Dave Bryce Posted March 31, 2001 Share Posted March 31, 2001 why was it so popular? It wasn't. When Korg came out with the Trinity, it had two major strokes against it: 1) Alesis, Roland, Yamaha and others all had 64 voice synths out, and the Trinity only had 32 voices...if I remember correctly, the first ads didn't even mention the polyphony at all. It was severely challenged by Roland's XP series on one side (people who wanted workstations), and Alesis' QS series on the other (people moving away from workstations and into computer sequencing). 2) The touch screen was ridiculously slow, especially for simple things like program change. You actually had to stand there and wait a few seconds for it to change programs! http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/angry/1shifty.gif Later versions of software addressed this problem, but it was kinda too late...first impressions can be very important. There were other reasons as well, but I believe that those were the main ones. Trinity enjoyed mild popularity in a few markets, but by and large it never really lived up to its expectations. The Triton has more than made up for it, though... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
