Features and functionality

  • The PBS-TRI kit includes a daughterboard with flash memory and RAM chips, expanding storage for custom patches rather than providing new sounds.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Ensure RAM chips are correctly oriented with the dot lined up with pin 1 during installation to avoid issues.

    Source
  • RAM chips installed backwards will not function; careful alignment is crucial to prevent pin bending.

    Source
  • Installation guidance can be challenging to find online, requiring careful attention to chip orientation and socket placement.

    Source

Other

  • Existing owners suggest loading new presets from disk after installation, as additional banks will be blank.

Critic Reviews

Korg Trinity Plus: Part 2

soundonsound.com

While the Korg Trinity Plus boasts impressive MOSS synthesis capabilities and an intuitive interface, it isn't without its flaws. The integration of the Prophecy expansion board elevates its sound palette, offering rich textures and effects. However, the absence of the arpeggiator and limitations in output options detract from its overall versatility. The user interface, while improved, can still hinder precise programming due to the screen's size. Ultimately, the Trinity Plus is a powerful workstation that meets many needs, but it falls short of perfection, making it a solid choice with some caveats.
