Specifications for the Korg Triton LE

The Korg Triton LE music workstation can be played like a normal keyboard if desired.

The Korg Triton LE is a music workstation. It features a HI (hyper integrated) synthesis system to generate sound in response to the keyboardist's actions. The HI synthesis system has tone generation, filter and effects sections. As a music workstation, the Korg Triton LE also features a sequencer and real time pattern play and recording.

Tone Generator

The Korg Triton LE contains 425 "multisamples" and 413 "drumsamples" as part of the HI synthesis system built into it. The workstation has polyphony support for 62 voices. This means the Triton LE can play 62 separate notes simultaneously.

Filter Section

The filter section of the Korg Triton LE contains a 24 dB/oct low pass resonance filter and a 12 dB/oct low pass and high pass filter. This is a feature that will be more useful for more advanced music workstation users. The filters give a significant amount of tone control to the keyboardist.

Effects Section

The HI synthesis system in the Korg Triton LE contains 89 different types of effects. All of these effects can be edited by the user as desired. A total of four effects can be used simultaneously with this music workstation. The four effects consist of one insertion effect, two master effects and the three-band equalizer.

Sequencer

The Korg Triton LE comes with a 16-track MIDI sequencer. This is the central feature for its status as a music workstation rather than a keyboard. The sequencer can be used to create a multi-track song within the memory of the sequencer. For example, the user can use the keyboard to program a drum track, bass track and keyboard track into the workstation. The sequencer can layer the three tracks onto each other. The three tracks can then be played back on the sequencer, creating a song with drums, a bass and a keyboard.

Real-Time Pattern Play and Recording

The real-time pattern play and recording (RPPR) function is a useful feature of the Korg Triton LE. Normally, a single note is played each time a key is pressed on the keyboard. The RPPR function allows the user to assign a pattern to a keyboard key from the sequencer. The key will play the programmed sequence when the key is pressed. This can be effective during live performances for playing keyboard parts designed for two or more keyboards, which would typically be impossible for a single keyboardist. The RPPR key can be used to have the Korg Triton LE automatically play one keyboard part from the sequencer while the keyboardist plays the other part on the keyboard normally.
