Hey everyone!, now that many creative minds have had some time to work with the Triton Studio, I think it's time to give Jerry and the rest of the Korg gang a product evaluation on the Triton Studio since it's been out about a year now.

So what's your evaluation on the TS? You can answer the following if you want;

1) How long have you had the TS.
2) What things can be improved on.
3) How do you use your TS.
4) How many keys.
5) Customer Support rating. 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent)
6) What genre of music do you make with the TS.
7) Are you in music as a Professional, Semi-Pro, Hobbyist, other?

Any other comments are encouraged and of course up to you.

I've also included a best feature poll for everyone.

1) How long have you had the TS.
About a year (one of the first in Canada!)

2) What things can be improved on.
I don't understand the question. (Nyuk,nyuk,nyuk) The OS could be updated, that would be good. Oh - hey they're doing that!
ACTUALLY - phantom power and XLR-ins would be REALLY NICE , a visual EQ display so you could see your peaks/clipping etc.

3) How do you use your TS.
As an ashtray holder, beer holder but mostly for music.

4) How many keys.
75½

5) Customer Support rating. 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent)
5

6) What genre of music do you make with the TS.
classical, experimental & random styles

7) Are you in music as a Professional, Semi-Pro, Hobbyist, other?
hobby

1) How long have you had the TS.:under a month

2) What things can be improved on:

Streaming samples from the hard drive like from ram/rom is a must if it is capable! Many samplers with equivalent speed of the Triton Studio has can stream samples directly from the hard drive. This would make the Triton Studio even more invincible and it seems to be very possible. 100+ MB samples anyone hehe?


More EXBs from Korg. Please give us some more EXBs Korg. Acoustic Drums, Ethnic, Organs, more, Please pretty please!!!


3) How do you use your TS:

For all my synth stuff and a controller for my module rack.

4) How many keys

61

5) Customer Support rating. 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent)

Definite 5, doesn't get any better.

6) What genre of music do you make with the TS:

Hard to say, I guess rock/metal/prog, and a lil' classical and experimental thrown in. When you say metal most people associate it with the bowel movement singing and all that, not my style. I go for the melodic, intelligent, high quality/musicianship side with vocalists that actually sing. Some complex compositions, but very song oriented stuff with great chops and feel!!! Hard to say, the lines are so blurred really, I turn around from that and listen to Phil and Genesis among many other things hehe.

Bands/Artists influences:
Ring of Fire
Artension
Vitalij Kuprij
Greg Howe
Planet X


7) Are you in music as a Professional, Semi-Pro, Hobbyist, other?

Geez lol that's a hard one, I do make money off my music so I might be somewhere between Professional/Semi-Pro

So what's your evaluation on the TS? You can answer the following if you want;

1) How long have you had the TS.

Since late Nov 02

2) What things can be improved on.

Agree with Keyare..

-Move the PSU & fit ashtray/beerholder. Gives it a more balanced look for unbalanced owners.
-Fit a rib on panel above keybed to stop pens & stuff falling off (or maybe that's part of the 'uncluttered design' ethos)
-Cheaper MLAN please (but suspect a lot of that's down to licensing)
-Something else to occupy the MOSS bay? Not that I'm not happy with the MOSS board but given the way it hooks into & extends the motherbeast it appears to be a rather powerful expansion possibility. Maybe an analogue board?

3) How do you use your TS.

Make a lot of use of the undocumented time dilation effect. ie find a spare hour to play with it, then someone like Sharp posts his loop tricks, try that out.. several hours later... Then rinse & repeat. I spend a lot of time doing simple things, like sticking a CD in & playing along with it to try and improve my technique. Rest of the time I try and emulate sounds I like.

4) How many keys.

76

5) Customer Support rating. 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent)

Don't know, with this place, not needed it yet. Only comment is it'd be nice if Korg was more 'global', ie the US seems to have stuff the UK doesn't (like the videos).

6) What genre of music do you make with the TS.

Odd noises mostly.. not got as far as stringing them together into a song yet. I like ambient/industrial techno mostly, but also trying to learn more classical techniques.

7) Are you in music as a Professional, Semi-Pro, Hobbyist, other?

I like the term 'enthusiastic amateur' myself

I would be interested to see what Jerry says.
