Triton Extreme 61 No doubt about it. This is the TRITON with attitude. The aggressive new TRITON Extreme is bursting at the seams with more of everything that has made the TRITON family the workstation of choice for tens of thousands of performers, producers and musicians the world over. Tricked out with vacuum tube processing, USB audio CD burning and data sharing, CompactFlash data storage, digital I/O and stuffed with sounds, it's everything TRITON - taken to the Extreme. Beneath the cool blue exterior lurks a red-hot 160 MB of clean, crisp 48kHz wave ROM - five times the ROM of the classic TRITON! This massive ROM includes sizzling new samples - expressive guitars (both acoustic and electric), woodwind and brass instruments captured with true natural vibratos, stellar organs, authentic choirs and an all-new concert grand piano are only a few of the highlights. TRITON Extreme also includes the entire sample sets from our best selling Trance Attack, Orchestral Collection and Vintage Archives expansion boards; the best material from our Dance Extreme, Studio Essentials and Pianos/Classic Keyboards collections; and, of course, the complete TRITON STUDIO sample set. From this massive ROM, Korg has created 1,334 programs, 50 drum kits, and 1,280 combinations, each consisting of up to 8 Programs, split, layered, zoned, and velocity-allocated across the keyboard. In addition, General MIDI Level 2 Presets contain 256 programs and 9 drum kits. Adding power to TRITON Extreme's internal sounds is a 12AX7 dual-triode vacuum tube -- a first for a keyboard instrument. Korg's Valve Force circuitry can be used as an insert effect, or applied to the final outputs for added warmth, fullness, and power. External sources can also be sampled through the Valve Force circuitry for a distinctive 'tube' quality. A new Ultra Boost feature pumps up the bottom end of the sound without muddying it. In addition to synthesis capabilities, TRITON Extreme is a 16-bit, 48 kHz sampler. It features Korg's exclusive Open Sampling system, which allows direct access to sampling functions from the Program, Combination, or Sequencing modes, as well as from the Sampling Mode. In Sequencer mode, a unique "In-Track Sampling" function allows external sources (vocals or guitar for example) to be sampled in real-time while a song plays. Sample-editing tools include time-slice, loop, truncate, and time stretch. The Extreme is compatible with .WAV, AIFF, AKAI S1000/3000, and Korg format sample data. AKAI programs can be loaded with their performance settings intact. The standard 16 MB of RAM can be expanded to a maximum of 96 MB using common SIMM chips. Users can also sample and resample directly to CompactFlash, then burn completed songs to an external CD-writer via a USB Port A. This port can also be used to connect various forms of USB storage including hard drives and portable USB Flash drives. USB Port B allows the built-in CompactFlash slot to be accessed by a computer, for easy file sharing. TRITON Extreme features Korg's exclusive TouchView graphical interface, plus a host of Realtime controls, including a joystick, ribbon controller, multi-purpose knobs, and two assignable switches. Inputs and outputs include main left and right stereo outputs, four assignable individual outs, and S/PDIF digital In and Out. Two analog audio inputs with adjustable gain and Mic/Line level switching allow sampling from most sources and access to the internal effects. MIDI connectors and footswitch ports are also provided. The 16-track, 200-song, 200,000-note sequencer offers step time, real-time, looping, and pattern-based recording. SysEx recording allows creative mixdown and effects automation. Song templates and a Cue List are included as well. Five insert effects (102 types), two stereo master effects, and a master EQ effect (89 types) offer a total of eight simultaneous effects. Multiple timbres can be routed to the same insert effect, and effects can be chained. A six voice EXB-MOSS synthesis expansion board is available.
