The Korg TRITON series of synthesizer workstations was first released in 1999 and became one of the most popular and influential instruments of the 2000s. Now, on the 20th anniversary of its release, Korg has released TRITON 1.0.1, a software synth that faithfully reproduces the original's sound and features.
TRITON 1.0.1 is part of the KORG Collection, a series of software plugins that emulate Korg's legendary hardware synths. TRITON 1.0.1 is a complete reproduction of the original's HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system, which combines high-quality PCM samples with powerful digital synthesis and effects. The software synth was supervised by the original TRITON developers, who fine-tuned every detail to ensure an authentic and accurate sound.
TRITON 1.0.1 comes with over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs, including all of the preset programs and expansion library EXB-PCM cards from the original TRITON. You can also browse sounds by instrument or character using the new sound browser feature. TRITON 1.0.1 also includes an EASY mode that gives you instant access to important parameters, as well as a dual arpeggiator with 307 patterns for creating dynamic phrases.
If you are looking for a software synth that can recreate the sounds that shaped the music of the 2000s, look no further than TRITON 1.0.1 from KORG Collection. You can download a free demo version from Korg's website and try it out for yourself.
TRITON 1.0.1 is not only a software synth, but also a powerful music workstation that lets you create and arrange songs with up to 16 tracks. You can use the onboard sequencer to record and edit MIDI data, or import and export standard MIDI files. You can also use the RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) function to trigger preset phrases or your own patterns on the keyboard.
One of the most distinctive features of TRITON 1.0.1 is the dual polyphonic arpeggiator, which can generate complex and rhythmic patterns based on the notes you play. You can choose from 307 preset patterns or create your own, and assign them to different parts of a combi or a song. You can also sync the arpeggiator to an external MIDI clock or to your DAW.
TRITON 1.0.1 also offers a rich and versatile sound design system that lets you tweak and customize every aspect of the sound. You can edit the PCM samples, adjust the filter and envelope settings, apply modulation sources and destinations, and layer up to eight programs in a combi. You can also add up to five insert effects and two master effects to each program or combi, choosing from 89 types of high-quality effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, and more.
TRITON 1.0.1 is not only a faithful reproduction of the original hardware, but also a modern and versatile software synth that can integrate with your DAW and MIDI controller. You can use TRITON 1.0.1 as a standalone application or as a VST, AU, or AAX plugin on Mac or Windows. You can also use the KORG Software Pass to manage your license and updates.
TRITON 1.0.1 supports MIDI learn, which means you can assign any of its parameters to your external MIDI controller for easy and expressive control. You can also create up to eight custom MIDI controller layouts and switch between them with a single click. You can also use the KORG Collection Control app to access all the parameters of TRITON 1.0.1 from your iPad.
TRITON 1.0.1 has received rave reviews from users and critics alike, who praise its sound quality, usability, and versatility.
