Babelfish translation of info on Triton Extreme
(read at your own risk ... very broken English...)

Up-to-date style "TRITON Extreme" appearance of music work station
- Enormous timbre group loading, at the vacuum inside of pipe warehouse power the sound which overflows actualization -
-2004-1-15-

KORG built in the vacuum tube, announced the release of the up-to-date music work station synthesizer "TRITON Extreme" which loads PCM which reaches to 160MB. As for 61 key models 23 ten thousand 5000 Yen, as for 76 key models 26 ten thousand Yen, 88 keys (the way Ted RH2 keyboard) we have reached 31 ten thousand Yen, as for 61 and 76 key models late February sale schedule, as for 88 key models March sale schedule.

* Loading the sound source PCM which reaches to HI synthesis system and 160MB. New PCM and the expansion board for the TRITON series (EXB-PCM) PCM large number is recorded. All the 1,344 programs and 1,280 combinations, 489 dual loading poly- phonic アルペジエータ. In addition, by the fact that the tone generator 2 is used, maximum of 120 voice thing simultaneous pronunciations have become possible. It is possible also to add the EXB-MOSS board.

962 due to 48kHz sampling building in the multiple sample and 1,175 drums sample. Anew PCM, brass lead/read and the electric/acoustic guitar and the stereo piano where vibrato is effective (TRITON STUDIO the gland piano which has the beam of the type which differs), seems, that such as organ sound of raw type is recorded mainly preponderantly and choir. In addition, the expansion board for the former TRITON series (EXB-PCM) from, vintage keyboard/シンセ, house/trance system and the orchestra collection etc. focusing on, luxurious sound is many loaded at Takasina rank.
The combination which combines 1,344 programs and the program up to maximum of 8 1,280, the drum kit which you use as the oscillograph 50 is built in to the substance, in the ドラムス program. It builds in also 256 programs of GM2 conformity/144 drums kit. The user saving territory with the substance, 1,536 programs and 1,536 combinations, has become 144 drums kit.

* Loading the vacuum tube circuit Valve Force which plus does the material feeling of analog in sound.

The vacuum tube 12AU7 which becomes the work station first (ECC82) it loads, there is no former PCM シンセ, the drive impression the sound which overflows can be actualized. With TRITON Extreme, forming Valve Force with the Ultra Boost circuit and the vacuum tube amplifier. Be able to control the effect with 4 parameters of INPUT TRIM, ULTRA BOOST, TUBE GAIN and OUTPUT LEVEL, in every program, the combination and song memory possibility. It corresponds to stereo in/out with 1 vacuum tube, it uses as insertion and the final of effect session. Either use combining with insertion effect and master effect possibility (cannot use with the resampling and the like of the L/R output with of S/P DIF and L/R output with each mode).
Inserting, when you use, 3/4BUS becomes input of the Valve Force circuit, after the Valve Force passing, signal is sent (such as insertion effect/master effect/L/R ahead each outputting). Also it is possible in addition, inserting Valve Force to external audio input, sampling, inserting Valve Force to sample playback sound resampling to do.
When you use, as the final each output (the MIDI track/truck/the audio track/truck of the program/combination/sample playback/song) at analog audio output last stage boost the whole it is possible as ファイナライズ processing, to do.

* Equality to the present flag ship work station "TRITON of the same company STUDIO V2", resampling and in-Track Sampling etc. has Open Sampling System which can be joined with the sequencer smoothly, the sampler function which is loaded. As for reading possible format AIFF, WAVE and AKAI S1000/3000, コルグ format.

