Plus, with a full-featured integrated sampler, enhanced performance features, a full-function sequencer, and many optional expansion boards, TRITON will be the most powerful tool ever in your keyboard arsenal. TRITON even comes with six outputs so that you can meet the needs of any situation you come across, from live concerts to the recording studio. TRITON is truly the next-generation music workstation that every musician has been waiting for.

KORG'S New HI Tone Generator Means Genuinely Original Sound
The TRITON series features the new HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system -- a further advance in the pursuit of expressive PCM sound that captures every nuance of the individual instrument. By filtering and modulating a huge selection of high-quality PCM data and then processing the result in the newly powered-up effect section, TRITON can create everything from the sound of real-world instruments to punchy synth sounds. In addition, TRITON's full-featured sampler lets you record your own samples or load in data from a number of formats to create truly original sounds.

838 Different High-Quality PCM Sounds
TRITON's high-capacity 32 Mbyte PCM ROM contains 425 multisamples including ,organ, guitar and brass -- everything you need for all musical styles -- plus 413 drum samples. From the edgy sounds of dance/techno synth to piano, guitar, brass, strings, and tuned percussion, every type of sound you could ever need is at your fingertips. And TRITON's high-quality 48 kHz sampling rate means that every detail of the character and expressive nuance of each sound is preserved.

FLEXIBLE ROUTING AND HIGH-QUALITY EFFECTS
The effect section of TRITON's HI synthesis system consists of five stereo insertion effects, two master effects, one master EQ (stereo three-band EQ) and a mixer that controls the routing of these effects. 102 newly developed high-quality effects are built-in. Insertion effects can use any of the 102 types, and master effects can select from 89 types. The 102 effects include standard as well as unusual time-variant effects such as stereo random filter and ring modulator. An all-new vocoder effect can control internal sounds via the sampling input for totally cool results.

The TRITON features a new BPM/MIDI SYNC function. When using an effect that has and LFO, such as Stereo Wah/Auto Wah, or a delay-type effect such as L/C/R BPM Delay, this function lets you apply modulation that is synchronized to the tempo. You can specify each delay time as a note value, easily setting up rhythms that will follow any changes that occur in the tempo of the arpeggiator or sequencer (or external MIDI clock). Of course, you can use dynamic modulation to control any effect parameter while you play by using TRITON's joystick, knobs or ribbon controller, or by MIDI messages. This effect system provides an enormous boost in expressive possibilities.

Effect settings can be made independently for each program, combination, and song. In addition to the stereo Master outputs TRITON features four individual outputs, and sounds can be freely assigned to them with any effect routings that you desire. Create complex sounds using just the TRITON by itself or add external audio sources through the sampling input and process them with TRITON's insertion and master effects. So TRITON can function as a 2-in 6-out MIDI controlled effect unit. Of course, you can also apply an insertion effect to an audio source being sampled, and record the result as a stereo sample.
