Korg Triton Rack

[A Fak]

I recently sold my triton keyboard to buy the rack instead. But before I do I was wondering if anybody knew if something new from korg was coming out to replace the triton rack? It's been a while since it came out and I don't want to buy it
if there will be something to replace it soon.

dont waste your money on korg, theyre over priced, haha, get a motif, they at least have good sounds and dont charge ya an arm and a leg to endorse everyone in world to play there stuff...my 2 cents

i do however own 1 korg thing, which i think is pretty cool and no one else has anything like it...the kaoss pad

I have both the triton and the motif. Triton has deeper sounds, i.e, fatter. Motif has cleaner sounds. They are both incredible, and, with work, you could probably get really fat sounds out of the Motif, and really clean sounds out of the Triton.

How's that for ambivalence....

If you're recording ONLY, you may want to travel over to the computer forum and look at the various softsynths.

Well NAMM just came and went and the tritons are still going strong. I would expect to see a new rackmount come along sometime, but as long as the tritons are korgs main sellers I dont see them coming out with anything else. The triton rack is already cheap enough where it doesnt really make much sense for them to come out with something like a triton rack "le" ... so I wouldnt worry about it.

Its a cool piece nonetheless...you can stick like 8 sound cards plus a moss board plus scsi and sample ram in it, etc. Wont be worthless anytime soon.

cool thanks for the replys.

By the way i'm getting the triton rack to go along with my motif es rack, roland fantom X rack, and my Proteus 2000 (w\mo phatt,world expo, and pop rom)

That just about covers romplerland. Wait, no Kurzweil??

I really like the sounds in the newer Triton Extreme. However, I've heard of no rack version being released yet.
FWIW keep in mind that the Triton rack more closely resembles the sound engine of the Triton LE.

How would you rate the Roland Fantom next to the Korg and Motif?

Actually I believe the triton extreme is nothing but a normal triton with many of the sound expansions built in. Also its blue with the EXTREME backlit toob that is sure to impress.

I can imagine korg releasing a triton rack extreme, or something along those lines..already expanded and with USB connectivity, storage card slot (floppies, ew), and other up to date goodies...but not this year.

The fantom (to me) is a more middle of the road sounding synth. Covers a lot of the same ground as the triton and the motif, but not to the extremes. The triton excells at lush pads and arpeggios while the motif is great for realistic sounds like pianos and guitars, etc. The roland goes right down the middle, and would probably be my pick if I had to own just one.
