Korg Trinity Plus

 

 

or is it not even worth considering anymore?

 

24 meg rom, mono prophecy type sounds in bank m (or is it s?) nice touchscreen and pretty good controllers.

 

one is for sale at a local shop, but the price seems WAY high to me.

 

not too many completed e-bay sales to go by.

799.

i guess i should have called this thread a 'reality check' instead of a price check.

 

does anyone think the trinity is still worth considering when then is so much triton stuff available?

 

does it have any advantages, or is it just a strictly dated, older model?

I haven't played one in awhile--slower operating system than the Triton, but more filter options. And this one has MOSS installed? Nice option. I have MOSS in my Triton.

 

I'd try to talk the price down a bit if you really like it.

It takes time and patience to get things done on a Trinity touch screen. In this case, I think the touchscreen is a disadvantage...but, you know, try it out yourself. Maybe you'll take to it.

 

This is in the price range of used original Motifs, Fantoms, and Tritons, any of which I'd prefer over a Trinity...even expanded.

Close anyway.......I'd look around and see what else is available (used) first. I'm a big comparison shopper, and highly recommend it. You can save a lot of $$$ that way.

$799 is definitely high... but what you might expect to see at a local store that has to pay the rent each month. I can't imagine they would have paid more than $400 for it... likely less.

 

As an option, the Trinity could do some basic hard-disk recording, and also had a SCSI option. Check and see if this unit has these.

 

Some Korg buffs prefer the sound of the Trinity to the Triton, but there's no question that even a "classic" Triton is far more versatile.