To the substance standard to RAM of 16MB which is equipped approximately 2 minute 54 seconds, is possible the sampling which is approximately 1 minute 27 seconds with the stereo with monaural. In addition, 72 pin SIMM boards (Fast 16MB of Page or EDO correspondence/with those of 32MB, maximum 96MB (3) to expand memory it is possible 32MB SIMM access speed 60nsec or high speed the thing enabled) by increasing from that. In this case, the sample which is longest approximately 2 minute 54 seconds with monaural up to 6, the sampling which is total approximately 17 minute 28 seconds possibility (in the stereo, the sample which is approximately 1 minute 27 seconds up to 6, total approximately 8 minute 44 seconds). With the media of the compact & the flash, micro drive etc., with one sample file, monaural/both the stereo being longest, concerning 1 media 80 minutes (monaural: / Of approximately 440MB stereo: Approximately 876MB) Sampling is possible. In addition, it draws up the WAVE file simultaneously, by the fact that it loads to sample memory, again as the sound source ripple mark it is possible to utilize.

* As for largest 4ch audio input, analog 2ch, digital (S/P DIF 48kHz) 2ch. As for largest 6ch audio output, L (MONO), in addition to the main output of R, independence audio output and digital output of 4 systems (S/P DIF 48kHz) 2ch. USB A, it can equip the B terminal usually, USB drive such as CD-R/RW drive (the USB A terminal) and PC (the USB B terminal) with can connect with cable 1. In addition, it is convenient to keeping the data/exchanging, it equips also the card slot of the compact & the flash and micro drive correspondence.



When TRITON Extreme is reserved promptly, when the campaign that, is done from January 28th to February 29th, the TRITON Extreme logographic entering USB flash memory which is convenient to the timbre data and the retention of the sample (32MB) you can receive, is.

Ok heres the official Specs on the Triton Extreme. It has three of the expansion boards already preinstalled ( the Trance, Orch boards there is two of them, and the vintage, plus a new piano, and alot of other new rom ) and it's only other expansion is the moss board.

More than Meets the Eye Beneath the cool blue exterior lurks a red-hot 160 MB of clean, crisp 48kHz wave ROM – five times the ROM of the classic TRITON! This massive ROM includes sizzling new samples – expressive guitars (both acoustic and electric), woodwind and brass instruments captured with true natural vibratos, stellar organs, authentic choirs and an all-new concert grand piano are only a few of the highlights. TRITON Extreme also includes the entire sample sets from our best selling Trance Attack, Orchestral Collection and Vintage Archives expansion boards; the best material from our Dance Extreme, Studio Essentials and Pianos/Classic Keyboards collections; and, of course, the complete TRITON STUDIO sample set.

Mounds of Sounds When it comes to sounds, the TRITON Extreme is a treasure trove, delivering an out-of-the-box palette of sounds that is second to none. The preload data – created by the top programmers in the game – includes an incredible 1,334 Programs and 50 Drum kits. Add to that another 1,280 Combinations, each composed of up to eight Programs, split, layered, zoned and velocity allocated across the keyboard. We’re still not done; additional banks of GM Level 2 Presets contain 256 Programs and nine Drum kits. Let’s put it this way: say you wanted to spend a mere 10 seconds checking out each preloaded sound. Be prepared to add some overtime to your eight-hour day!

Unchained Sound Creation Horsepower Twin tone generators combine to pump out a generous 120 notes of polyphony. Korg’s acclaimed Hyper Integrated synthesis engine provides breath-taking audio quality and an amazing degree of sound editing control. Each oscillator is processed through a multi-mode filter and multiple advanced envelope generators for precise sound shaping. Each of the two LFOs offers 21 waveforms, and each LFO can be synced to the arpeggiator, sequencer, or to your other MIDI gear. Plus, you can breathe new life into your sounds using 42 alternate modulation source (AMS) types and 51 modulation destinations. Supercharge your TRITON Extreme by adding six-voices of DSP modeling (stolen from the legendary Korg Z1) with the optional MOSS (EXB-MOSS) and leave everyone else eating dust.

