MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
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 KORG'S BEST SELLING TRANCE ATTACK, ORCHESTRAL COLLECTION AND VINTAGE ARCHIVES EXPANSION BOARDS; THE BEST MATERIAL FROM THEIR DANCE EXTREME, STUDIO ESSENTIALS AND PIANOS/CLASSIC KEYBOARDS COLLECTIONS; AND, OF COURSE, THE COMPLETE TRITON STUDIO SAMPLE SET.

MOUNDS OF SOUNDS
WHEN IT COMES TO SOUNDS, THE TRITON EXTREME IS A TREASURE TROVE, DELIVERING AN OUT-OF-THE-BOX PALETTE OF SOUNDS THAT IS SECOND TO NONE. THE PRELOAD DATA - CREATED BY THE TOP PROGRAMMERS IN THE GAME - INCLUDES AN INCREDIBLE 1,344 PROGRAMS AND 50 DRUM KITS. ADD TO THAT ANOTHER 1,280 COMBINATIONS, EACH COMPOSED OF UP TO EIGHT PROGRAMS, SPLIT, LAYERED, ZONED AND VELOCITY ALLOCATED ACROSS THE KEYBOARD. WE'RE STILL NOT DONE; ADDITIONAL BANKS OF GM LEVEL 2 PRESETS CONTAIN 256 PROGRAMS AND NINE DRUM KITS. LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY: SAY YOU WANTED TO SPEND A MERE 10 SECONDS CHECKING OUT EACH PRELOADED SOUND. BE PREPARED TO ADD SOME OVERTIME TO YOUR EIGHT-HOUR DAY!

UNCHAINED SOUND CREATION HORSEPOWER
TWIN TONE GENERATORS COMBINE TO PUMP OUT A GENEROUS 120 NOTES OF POLYPHONY. KORG'S ACCLAIMED HYPER INTEGRATED SYNTHESIS ENGINE PROVIDES BREATH-TAKING AUDIO QUALITY AND AN AMAZING DEGREE OF SOUND EDITING CONTROL. EACH OSCILLATOR IS PROCESSED THROUGH A MULTI-MODE FILTER AND MULTIPLE ADVANCED ENVELOPE GENERATORS FOR PRECISE SOUND SHAPING. EACH OF THE TWO LFOS OFFERS 21 WAVEFORMS, AND EACH LFO CAN BE SYNCED TO THE ARPEGGIATOR, SEQUENCER, OR TO YOUR OTHER MIDI GEAR. PLUS, YOU CAN BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO YOUR SOUNDS USING 42 ALTERNATE MODULATION SOURCE (AMS) TYPES AND 51 MODULATION DESTINATIONS. SUPERCHARGE YOUR TRITON EXTREME BY ADDING SIX-VOICES OF DSP MODELING (STOLEN FROM THE LEGENDARY KORG Z1) WITH THE OPTIONAL MOSS (EXB-MOSS) AND LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE EATING DUST.

DUAL POLYPHONIC ARPEGGIATORS CAN SPIT OUT MACHINE-GUN CASCADES OF NOTES, HOLD DOWN A GROOVE OR GENERATE A SIMPLE ACOUSTIC GUITAR PICKING PATTERN. 489 ARPEGGIATOR PATTERNS COME PRELOADED.

SIZZLING SAMPLING
WITHOUT EQUAL AS A SYNTHESIZER, TRITON EXTREME IS ALSO A ROBUST 16-BIT, 48KHZ SAMPLER. KORG'S EXCLUSIVE OPEN SAMPLING SYSTEM UNLOCKS THE POWER AND BENEFITS OF SAMPLING FROM EVERY MODE. THIS OPENS THE DOOR TO CREATIVELY RESAMPLING YOUR TRITON EXTREME PERFORMANCES - INCLUDING PERFORMANCES ENHANCED BY THE SEQUENCER PLAYBACK AND THE ARPEGGIATORS. AUTO-SETUP FUNCTIONS AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMIZE MULTIPLE PARAMETERS FOR A VARIETY OF SAMPLING SITUATIONS. BY FAR, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE TRITON EXTREME'S SAMPLING ENGINE IS 'IN TRACK SAMPLING,' WHERE YOU CAN SAMPLE AUDIO DIRECTLY INTO THE SEQUENCER AS IT PLAYS. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS, BUT NOW YOU CAN ADD VOCAL LINES, GUITAR SOLOS AND OTHER AUDIO PERFORMANCES TO YOUR SEQUENCED SONGS! FINALLY, YOU CAN SAMPLE OR RESAMPLE DIRECTLY TO COMPACTFLASH OR MICRODRIVE MEDIA. RESAMPLED SONGS SAVED TO MEDIA CAN BE CONVERTED TO AUDIO AND BURNED TO CD VIA USB.

