Korg Triton TR76 76-Key Music Workstation

Triton TR76 76-Key Music Workstation description:

Featuring Korg’s HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis technology, known from the acclaimed Triton family. With 64 MB of PCM ROM containing 470 multisamples and 518 drum samples, the TR 76 is loaded with new sounds that are well-suited for both music production and live performance, including a breathtaking stereo, velocity-switched piano sample. The internal memory offers a total of 512 Programs, 384 Combinations (each consisting of up to eight Programs) and 24 drum kits - plus an additional 128 GM programs and nine drum kits. Two master effects, a stereo 3-band master EQ and one stereo insert effect are available, using 89 different effect types. Effects parameters can be modulated in real time, and can sync to MIDI clock or to the internal 16-track sequencer which holds up to 200,000 notes and 200 songs. Intuitive user interface and real-time controllers including a joystick, two assignable switches and four assignable knobs. A high-capacity (up to 1 GB) SD card storage provides quick saving of user-created Programs, Combinations, Drum Kits, sample data and songs. The TR 76 also offers integral USB MIDI functionality. For live performance and songwriting, the TR's dual polyphonic arpeggiators enable the creation and playback of intricate pitched patterns and drum grooves. Korg's RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) function allows sequenced patterns to be triggered from individual notes on the keyboard -- useful for difficult-to-play passages, DJ-like performance and quick song creation. Sampling can be added to the TR with the EXB-SMPL Sampling option. EXB-SMPL adds two audio inputs with mic/line switching and a variable gain knob, and supports 16-bit/48 kHz linear mono/stereo sampling. The TR 76 offers sophisticated sample editing functions including graphic waveform display (with a BPM note grid), Crossfade Loop, Truncate, Normalize, Time Slice, Time Stretch, Reverse and even Rate Convert. The EXB-SMPL supplies a SCSI interface for connection to external SCSI hard disks and removable-media drives in addition to the large SD card storage capability. The TR76 supports sample data in AIFF, WAV, Akai S1000/3000 (samples and mapped multisamples) and Korg formats. The EXB-SMPL comes standard with 16 MB of sample memory. Users can install a maximum of two 72-pin SIMM memory modules to expand the memory up to 64 MB.
