Description

The TRITON 61-Key Music Workstation Sampler features the new HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system -- a further advance in the pursuit of expressive PCM sound that captures every nuance of the individual instrument. By filtering and modulating a huge selection of high-quality PCM data and then processing the result in the newly powered-up effect section, TRITON can create everything from the sound of real-world instruments to punchy synth sounds. In addition, TRITON's full-featured sampler lets you record your own samples or load in data from a number of formats to create truly original sounds.

838 Different High-Quality PCM Sounds

TRITON's high-capacity 32 Mbyte PCM ROM contains 425 multisamples including ,organ, guitar and brass -- everything you need for all musical styles -- plus 413 drum samples. From the edgy sounds of dance/techno synth to piano, guitar, brass, strings, and tuned percussion, every type of sound you could ever need is at your fingertips. And TRITON's high-quality 48 kHz sampling rate means that every detail of the character and expressive nuance of each sound is preserved.

brilliant, purchased as a sampler still have it now

I bought this as it had a inbuilt sampler, purchased second hand and I never looked back as it's such a glorious sampler at that! I use it in conjunction with my Yamaha A3000 and have done some really cool live pieces with it!

According to SoundOnSound article/interview, Joe Zawinul had a Korg Triton workstation in his keyboard live rig and in studio. It can be seen on the picture of his keyboard rig in the Accordions In The Forest section, and it's mentioned in the caption.

Joe Zawinul's keyboard rig, set up as for live use: from left, Korg M1 workstation, Clavia Nord Lead synth (underneath M1); Korg Prophecy monosynth and Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 synth; Korg Triton workstation.

The same article also mentions the Korg Triton as part of the studio gear, in "Keeping It In The Family" section, quoting his son Ivan.

The Music Room contains dozens of sound sources, both rackmounted and as keyboards. Ivan Zawinul runs through just a few of them: "Joe's live rig normally stands in the studio room — Prophet T8, Korg Prophecy, Triton, M1, M1R [Ex], Clavia Nord Lead, Roland VP9000, and the Korg Pepe. In the studio he also often uses an 01/W keyboard, Prophet 5, Rhodes Chroma Polaris and Chroma Expander, Overheim Xpander, Korg MS2000, ARP Quadra and 2600. All keyboards, apart from the ARP 2600, are MIDI-fied. The drum machines we use are the Oberheim DX, Alesis HR16, Korg DDD1, Korg Electribe, Korg AR1, and an ARP eight-step sequencer. As far as samplers are concerned, we originally began with the Korg DSS1, and then we had a Korg DSM1, followed by the Ensoniq ASR10, and eventually an Emu ESI4000. Today we use the Triton and the Roland VP9000. We have a Triton for the studio and for live; we have SCSI and hard drives to interchange and swap data. We have an extensive collection of samples, collected during years of travelling and often programmed and layered at home."
