How do you make a super synthesizer even more super? Ask Korg. They unleashed the Triton Studio, an even more powerful version of their amazing Triton synthesizer. New features include processor speeds up to 6x faster than the previous Tritons (which were pretty darn speedy in the first place), with a touch screen interface as responsive as you could ever want. It also offers complete sampling functionality, with the ability to pull samples from just about anywhere, including the program, combination, or sequencing modes of the unit, as well as from the external inputs and the optional CDRW-1 CD drive. The synth comes in 61 ($3,400), 76 ($3,800) and 88 ($4,200) key versions – the 61 and 76 key models offer synth action, while the 88 key is weighted). A unique weighting scheme for the 88-note version provides graduated weighting as you move down the keyboard, similar to the action on a real piano. Other features include a 5 GB hard drive, a 6 channel ADAT Output connector, 6 channel support for the new mLan digital audio/MIDI network, and room for 96mb of Sample Ram. You can add up to 7 PCM Expansion boards (16mb each). Options? The Triton Studio offers plenty of options, like the aforementioned optional CD Recorder, and a 6-voice MOSS Synthesis Engine. There’s a lot more to tell you about the Triton Studio than we have room for here, but you’ll get the full story very, very soon.