Dual polyphonic arpeggiators can spit out machine-gun cascades of notes, hold down a groove or generate a simple acoustic guitar picking pattern. 489 arpeggiator patterns come preloaded.
Sizzling Sampling Without equal as a synthesizer, TRITON Extreme is also a robust 16-bit, 48kHz sampler. Korg’s exclusive Open Sampling System unlocks the power and benefits of sampling from every mode. This opens the door to creatively resampling your TRITON Extreme performances – including performances enhanced by the sequencer playback and the arpeggiators. Auto-Setup functions automatically optimize multiple parameters for a variety of sampling situations. By far, one of the most important features of the TRITON Extreme’s sampling engine is “In Track Sampling,” where you can sample audio directly into the sequencer as it plays. The possibilities are endless, but now you can add vocal lines, guitar solos and other audio performances to your sequenced songs! Finally, you can sample or resample directly to CompactFlash or Microdrive media. Resampled songs saved to media can be converted to audio and burned to CD via USB.

Expandable to 96 MB, TRITON Extreme ships with 16 MB of sample memory. Sample memory is conveniently added through a pop-open hatch on the front panel. A complete set of grid-assisted sample editing tools is provided – including time slice, loop, truncate, and time stretch functions. TRITON Extreme is compatible with .WAV, AIFF, AKAI S1000/S3000 and KORG format sample data. Advanced Conversion Load allows AKAI programs to be loaded into a new Program or multi-level Combination with the filter settings, envelope settings, and velocity switching parameters preserved for enhanced compatibility.
Exhilarating Effects Our new tube-driven Valve Force circuitry can be used as an insert effect or on the final outputs, adding just the right amount of warmth or snarl to your sound. You can even sample an external sound through the Valve Force circuit to impart “tube” quality to the sound. Valve Force has proven itself in our ESX-1 and EMX-1 Electribes. The enhanced version in the TRITON Extreme provides that same fullness of tone and also incorporates an Ultra Boost element designed to punch up the low end without muddying up the sound.

In addition to Valve Force, TRITON Extreme also dishes out a generous serving of five Insert effects, two stereo Master effects as well as a Master EQ effect for eight simultaneous effects. Multiple timbres can be routed to the same Insert effect, and you can chain Insert effects together to create outrageous custom multi-effects. Master effects can run side by side or in series for maximum flexibility. Effect parameters are freely editable, can be modulated in realtime and are saved with the sound. Insert effects draw from a deep well of 102 effect types, and there are 89 Master effect types. Effects can be applied to both internal and external sounds, even as a sound is being sampled. By resampling an effect laden performance you can free up effects and use them over and over.
Stay in Control How do you rein in a beast with this much power? In addition to its mighty and intuitive TouchView display panel, TRITON Extreme provides an array of unique realtime controls, including a joystick, ribbon controller and two assignable switches. Four realtime control knobs can switch between Valve Force parameters (Input Trim, Ultra Boost, Tube Gain, Output Level), sound editing functions (Cutoff, Resonance, EG-Intensity and Release) or any four parameters of your choice – including controlling external MIDI gear. The back panel accommodates multiple pedal types that can be assigned to a variety of functions.

Beyond Sequencing TRITON Extreme is one daring and dangerous performance instrument, and it’s also an amazing compositional tool. Sixteen tracks, 200 songs and 200,000 notes are just the beginning. Step time, real time, looping and pattern based recording modes allow you to capture your musical ideas your way. Sequencing is so much more than just record and playback, and TRITON Extreme delivers the tools you need to polish your songs into gemstones. Quantize functions tighten up your timing or add swing to a steady beat. Twenty-four Tone Adjust parameters let you quickly edit the timbre assigned to any track without exiting the sequencer, and leave the original program untouched. Sys Ex recording allows you to automate your mix in new and creative ways – muting tracks, soloing others, loading new effect programs during different sections, and more. TRITON Extreme also uses song “templates” to give you a head start when laying down tracks. Each template assigns timbres to each track, assigns and routes effects, and can even offer up a variety of rhythm patterns to get you going. Sixteen song templates, each tuned to a different musical style, are preset and you can also create 16 all your own, eliminating repetitive steps when you want to get your ideas down.

