Korg TRITON 1.0.1: A Software Synthesizer That Brings Back The Legendary Sound Of The Korg TRITON Music Workstation
If you are a fan of electronic music, you have probably heard of the Korg TRITON, one of the most popular and influential music workstations ever made. The TRITON was released in 1999 and featured a powerful synthesis engine, a large touch-screen display, a 16-track sequencer, a sampler, an arpeggiator, and a host of effects and sounds that covered a wide range of musical genres and styles.
Korg TRITON 1.0.1
The TRITON was used by many famous artists and producers such as Depeche Mode, The Prodigy, Daft Punk, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, and many more. It was also featured in countless hit songs, movies, TV shows, and video games.
But what if you want to experience the sound of the TRITON without having to buy or carry around a bulky hardware device? Well, now you can, thanks to Korg TRITON 1.0.1, a software synthesizer that reproduces the sound of the legendary Korg TRITON music workstation on your computer.
What is Korg TRITON 1.0.1?
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 is part of the KORG Collection, a series of software synthesizers that emulate some of the most iconic Korg instruments ever made. It is available as a standalone application or as a plug-in for your DAW (digital audio workstation).
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 is not just a simple sample-based instrument that plays back recorded sounds from the original TRITON. It is a complete reproduction of the TRITON's HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system, which combines PCM (pulse code modulation) samples, digital filters, LFOs (low frequency oscillators), envelopes, effects, and modulation sources to create complex and expressive sounds.
A complete reproduction of the TRITON's HI synthesis system
The HI synthesis system is what makes the TRITON so versatile and powerful. It allows you to create sounds from scratch by combining up to eight PCM samples per oscillator, applying various types of filters and modulation, and adding up to five insert effects and two master effects per program. You can also use the alternate modulation and effect dynamic modulation features to control the sound parameters in real time using the keyboard, the joystick, the ribbon controller, or external MIDI devices.
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 faithfully reproduces the HI synthesis system of the original TRITON, including the 32 MB of PCM ROM that contains over 400 multisamples and over 400 drum samples. You can also import your own samples and use them as oscillators or as sources for the sampler function.
Supervised by original TRITON developers
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 is not just a software version of the TRITON, it is also a tribute to the original developers who created this legendary instrument. The software was supervised by the same engineers who designed the hardware, ensuring that every detail and nuance of the sound and the user interface was accurately recreated.
For example, the software reproduces the distinctive look and feel of the TRITON's touch-screen display, which was one of the first of its kind in a music workstation. You can use your mouse or touchpad to operate the virtual knobs, sliders, buttons, and menus on the screen, just like you would on the real device. You can also resize and rotate the screen to suit your preference.
Over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs
One of the main attractions of the TRITON is its vast collection of sounds that cover a wide range of musical genres and styles. From realistic acoustic instruments to futuristic synth sounds, from classic keyboards to exotic ethnic sounds, from drums and percussion to vocals and sound effects, the TRITON has it all.
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 includes over 4,000 sound programs that were carefully selected from the original TRITON's preset sounds, user sounds, and demo songs. These sounds are organized into 16 categories and eight sub-categories for easy access and browsing. You can also create your own user programs and store them in one of the 512 user memory locations.
Includes all of the expansion library EXB-PCM cards
The original TRITON had a feature that allowed users to expand its sound library by installing optional PCM expansion boards called EXB-PCM cards. These cards added new PCM samples and programs that were tailored for specific musical genres or applications.
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 includes all of the 19 EXB-PCM cards that were released for the TRITON, giving you access to an additional 7 GB of PCM data and over 2,000 sound programs. These include sounds from famous Korg instruments such as the M1, Wavestation, Z1, MS-20, Polysix, Mono/Poly, and more. You can also mix and match sounds from different cards to create your own unique combinations.
Features a new sound browser for quickly searching by instrument/character
Korg TRITON 1.0.1 also features a new sound browser that makes it easier to find the sound you are looking for among the thousands of available programs. The browser allows you to search by instrument type or by character, such as bright, dark, soft, hard, etc. You can also use keywords or phrases to narrow down your search results.
The browser also shows you a preview of each sound program, along with its category, sub-category, bank number, program number, and name.
