MusicRadar verdict: It’s a Triton, fully recreated in software and it will cover as many bases (and basses) as the original. So if you need a one-plugin-fits-all solution for a huge variety of genres, with some classic dance piano sounds to die for, and feel like taking a trip back a couple of decades to that crazy (well, depending on what you made of it) decade, then Triton has all you need… and much, much more. In fact, by the end of this review, we were starting to feel that there is simply so much on offer that the single-purchase price tag is not so over the top after all – SampleTank can cost more, and Roland’s Cloud subscription does mount up. Where other products like this can feel bloated, Triton most certainly doesn’t. You can tell the original developers were supervising Triton, as it easily delivers all of that history, over 4,000 sounds and all of that original architecture behind a great interface. Certainly a decent DAW’s suite of plugin instruments will cover a lot of what Triton does, albeit not with quite as much pizzazz, nor within the beautiful soft shell that Korg have created here.Īnd on that, Triton does seem to have achieved what a number of recent releases have attempted, with the confidence that only a company with this kind of heritage can muster. Roland synths and workstations on subscription in software, offering both analogue and digital sounds.Īs we’ve already said, Triton is not a cheap purchase, so you might want to try that 20-minute demo out and, of course, make sure that your existing instruments don’t already cover a lot of its bases. If anything using these classics in your DAW, makes programming them far easier than the original hardware.Ī huge amount of real and synthetic sounds in the ultimate software ROMpler. It’s a simple and elegant system that reminds you, yet again, why using classic synths from the 90s, so laden down with menus and sub menus, can be such a delight to now use on a computer screen. You can get an overview of each sound’s architecture by hitting the Easy button, which gives you a succinct picture of the Osc, Pitch, Amp, Filter, Envelope, Effects and Arpeggiator settings, or delve deeper into each by pressing the relevant button to the top right of the UI. Homing in on the sound you want here – or getting lost on a sonic time-travel trip – really is as easy as child’s play As to the results, well, we’ve tried to sum it all up to the right, but you won’t be disappointed with the sheer depth and width on offer. Homing in on the sound you want here – or simply getting lost on a sonic time-travel trip – really is as easy as child’s play.
It simply lays out all of the sounds into categories – divided into a dozen Instrument or Character sections – or by the Expansions, with the original artwork shown to click through. Understandably, a lot of new tech comes to the party as well, including a software browser to help get you through all of those sounds, and next to the nostalgic feeling of getting access to these Korg classics, is probably the biggest highlight. Triton was developed as an exacting replica of the hardware, including the HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system engine at its core, its 8-part multitimbral architecture (where you can play eight different sound combinations, or just huge performances), effects and 4,000 sounds that cover all of the original eight expansions that include Vintage, Orchestral and Trance collections.
