with a little talent can sound "pro" with this industry staple.

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.
