KORG TRITON Rack Demo & Review 

Thank you!

Have you used the triton vst? I always wanted the triton since it came out but didn't have the funds. Having the vst is a dream fulfilled

What do you mean by that comment? I'm asking because I just purchased a Korg Kronos and I'm new to synthesizers.

@@ErwinSchrodinger64Korg Kronos - kapitalistischer Quatsch für Gelddiebstahl...

@@ErwinSchrodinger64 kronos is 1000 times better than that triton bs.

@@dianevrules could you please explain why someone would negate that today's workstation's aren't superior? I'm attempting to understand why someone would make such a comment. I'm new to synthesizer's and the Kronos is overwhelming in it's potential. In other words, I could download the Triton pre-sets, from Korg, which everyone agrees is 99.9% Triton similar.

@@dianevrules I think they're both pretty good, just depends on what kind of vibe you're going for in your music.

Software will never replace the real thing no matter how well programmed it is.

@@pb879 Actually, the Triton IS software in a box, and it is an extension of the Korg Oasys soundcard software. Just sayin'!🙄😂😎

@@pb879 Alright grandpa, calm down. Let's get you to bed now.

@@dominicbofficial nice, but my statement is true. You've just been son'd so now that makes me your father, so you get some sleep, son. Let the adult actually compose high quality music. Your Vsti miss you. Sleep well, son.

You'd need a usb to midi host box. You can get one for around $40.

if you threw in a Roland JV1080 (insanely cheap today compared to its original price) you'd have pretty much an entire supermassive audio library at your disposal

The Triton acoustic guitars are also lacking compared to the likes of Yamaha XV and Yamaha Motif ES at the time.

Naw the piano has a charm

Do you realize that's the most flatest 3inch monitor speaker that you can buy right now for 400 bucks?

There is one other factor which may not affect everyone....... using a computer for everything can be a creativity killer and boring. I find a good workstation keyboard and/or a good rack like say the Yamaha MU100R, enables me to be really fast and spontaneous, e.g. power on the gear and within seconds be recording and layering tracks. Also this helps to simplify the workflow and get rid of distractions.

@@EgoShredder Honestly, everybody is different on this. My computer wakes up from sleep in a second, but my Kronos takes 5 minutes to boot. And having all of my effects right there in my DAW is really convenient. But some people are convinced that hardware sounds better and others just don't like working with software. Personally, I have tons of hardware--including a Triton Rack--but, increasingly, I find myself turning more towards software instead. My Casio CZ-3000 is in storage because the software version actually sounds better and is more convenient than the original.

@@geoffk777 Yeah I understand and not preaching to anyone etc, just my own experiences. I started out in the 80s though, which has a bearing on my choices. I have a 50/50 split of software and hardware, but gone more towards older 90s hardware in recent years. I do have many new plugins and like them, but I prefer computers for editing music once written, and find it almost a none starter for creating and sequencing from nothing. Also I use a computer all day long for earning my income, so I suppose I want a break from that.

@@geoffk777 By the way everything including rack stuff I have bought in recent years, is now 3-4 times more expensive than when I bought them. Infact some things I had expansion wave cards thrown in, which now go for stupid money separately, e.g. one rack I got had a card thrown in for £35 approx and that would cost £200+ now.

@@EgoShredder Yeah, the cost of old hardware has gotten truly insane recently--even 90's racks and accessories, which seemed like they were stuck in a rut. My Yamaha FS1R and EX5R are actually worth serious money now. But, to me, that's just one more reason to skip hardware and focus on software, although, strictly as an investment, the hardware is a better choice. I work in IT, so I spend all day on a computer too, but I'm so addicted to computers that I'm happy to come home and get right back on one. Heroin would be an easier (and, probably, less expensive) addiction. As for the creative process, it really depends on what phase I'm in. Sometimes, I'm inspired by sounds, and that can easily happen on a computer. But, if I'm working on melody and chords, than I'm likely to just pick a simple sound--usually a piano--and focus on the non-technical stuff. There are so many options that regardless of hardware or software, you can spend all day just tweaking sounds and effects and never actually accomplish much.

Yes, it is also expandable and some expansions are cool.

You can put a MOSS card (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) in it and the physical modeling will take you FAR beyond the sampler capabilities you are comparing this with.🙄😎

@@saxmidiman Well, on the lookout for a MOSS board then 😉

@@ZenithMusicNet It is rare and far more expensive than what it is, but still worth having. I wanted to add it to my Triton Extreme, but did not manage to do so and in the end I already sold it.

@@musicaldracula2017 Yes, still very expensive (€500) for 25 year old technology, but if demand rises, so do prices. Thanks for your comment my friend.

actually, it's possible to replace the floppy drive with a USB-port

You can use an SD card in a SCSI2SD adapter (there might be a way to mount it internally in 3.5" bay) , but you need to have the optional SCSI interface board installed in your Triton-Rack (or Triton Classic keyboard).

@@ShallRemainUnknown thank you!!!)))

rack of course. I have both.

@@engincanipek7151 Ok, but Woody piano shack did a direct comparison, and they were pretty much identical. Maybe there's a difference, but it's not very significant.

@@geoffk777 Software sounds 2d to me. I mean there is no front and back. only left and right. I have the rack and record it through high end preamps. Maybe this is the reason. I definitely hear some difference on my setup.

@@engincanipek7151 Ok. I have lots of VSTs, and they generally sound great to me. I don't have the Triton VST, but I don't hear a lot of difference in Zen Core and Zenology on Roland. Everybody has different ears, but I still think that the differences are pretty subtle, especially for digital gear.

Its different because of the DAC and I agree, rack has that sound which is much rounder. VSTs are good, but alittle too 'clean' if you get it.

J'ai les sous titres en Anglais de maniére automatique, ça vaut peut être le coup de vérifier vos réglages sur RU-vid . 👍

You listened to the same video that I did, right? The Triton has always sounded great, so I don't know what you're talking about.

It was the best synth money could buy in the late 90s early 00

@@clarifaco One of the better ones. My preference was the Yamaha EX5 around that time, or the rack MU100R with the nine different PLG boards.

@@EgoShredder I am currently using my rack with my EX5, and TOGETHER they are a dynamo. Especially with the MOSS board.🙄😎
