Korg Triton 101 (VST, 2024 Edition) 

Great tutorial! Do you think the Triton is worth owning if you already have the M1? They seem almost identical in terms of their design/UI (to the point where I feel like this video could almost double as an M1 tutorial), but presumably there's something that justifies it being double the price! Is that just down to the quality of the waveforms/presets? Currently going back and forth between buying this versus some of the Roland plugins you showed off in your previous video :)

It's starting to get ridiculous: I want to learn how to make atmospheric dnb, you have tons of great videos. I want to learn how to make Ridge Racer type jazz, you release a video. I buy the Triton, you release a video. It's like your filling the exact niche that I and I'm sure lots of other love. Please never stop!

Well this video just cost me $100 😅 I actually always wanted a Triton during my Hip Hop/RnB phase in the 2000s but never could afford to get one, so this is a great way to finally get my hands on one! Part of me wants the M1 VST too, but that’s purely for nostalgic reasons as my Dad had one in the house from when they came out. Way before I had any idea what they were all about.

This thing makes the most beautiful sounding guitar sounds ever. Also the drums are so rad!

Man I gotta thank you for all your content. I started getting back into music production after not being that good to begin with earlier this year and your channel has been a HUGE help.

Fantastic video man!! Appreciate it

This is an A+ tutorial. Doing this for all of the legacy stuff would be so tremendous!

Thank you so much for this very easy break down of the interface.

Man, thanks for all this knowledge on the Korg products, particularly from the jungle angle. I live in the UK and have loved jungle since the 90s, but never heard any of this stuff until 2024 😅 Big up chest!!

Awesome video. Super clear and right to the point, thank you very much!

The Stereo Chorus Effect is the best chorus effect I ever heard

Super great tutorial! Thank you

Thanks for posting this, I needed this in my life. Truly wish I could give you 5k likes from myself. People show this VST all the time, but no one explains how to use it. They even have videos showing how to use the original hardware, but you have done what was so desperately needed. Thanks for posting this!!!!

Thanks for the video!!! This was the missing link in my VST collection. I bought the Maschine Mikro and got heavily invested into the Native Instruments space and started purchsing the Expansions and several of the Maschine instruments. They're all pretty good but when it came to song creation, I just couldn't find the sounds I was used to having when I owned a Roland XP-50 and the XP-30. The digital pianos, the simulated guitars, nylon, jazz, distorted...those tine pianos and electric piano sounds. Then I started to see these VST's that sampled the MKS module, then I saw Spectrasonic's Keyscape, that's when I started to realize those sounds I wanted were all living inside the keyboard workstations of the 90's!!! I bought the Gospel Musicians MKSensation Xtreme and it was pretty good but when I saw the Korg Triton on sale, I grabbed it without hesitating. I got the Triton Bundle that includes sounds from the Triton, plus the expansion modules and the Korg Triton Extreme which has even more sounds and expansions. I've had this for over a month and I haven't even scratched the surface on the number of sounds that are included!! I'm still browsing the Factory modules, honestly it's almost too much. I honestly regret purchasing the GM MKSensation because the Korg Bundle was all I needed. All those dynamic layered pianos with pads and most importantly all of the pre-baked synth sounds without having to configure and tweak a synth. You want that Oberheim synth that sounds exatly like Van Halen's Jump it's there without having to tweak it. Another great thing is it loads fast and doesn't eat up a lot of cpu. Loads into Ableton quickly and is nice and responsive. Best purchase I've made VST wise. I figure if I get that Keyscape, that will be all I need creatively.

Amazing video!! Thank you! Sick Combi!!!!

This is wonderfully helpful, thanks. I have been wondering whether to invest in the Triton VST. I'm amazed at how powerful this is, that Korg implemented all this in hardware 25 years ago.

I know I’m late but nice video and I’ll be there for all your next video❤

Just bought the triton today and before work just played with it in stand alone mode. Legit probably the most fun I've had even tho im not even the Greatest piano player (i dont even know music theory) but the sounds give me so much inspiration and little melodies and chords. Tomorrow ill try and work on making music on Ableton. So far im loving it and highly recommend it

Great Video honestly, keep doing this

Thank you for sharing this video, it was very helpful. 😎

It was only yesterday when I commented on one of your other vids asking if you have a video where you compare the Triton and the Wavestation. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I am definitely gonna have to pick this one up later tonight 😄

thanks a lot for this

Thanks for showing how to use the Triton as a multi-timbral instrument!!!!!

Very thanks for getting this infos!You can get this wonderful,excellent VTS for free!!Yes,such great work from KORG!This in combination with for example CuBase13,extremly amazing!

Funnily enough I just bought this - was on the fence when it was on sale for $149 a few months ago, but now that it's $99 it had to be done!

