So I am about to ship off my triton ex... getting the kronos tomorrow morning.

I know the triton thick and through for the most part. Im not too familiar with the arpegiator, however i previously owned a karma and understand its original version for the most part.

Will my triton knowledge (and korg radias) transfer will for kronos?

Please people who have owned a triton leave input!

Some of your Triton stuff will transfer. I'll leave that to people who know more than I do. Whether your genius will transfer...

On a more serious note, if you can stall shipping of the Triton, it couldn't hurt you to have a weekend of side-by-side.

The Triton was my first Korg, ever. If you really know it inside and out, then you will find many similarities - Disk organization (PCG, KSC, SNG), Sampling is near identical, so was Sequencing (with the exception of the larger horizontal screen on TRACK VIEW tab). The effects are similar (IFX/MFX), but you have more types and much better routing options in the new system.

AMS options shouldn't be a mystery, as the Triton uses them. If you had a MOSS card, then the new engines will be deep, but conceptually familiar. I was lucky - I had MOSS and bought a second Triton (the Extreme), which came with the free Legacy (MS-20, PolySix, Wavestation synths). When I finally got the OASYS, it was all familiar territory.

I did keep the Tritons for a while, while I had the OASYS, but I eventually sold them both. I miss some of the samples, which I had on a couple of soundcards, and on the Extreme, but Kronos comes with a lot of material (more than the OASYS), right out of the box.

You'll be fine. Download some Trinity, M3 manuals and look at the screenshot of the GUI. They use mostly the same interface.
