KORG TRITONLE88 Details
Introducing the New TRITON Le 88
The TRITON Le is now available with Korg's top of the line 88-note graded-hammer
action (RH2). To complement this action, the KORG TRITON Le 88 also
features our new 16MB stereo Concert Grand Piano sample set.
TRITON Le, the Lean, Mean Music Workstation
The new TRITON Le Music Workstation distills all the best features of its namesake
into a streamlined, cost-effective package. Available in 61, 76 and 88 -key
versions, the TRITON Le inherits the main functionality of the TRITON and features
an interface that even entry-level users will find comfortable. Korg TRITONLe 88 and
TRITON share the same sophisticated HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system,
a tone generator acclaimed by professionals throughout the world.
Loaded with High Quality TRITON Sound Data
The TRITON Le 88 extra-large 32 Mbyte PCM ROM (borrowed from the TRITON, of course)
is packed with 425 multisamples and 413 drum samples. They cover a broad palette
of instruments ranging from indispensable standards like piano, guitar, brass,
strings and tuned percussion to the most modern synth sounds that are perfect
for dance grooves. The TRITON Le 88 also offers an additional 16 Mbyte stereo
Concert Grand Piano sample set for a total of 48 Mbyte of PCM ROM. High-quality
48-kHz sampling ensures that every detail of every sound is richly preserved.
Exciting New Sounds, Plus Many TRITON Classics
The TRITON Le features both high-quality sounds selected from TRITON's preload
data and an assortment of new Programs and Combinations voiced especially for
the instrument. In addition to its 448 onboard programs (64 program locations
are also available for your own sound creations/edits),128 programs and 9 drum
kits (compatible with the GM Level 2 sound map) are included, allowing the TRITON
Le to be GM compatible.
The new music workstation also contains 384 Combinations, each consisting of
up to eight Programs. These Combis include richly layered sounds, splits, velocity
layers and controller-assigned combinations that will give your music guaranteed
impact.
You can also customize the TRITON Le's Programs, Combinations and drum kits
– or create your own – and overwrite them into the 512 programs/384
combinations/24 drum kits in the workstation's internal memory. All of these
can be backed up onto SmartMedia cards, an external hard drive or removable
media drive (if the optional EXB-SMPL Sampling Upgrade board is installed) to
create enormous libraries of your own, personal sounds.
Four-Part Effects Section for Studio-Quality Sound
The TRITON Le provides one stereo insert effect, two master effects plus a master
EQ (stereo 3 band) and a mixer section that controls their routing. With 89
different effects types, it delivers the same high-quality processing found
in the TRITON – including realtime modulation of many effect parameters
and the ability to sync' to MIDI Clock or to the internal sequencer. Effects
can be set for each Program, Combination and Song, enabling you to perfect your
sound down to the last detail and without the need for any additional gear.
Fully-Featured 16-track Sequencer for All-in-One Music Production
A full-fledged 16-track sequencer with a capacity of up to 200,000 notes and
200 songs is built in, and delivers the same level of functionality found in
the TRITON and KARMA Music Workstations. You can record in realtime or step
time, and a host of powerful editing tools are provided.
The Cue List lets you assemble your song from separate elements (Verse, Chorus,
Break, etc.), and even convert them back into a single song for further recording
or editing. Powerful features allow consecutive playback, changes in structure,
and rearranging the sections of your song. One hundred and fifty preset drum
patterns and 100 user patterns, a Track Loop function that lets you play back
specified measures of a track as a loop, and even a Template Song function (16
presets and 16 user memories) that contains program and effect setups appropriate
for various styles of music, all make music production fast, easy and efficient.
Your sequence data can be saved as SMF format 0 or 1, making it simple for
you to exchange data with other sequencers or sequencing software. Data can
be saved or exchanged via SmartMedia. Data can also be saved or exchanged via
SCSI devices when the optional EXB-SMPL Sampling Upgrade is installed.
Dual Arpeggiator and RPPR Functions Inherited from TRITON
The TRITON Le provides two powerful polyphonic arpeggiators that can be used
to create intricate and expressive pitched patterns or drum grooves. Two hundred
and five patterns are provided (5 Preset/200 editable), with 16 User locations
available for your own creations. You can use one arpeggiator in Program mode,
and two arpeggiators in Combi and Sequencer modes, and you can even record the
arpeggiators into the internal sequencer. Korg's unique RPPR function allows
you to trigger sequenced patterns from individual keys on the keyboard for cool
DJ style performances.
EXB-SMPL: Sampling Upgrade Delivers Powerful Sampling Possibilities
The user-installable EXB-SMPL Sampling Upgrade adds two audio inputs with mic/line
switching and a variable gain knob, a SCSI interface and support for 48-kHz
16-bit linear mono/stereo sampling. Sample waveform editing functions including
Crossfade Loop, Truncate, Normalize, Time Slice, Time Stretch and Rate Convert
give you the editing possibilities you expect from a sophisticated sampler.
You can also connect to external SCSI devices, making it possible to use a wide
range of storage media or to access CD-ROM sound libraries. AIFF, WAVE, AKAI
S1000/3000 (samples and multisamples) as well as Korg format data are all supported.
The EXB-SMPL Board comes standard with 16-Mbytes of SIMM memory. This allows
approximately two minutes, 54 seconds of monaural sampling, or approximately
one minute, 27 seconds of stereo sampling. You can install a maximum of two
72-pin SIMM memory modules* to expand the memory to 64-Mbytes (when the standard
16-Mbyte module included is replaced by two 32-Mbyte modules).
* User-installable. Use 16-Mbyte or 32-Mbyte 72-pin SIMM modules that are either
Fast Page or EDO-compatible, with an access speed of 60 nsec or faster.
High-Capacity SmartMedia for even Greater Convenience
The TRITON Le sports a SmartMedia slot to accommodate compact and high-capacity
SmartMedia, allowing you to exchange or backup large amounts of data easily.
Imagine storing nearly 90 floppy disks worth of Program, Combi, Sequence and
sample data on a card the size of a cracker, with almost no load time! SmartMedia
sizes up to 128 Mbyte are supported, and data can easily be exchanged with a
computer via readily available adapters commonly used with digital cameras.
You can also load samples into a Triton Le using a SmartMedia card.
You're in Control
The TRITON Le provides a joystick, two assignable switches, and four realtime
control knobs, and lets you use these for Alternate Modulation Sources to apply
modulation to LFO and filters etc., to dynamically control effect parameters
or to control the arpeggiators.
Finding sounds on the TRITON Le is a breeze. A dedicated [CATEGORY] key brings
you to an easy interface for finding Programs and Combinations quickly and easily.
This ‘category selection' method is used not only for selecting sounds,
but also when selecting oscillator waveforms and effect algorithms.
The [AUDITION] key allows you to preview Programs using a selection of musically-appropriate
riffs – a great way to get to hear the TRITON Le in action.
Features 16 meg Bosendorfer grand piano with 4-zone graded hammer weighting.
If you own a Korg Triton Music Workstation or Rack (or you're just thinking
about getting one), now there's a version of KARMA Software for you, too! KARMA
Triton gives you complete access to the same KARMA technology used in the award-winning
KARMA Music Workstation. All you need is a Triton Classic, Studio, Rack or LE
and a PC/Mac, and you can take advantage of the cutting edge in algorithmic
musical effect generation. All without turning "purple" with envy.