Quality content right here

Great video again 👍

Men you are awesome. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial! I had the vst for a while but mostly use presets and then loads of external fx on top 😂

Hello, I watched several of your videos about triton, thank you very much, I learned a lot. I really look forward to you teaching me about modulation. Because I have some ideas and I don’t know if they can be implemented: for example, use a knob on the midiKeyboard to assign to control the filter. Or two OSCs, one of which I don’t want to have anything to do with the damper pedal (damper), I don’t know if it can be realized. Thank you so much:)

Great video. Bonus, the UI on the Triton Extreme is the same. So they work the same way.

Thank you!!

Just picked it up and super pumped! I just wish it was possible to export/import patches like you can with the M1 vst.

nice video,very informative

Thorough video 📹 man

One thing that is useful with this vst is it is easy to extract drum sample loops from it's many patterns. Grab the pattern and then just freeze the track and save the sample. But it sounds dated now. Would love it to be better than it is due to its reputation. But I do have a M50 which just sounds better.

this was such a good tutorial wow. you need to teach college courses or something

I downloaded the demo version and I had fun listening 🎶 to the sounds on my 🖥 pc at first. I could get my midi keyboard to control it at the time. I actually purchased the full version last night 🌙. How do you get the midi keyboard 🎹🎵🎶 to control the program?

The concept of Programs and Combis actually predates the M1 as well. Combis started, I think, with the DS-8, which was 8-part multitimbral. Of course, the DS-8 was also limited to 8 voices, so the multitimbrality was sometimes less than useful.

Hai sir, I have this plugin and it works with Ableton Live very well. But I culdnot play it within Standalone mode. in Standalone Mode, Midi comments is reseving from my midi keyboard to Korg Program, But Sound is not comming out from speakers. I thing, its the output settings problum within korg plugin. How can i Solve this problum.

Thanks for the tutorial, do you know if its possible to change the octave / transpose of a combi and save it to avoid changing it manually every time?

I was thinking about getting Triton and Triton Extreme first, but I found that I can purchase KORG Collection at quite reasonable price as blackfriday sale. I heard some preview sound and I liked it. Do you think it is worth to get the collection 4?

How is the extreme different from normal one?🤔

i have an issue with korg triton. every time i double click the stop button at the top of fl studio, the pitch wheel is automatically set to a detuned position. this keeps happening when i double click the stop button.

Question, I bought the Korg Collection 4 over holidays … Is the extreme basically the same as the Triton (I.e. a souped up Triton) . If I continue to use the extreme because it’s the newest one, am I missing out on anything from regular Triton ? 🤔

Can you make a video on how to load and save presets?

So, I've already got the Wavestation & M1..Like @17cupsofcoffee I'm considering getting the Triton based on stuff I've seen on yr channel (brilliant btw). Is it worth adding the Triton or am I better upgrading to Soundtoys 5 - both completely different I know. The Triton Arp looks v interesting. I'm trying to get that Dream Dolphin - L.E.A. vibe...Thanks for all the great info!!

Hey dude thanks for the tutorial. I wanted to know if it's possible to change sounds while playing live from within the Triton (when I'm using both hands) instead of using a host like Camelot/Mainstage/Gig performer. If possible then could you elaborate how?

Excellent video, thank you! Is there a way to copy the IFX from Program to Combi or do you need to build the IFX from scratch in Combi? For instance, when I load a Program in Combi it loses all IFX and sounds flat. Thanks!

is there a way to avoid sound cut-off when changing patches in program mode?

Now that I am waiting for my Triton Rack to be delivered, I am actually wondering if I made a mistake and should have got this VST instead

Wouldbe nicefor iPhone it's old enough to program

I also find Korg Gadget interesesting. If I buy the Korg Collection 4, is it worth buying the Gadget plugins as well, now when it's on Black Week sale? Or will the Collection cover much of the same instruments and sounds?

Great Tutorial How to add new vst voices in triton vst.

I was actually going to post on your next video about the fact that the Triton was on sale for $99, I'm going to get it when I get my next paycheck. Edit: if we make music using your tutorials and/or samples, can we post links to our work in your comments?

Did korg ever put the trinity / tr-rack to vst

Do you need a korg account to use the vst? Or do you just download and install?

can .sng files be loaded for playback?

but how do you load pcg into this vst?

It's got some great sounds, but I hate the navigation. M1 feels way more user-friendly.

Do you know if it could receive SysEx like the phisical Triton?

Was the $99 only temporary? I see that it’s back up to $149 : (

06:39 In fact it’s 128 per Bank, including 000

Maybe i should spend the 99 maaaan i been using the mono/poly for like 4 years already 😅 my songs are starting to sound the same.

💫👋👋👋

When I browse through the sounds In fl studio they don’t play

sent here in 2024 and it's full price :(

Worst VST ever, and Korg's support sucks. The best way to use this VST is to record it via audio and then use it in your daw. The problems I have is it constantly changing the octave that the sound is played in. I totally regret getting the Legacy 4 collection, big waste of money, the Triton and the triton extreme both do not work properly tons of glitches. The original Legacy 3 collection is awesome but Legacy 4 better off spending it on some other big name vst