EXPANDABLE TO 96 MB, TRITON EXTREME SHIPS WITH 16 MB OF SAMPLE MEMORY. SAMPLE MEMORY IS CONVENIENTLY ADDED THROUGH A POP-OPEN HATCH ON THE FRONT PANEL. A COMPLETE SET OF GRID-ASSISTED SAMPLE EDITING TOOLS IS PROVIDED - INCLUDING TIME SLICE, LOOP, TRUNCATE, AND TIME STRETCH FUNCTIONS. TRITON EXTREME IS COMPATIBLE WITH .WAV, AIFF, AKAI S1000/S3000 AND KORG FORMAT SAMPLE DATA. ADVANCED CONVERSION LOAD ALLOWS AKAI PROGRAMS TO BE LOADED INTO A NEW PROGRAM OR MULTI-LEVEL COMBINATION WITH THE FILTER SETTINGS, ENVELOPE SETTINGS, AND VELOCITY SWITCHING PARAMETERS PRESERVED FOR ENHANCED COMPATIBILITY.

EXHILARATING EFFECTS
KORG'S NEW TUBE-DRIVEN VALVE FORCE CIRCUITRY CAN BE USED AS AN INSERT EFFECT OR ON THE FINAL OUTPUTS, ADDING JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WARMTH OR SNARL TO YOUR SOUND. YOU CAN EVEN SAMPLE AN EXTERNAL SOUND THROUGH THE VALVE FORCE CIRCUIT TO IMPART 'TUBE' QUALITY TO THE SOUND. VALVE FORCE HAS PROVEN ITSELF IN KORG'S ESX-1 AND EMX-1 ELECTRIBES. THE ENHANCED VERSION IN THE TRITON EXTREME PROVIDES THAT SAME FULLNESS OF TONE AND ALSO INCORPORATES AN ULTRA BOOST ELEMENT DESIGNED TO PUNCH UP THE LOW END WITHOUT MUDDYING UP THE SOUND.

IN ADDITION TO VALVE FORCE, TRITON EXTREME ALSO DISHES OUT A GENEROUS SERVING OF FIVE INSERT EFFECTS, TWO STEREO MASTER EFFECTS AS WELL AS A MASTER EQ EFFECT FOR EIGHT SIMULTANEOUS EFFECTS. MULTIPLE TIMBRES CAN BE ROUTED TO THE SAME INSERT EFFECT, AND YOU CAN CHAIN INSERT EFFECTS TOGETHER TO CREATE OUTRAGEOUS CUSTOM MULTI-EFFECTS. MASTER EFFECTS CAN RUN SIDE BY SIDE OR IN SERIES FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY. EFFECT PARAMETERS ARE FREELY EDITABLE, CAN BE MODULATED IN REALTIME AND ARE SAVED WITH THE SOUND. INSERT EFFECTS DRAW FROM A DEEP WELL OF 102 EFFECT TYPES, AND THERE ARE 89 MASTER EFFECT TYPES. EFFECTS CAN BE APPLIED TO BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SOUNDS, EVEN AS A SOUND IS BEING SAMPLED. BY RESAMPLING AN EFFECT LADEN PERFORMANCE YOU CAN FREE UP EFFECTS AND USE THEM OVER AND OVER.

WELCOME TO THE USB UNIVERSE
WE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST. TWO USB CONNECTION PORTS OPEN UP A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES. BY CONNECTING A CD-R/RW DRIVE TO USB PORT A, COMPLETED SONGS (ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN RESAMPLED AS .WAV FILES) CAN BE BURNED TO CD AS AUDIO. THIS CONNECTION ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO USE EXTERNAL USB DATA STORAGE UNITS WITH THE TRITON EXTREME. USB PORT B ALLOWS AN EXTERNAL COMPUTER TO ACCESS THE MEDIA IN THE COMPACTFLASH SLOT, ALLOWING YOU TO SHARE FILES BACK AND FORTH.
