Axwell

Videos of Axwell's studio show a Korg Trinity which he uses as his primary MIDI keyboard controller. It's unclear whether he actually uses sounds from it in his productions - though it's unlikely.

The 01/W was just invaluable. I wrote so much in hotel rooms all over the world. Then I got the Trinity when it came out, and I started using that more than the 01/W.

Derek Sherinian

An historic KORG product, which Sherinian used (and still uses) since its launch in the world market in 1996. He made this keyboard famous mainly due the "Monster Lead" patch, a signature synth lead patch thought and programmed with the help of a KORG sound technician, Jack Hotop. His official website, which has a page listing his gear, says, "The Leopard Room is anchored by a Mac G3 running Digidesign's Pro Tools 5.0. The Pro Tools rig is the way to go for me, Derek enthuses. The flexibility of this system is awesome. The core synths in Derek's jungle are a Korg Trinity and Z1..." Original source [here](http://www.dereksherinian.com/gear-studio.html).

"Cubase for sequencing, and up to Timesplitters Future Perfect, I used an Akai S6000 sampler, Novation Supernova 2, Access Virus Rack XL and a Korg Trinity Keyboard. Pretty old school by today's standards."

5 Korg Trinity Synthesizer Reviews

Trinity Pro 76. Awesome and beautiful!

Yes it is old today, but it has so wonderful synth pads and sounds. I'm not a fan of acoustic sounds (I get them from other sources) so I only focus on synth sounds, pads, textures when it comes to hardware synthesizers and romplers.

The Trinity has such a nice and comfy keyboard. The world's first synth with a touch screen which is bright and clear.

My first ever pro synthesizer and all time favourite.

This was my first professional synthesizer I got in 1996.... I spent a lot of time with it as my primary synth and explored deeply all its features. Excellent keybed with aftertouch and the left hand controllers (joystick+ribbon+sw buttons) support expressive playing style. It is surprising how many sounds stacked in just 32 MB of PCM ROM. The "plus" version has a built in monophonic synth (KORG prophecy) engine, which I did not use a lot as I had external VAs for this purpose. Today it might look dated - especially the slow B/W LCD touch screen.. but still, you can get very professional sound by tweaking the parameters, and understanding the way its constructed. I recommend to replace the floppy drive with an USB emulator. Strength of Trinity in my opinion: digital synhts/drums/basses; multi-effetcs engine (better than in the later TR or Triton-LE series!), sequencer; sub-outputs; joystick+ribbon - very expressive! Professional keybed. Space-ship look design :) I think the most beautiful digital synth ever made.

90s powerhouse, 10s' classic

I acquired a fully decked out Trinity Plus back in late April 2019 and haven't been able to put it down since. Korg ABSOLUTELY struck gold with this one! The 24-bit/48khz sounds are rich and vibrant, the keybed is very fun to play, and the built-in patches are top notch. Even the somewhat dated acoustic sounds are usable now with some treatment, depending on how you apply them. Highly recommended.

The silver beast.

It´s 20 years old now, but still rocks. I use it mainly for synth sounds: it can get fat or it can sparkle, always with an impressive audio clarity. The Prophecy expansion board is outstanding: it´s basses and dirty leads are HEAVY. Overall, Trinity is extremely well built, with well laid controls and an excellent semi-weighted Yamaha keybed (mine is 61 keys).

A bit surprising vintage synth

Korg Kronos' little brother..? If not, it's still the funniest synth I've ever had.
