Hello dudes,

could you please help to decide, which one would be a better choice?
Trinity Version 3 vs Triton Extreme vs Triton Studio...

I am going to use it for Greek music, if this matters and plays a significant role.

How important is the MossBoard? Is it necessary and can be installed in all of this models?

Thank you in advance!

Hi!

I love the Trinity, and I would to have my old trinity back as soon as possibile...but having that saied, well, if you have enough money, I would go for the Triton Extreme...
That's because it has a lot of multisamples and so you have a wider variety of sounds.

the MOSS add a synth to your workstation, so a lot of new sound possibility.
maybe it's not necessary for your kind of music, but it should be a great addition to your setup.

regards

Ahah, great answer Musikman!

We all know your love for the mighty Trinity, but I guess that a loaded Trinity (with at least PBS and MOSS) won't cost too much less than a Triton Extreme...And considering I totally love Trinity, if I'll have to choose between a TE and the Trinity, my choice will be black, not silver Wink

But I don't want to go depply into the eternal debate "Trinity VS Triton": they have their own dinstinctive characters, and I found the Extreme to be more versatile and with a wider sound palette.
Having the opportunity to own 'em all would be great!

Regards

That's it in a nut-shell. The Trinity (with the Moss + PBS) is great and I wont ever be selling it anytime soon as it sounds really smooth, but the Triton Extreme package, at least feature-wise, packs a massive punch in terms of versatility, moreso than the Trinity IMO. You have a much larger PCM multisample ROM, sampling, arpeggiators, extra polyphony (120 notes), plus you can shove in a MOSS board too (recommended!).

However, when it comes to Greek (folk?) music, I couldn't really tell you subjectively. You'd need to look at keyboards that have a set of good acoustic multisamples, not necessarily even a Korg workstation. I hear the Yamaha's (I think their Motif keyboard, you'll have to check this to be sure) tend to get good reviews with regards to the acoustic instrument samples for realism and polish. The Korg stuff often tends to be used for more synthy-type sounds, and a lot of the Hip Hop guys tend to enjoy the Tritons, too.

I have Triton Stuido and Trinity Rack, I like Trinity's sounds much more than Triton's, But if you will buy Trinity Workstation the screen is too slow...
Other than that it's great epecially it looks much more better than Triton..

I actually like my Trinity over the new M3 I have. There is something special about it. It's like the Trinity has a soul and the M3 is just a box of sounds.
Yes, the M3 has much more features, but I always seem to go back to Trinity!
...and no the Trinity was not my first board.

The only other synth I have owned that I love as much as the Trinity is the Wavestation, it was truly unique.

Hi guys!!

I've owned a Trinity, too...I know what you all are talking about!
The Trinity sound is something we all love, and I'm sure Korg putted into that silver beast some kind of drug which causes a sense of dependancy, because I'll buy my Trinity back as soon as possible, I totally love it!

But Georgnik is talking about buying something new, adding a new keyb to its setup...and at this stage, at least here in Italy, you can buy a Trinity for 750 euros (which is a very high price) and you can buy a TE for 1200 euros, the difference I think worth the extra value you have on the TE.
Once you have a solid workstation with a lot of addings than the Trinity, you can consider to buy a Trinity to add its particular sound flavour...

Regards

Thanks a lot for all of your posts!

I can not say I am 100% sure what to buy but at least I have now only 3 choices instead of 3 Smile

Triton Studio, gone!

When I will have my own workstation, I will let you know my own impression!!!
