meganarma « A great value »
Published on 01/12/13 at 07:43Keyboard 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.