If you’d like to work on your masterpiece in smaller chunks, you can compose individual songs for the verse, chorus and bridge etc.; the Cue List function allows you to string these individual parts together. Once you have decided on the right order – and you can try a number of versions – simply convert the Cue List into a single song. You can also create your hits from even smaller building blocks. With Korg’s Realtime Pattern Play and Record (RPPR) function, short sequenced patterns can be assigned and played back from individual keys on the keyboard.

Behind the Scenes Muscle Its not just what’s up front that counts. The TRITON Extreme’s back panel is decked out with all the trappings a modern synth should have. In addition to the main left and right outputs, there are four assignable individual outputs to send your sound where you want it. Two audio inputs with adjustable gain and MIC/LINE level switching allow you to sample from a wide range of sources, as well as access the internal effects. Digital In and Out is provided in S/P DIF optical format. Here you’ll also find the CompactFlash media slot, MIDI connectors, and the damper/footswitch/footpedal jacks.

Welcome to the USB Universe We saved the best for last. Two USB connection ports open up a world of possibilities. By connecting a CD-R/RW drive to USB Port A, completed songs (once they have been resampled as .WAV files) can be burned to CD as audio. This connection also allows you to use external USB data storage units with the TRITON Extreme. USB Port B allows an external computer to access the media in the CompactFlash slot, allowing you to share files back and forth.

It's basically just a Triton Studio with most of the PCM expansions built-in and a USB port (which is tight).

If you already have a Triton Studio, this ain't shit. If you have a Triton Classic, go with a Studio for less. Most of those expansion cards are garbage. There's no increase in the amount of maximum RAM so.... Custom sounds is where it's at anyways!

6-12 months later korg will release the "triton extreme attitude" edition. Why not come with a NEW sound engine, NEW touch screen, NEW color, NEW filters, NEW storage, NEW....well you all get the picture. This is what? Number five or six in the triton series/family? Korg has been on the same trinity and triton shit for years...speaking of trinity I have a chance to snatch one for a smokers price if the cat still has it. Anyone here OWN one or used one in a commercial release?


Roland....:shaking his head:....fantom, fantom s and fantom x. WOW! COLOR CODED SCHEMES MOM!!!!!!! WHY NOT USE THE TOUCH SCREEN THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE V SYNTH? Yeah some of the specs are doubled but they should have raised the bar when they first dropped the fantom. Those specs are just about the same as the motif es...what i'll do is wait till the fantom s drops in price again or i'll find some chump slanging an old school fantom for pennies. Snatch one, install the srx boards and go about my business....


"fantom x" sounds like some super-villian-decepticon-voltron power ranger shit.....


one more post and i'm hitting the streets,


:hgk:

Click to expand...

I own one ( not a V3 though:() and love it to death. While the rom is a little out of date, there is more than enough to keep you coming back to use it.

@HERESY - If you pick it up I have quite a few extra programs for it ( a couple hundered give or take, I can get them to you if you want them, all except the ones I made:devious: )

From what I've read the new Triton Extreme will retail less that the Triton Studio, by how much I'm not sure around $2,200 or so could be more could be less. 160 megs of rom is alot, most of it is old though, I wonder how much of that is new??? From what I could calculate only about 16 maybe 32 megs at the most.

I was looking into getting a Fantom-S the last month or so, but roland being roland, has a couple of issue's with there OS for the Fatom-S, so I'm wondering have they fixed them with the Fantom-X, and if so will they update the OS on the Fantom-S. If they do I'm sure they'll drop the price on them again. Roland didn't really add much to the X though if you look at the specs.

Oh well it seems we have three upgraded version's of the 3 major synth's out there, which one to chose which one to chose.....

Here's a really bad photo showing the color screen on the Fantom-X. Not sure but if you look at the lower right corner, it looks like there is pic of a guitar or violin, so I wonder if you pull up a different sound category if they have different pic's for them??

just a couple of days before NAMM the price on the Fantom-S dropped to a 1000 at a local guitar center. Thats the cheapest i've seen so far, anywhere...If anybody has seen anything cheaper let me know...Plus the Fantom was going to be sold with a Warrenty.
