At those prices I'm more than impressed! Bravo, Korg!

Hmmm -

Korg doing a little "Roland-esque" legacy name plundering in a disappointing way ?

these definitely look cool, i could see myself getting another midi controller, its just too bad i already have an m-audio keystation pro 88 (out of production but great hands on control options) and a king korg

i need more of a quneo or something like a launch pad.

Does this have the full Triton synth engine on board? And - is there editing software accompanying it? I doubt it, but if so, this would be a very interesting device.

The manual is published here:

The Triton Taktile [sic] is now the most brain dead version of the Triton engine that exists. Only one timbre. The 512 presets cannot be overwritten. Any changes made to a preset program get lost on power down. It doesn't deserve to be shown in the same video as the Triton Studio. The MicroX and X50 have a more powerful version of the Triton than this zombie abomination.

It doesn't even deserve to be mentioned on the same page as a Triton LE. It should be called the Triton BDE, brain-dead-edition.

I don't know what Korg is smoking, but it's probably oregano and mushrooms. It boggles the mind that someone at Korg approved it.

Hmm, that's not very impressive. Only having 1 part is one thing, but no user patches is crazy

i really think its supposed to be more of a midi controller, i mean i know they have just the midi version, but even the triton model is probably going to get most of its use from the younger generation making jams with a computer.

For that price, you could go buy a second Triton on eBay....

Can it learn the Kronos sysex? Or is it only able to do cc.

I have to say, looking at the Taktile makes me cringe. At least the Micro X (another weird little DAW keyboard) had a full X50 engine in a compact box. This is just another comtroller keyboard looking for a USP...and bolting on some sounds is not it.
Watching the videos you get the impression the players are trying to get something out of it rather than getting inspiration to put stuff in.

I'm not. $500 is too much for a 49-key MIDI controller, even with "bonus sounds" (and that's what they are). Especially one that has the keybed of a Krome (a.ka poor), and:

That's just horrible.

Korg has been on a roll recently with a bunch of great releases, this one is a clunker.

A software recreation of the Triton would have been great.

it's going to be more exciting if it came with the VST version of Triton and make good use of the controller function for editing and realtime control.

What the is wrong with Korg? Why are they Leaving aftertouch off these units? I want fraking aftertouch... They also left it off the kingkorg which I would have bought if it had it.. I personally won't buy a unit without aftertouch. Does it really cost them that much more to include it? Every other keyboard company has aftertouch on their units.. Is there a way to knock some sense into them before these units ship?

Deal breakers - No after touch, not having the ability to save edited user presets, no midi in... With syncing multiple instruments, and this having an arp, its needed to have a tap tempo, tempo adjust and or midi in to sync things.

Certainly not a serious midi controller without aftertouch.

I would buy it if it would learn Kronos sysex, easily! Great for a second set of draw bars. Hell I may be able to do it with my slmk2 but I haven't tried yet, still a controller by Korg that integrates seamlessly with Kronos would win me over.
