Korg releases Korg Triton VST

Help I'm falling down a youtube hoooooooooole

[bermudagold]

people forget there was a whole era when the radio was dominated by a workstation keyboard coupled with an mpc....either the ASR-10, triton, fantom, or motif.....
Swizz beatz became a multi millionaire off the trinity/triton alone....laughably rudimentary and simplistic tracks, but the triton horns and synth stabs became his signature sound and ruled the urban/pop airwaves for a few years

horns and real world instruments:





Synth side:



One of the most famous attempts at use of steel pan in hip hop lol....horrible triton world preset

yep....its interesting how the digital music production era has made so many over analyze, over complicate, and overrate everything involved in making music.....
i remember when that grindin song in the blog dropped,....so many producer types were talking about the genius level sound design and craftsmanship of the drums and obsessing over replicating them.....and then the neptunes were basically forced to admit they were a triton preset lol....
and tons of the neptunes sound was simply the microKorg...they said that was their most used favorite tool

Not only Swizz Beatz but people don't realize Pharrel and the Neptunes took famous old drum breaks and just used a gate to replace the sample drum hits with Triton drum kits which is why the Neptunes had such a classic groove to they're tracks but were modern and futuristic sounding at the time.

have you ever seen a software recreation of any analog synth being able to load programs that were meant for hardware.

It seems that you are totally out.

Because many do !

To name just a few among others:

• Dexed (it imports/exports all the Yamaha DX7 SysEx data)
• Arturia DX-7 V (it imports all the Yamaha DX7 SysEx data)
• Arturia Prophet V (it imports all the SCi Prophet-5 SysEx data)
• Roland Cloud D-50 (it imports all the Roland D-50 SysEx data)
• Martin Lüders PG-8X (it imports/exports all the Roland JX-8P SysEx data)
• Audiorealism ReDominator (it imports/exports all the Roland Alpha-Juno SysEx data)
• DiscoDSP Phantom (it imports all the Yamaha DX100, DX27 and DX21 SysEx data)
• DiscoDSP Discovery Pro (it imports all the Clavia Nord Lead II SysEx data)
• Oli Larkin VirtualCZ (it imports all the Casio CZ-series SysEx data)
• Arturia CZ V (it imports all the Casio CZ-series SysEx data)
• Native Instruments FM8 (it imports all the Yamaha DX7 SysEx data)
• Korg (KLC) M1 (it imports all the Korg (hardware) M1 SysEx data)
• Korg (KLC) Wavestation (it imports all the Korg (hardware) Wavestation SysEx data)
• U-He has made a converter tool to import the SysEx in Repro-5
• etc.

This plugin is already a dream come true the way it is.

No.
And yet I generally love Korg (except the prehistoric tiny GUIs of almost all their plugins).

The M3 was weirdly positioned alongside their much more expensive and feature-filled, top-of-the-line Kronos. And then they also undercut it shortly after with the cheaper and feature-reduced Krome. I never understood their thinking with all this...

M3 also came out when software studios had become THE thing. Triton didn’t have that same competition, so I imagine end user perception of them is much more affectionate toward the Triton just by default because it had more room to sell units.

The m3 was released long before the kronos , it was release when the Oasys was their flagship synth

The KARMA is a bitch to work with...

You... hem... work with bitches ?

I wonder if Karma for Triton (from karma-lab) will be usable with the VST.

If you would of read few last posts you would have seen that I have been corrected on this few times, no need to re-correct me again..

It's pretty crazy that if you compare this to something like SampleTank 4, it's half the price, takes a tiny fraction of the disk space (8GB vs 260GB), it's 20 years older, and the sounds absolutely crush SampleTank 4. Weird how old ass tech can sometimes be way better. Some of these Triton sounds are amazing, the keys, strings, brass, and bells stand out for me personally. Tons of usable stuff. Definitely picking this up.

Ha ha! That's exactly what I wrote in much longer (humbly, simply because I like to detail) just a few hours ago.

Tons of nowadays synths are way more featured than 20 or 30 years ago, indeed... but don't necessarily sound that better.

It just goes down to the point that out of the restrictions, engineers took greater care on sound design and playability.
I find it weird that its 8gb big. There's absolutely no way the original Triton had more than 128mb of memory.

"The sounds absolutely crush SampleTank4"-
I'm not a big fan of sampletank4 to say the least, yet I completely disagree with that statement. St4 piano and guitars for instance, are 10x more detailed and realistic than those in triton. The triton is awesome, but its acoustic sounds are very, very outdated and cheesy compared to st4. Theres nothing wrong with that because sometimes an ultra realistic sound is not suitable for a certain production and a "lofi" kind of sound is more suitable..but it doesn't mean it "crushes" anything else more realistic and detailed.

Btw I absolutely salutes Korg for the 20 minutes demo option, I think they are one of the most decent companies these days in the realm of vstis: no renting/expansion packs bullshit, just straightforward fully expanded product with a great "try before you buy" experience. Well done!

Where do people get 8gb from?
The installer is only 260MB.

Actually, the M3R was the tiny rack version of the M1, released little after that, and many years before OASYS.

After the M series came the T series, then the 0x/W series. And no OASYS on the horizon still.

I think the Karma was a Triton with the added technology of Stephen Kay.
