The plug-in faithfully reproduces the HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system down to the smallest details and contains every one of the vast number of preset programs. Reclaim the true masterpiece sound that characterizes so many hit songs.

A Complete Reproduction of the Hi Synthesis System

The TRITON released in 1999 came with high-quality PCM samples capture at a sampling rate of 48kHz, which was remarkable at the time. It was a monster machine that came with two types of filters, five insert effects, two master effects, and a master EQ, as well as a combination mode allowing for up to eight of multi-timbral parts to be played simultaneously. The KORG Collection TRITON completely reproduces the original’s HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system in software, so you can experience the sounds that shaped the 2000s.

Supervised by Original Triton Developers

For the KORG Collection, sound quality is life. The KORG Collection TRITON, of course, reproduces original PCM samples and effect circuits, but also the subtle sound texture unique to the hardware. To achieve this, TRITON’s original engineers supervised the development process to fine tune the software down to the smallest details.

Over 4,000 Ready-To-Go Sound Programs

All kinds of producers, especially Hip Hop and R&B in the 2000’s, loved the TRITON’s sounds. “Preset sounds that can be used as is” were never fully realized before the TRITON. Even famous producers kept the presets around to help them make highly original sounds one after another. The KORG Collection TRITON comes with every one of the original TRITON preset programs. All eight of the EXB-PCM expansions are included, boosting the number of programs to over 4,000. You can obtain the vast sounds that are ready to go and easy to use to this day.

Sound Browser for Quickly Searching Sounds

When you have vast numbers of preset programs, you might find yourself lost trying to find that perfect sound, wasting time that you could be making music.

These two types of tags will lead you to the sound you are looking for instantly.

The Easy Mode That Gives You Instant Access to Important Parameters

You can quickly access frequently used parameters like oscillator and effect selections, as well as filters and EQ adjustments, making rough edits of sounds and minor adjustments of presets effortlessly.

Full of Ready-To-Go Phrases With 307 Dual Arpeggiator Patterns

The TRITON came with a built-in 16-track sequencer and took the music world by storm as a music workstation that could single-handedly create music. Although the KORG Collection TRITON does not come with a sequencer, it does come equipped with the same powerful dual polyphonic arpeggiator as the original. The 307 types of practical presets, including melodies, riffs, and drum patterns, are incredibly useful for songwriting. The arpeggiator can create endless original phrases by adjusting GATE or VELOCITY parameters. From simple idea sketching to serious music creation, the arpeggiator is a handy tool in any musician’s toolbox.
