This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I will never get rid of it! I am in bliss!!! It gives me more than I expected. If it were lost or stolen, I would purchase it again. Actually, I am going to buy another Korg TR (76 key) and another Pa50 (try this unit and you will be amazed) in two weeks.

Sound
The sounds are top-notch. It is a Triton Le improved to the max, being the result a keyboard between the Korg Triton and the Triton Extreme. There is nothing cheesy about it. Even the keybed is much better, very responsive. The sounds are divine if this word can express it properly. You have to hear it to believe it. Nothing beats Korg sounds! I use it as a stand alone unit or with my Korg Pa50 professional arranger and the Korg CX3 combo organ. I celebrated my mother's birthday last Saturday. You should have seen the people we invited. They came up to me and began asking how I could get such realistic sounds. When they heard the organs and saxophones they were looking around in disbelief. Try Bank A, number 21 (Voice Scats). Gorgeous!!!!!!!!

Features
You can program and change arpeggios on the fly. You hear guitars and you cannot believe how realistic and professional they sound. For the price (I got mine for $ 840 ) there is absolutely nothing out there that can compete against it. The vibrato feature with Leslie sim is incredible. Everything is so intuitive and perfect.

Ease of Use
Best interface I have ever seen. It is read more very easy to use with other keyboards. The learning curve is the cat's pajamas. The manual is clear. It is a pleasure to play. I spend hours and hours with this instrument.

Quality
Very well-made. They use plastic and metal. Very good quality. Of course people are supposed to take care of these precious instruments. Anybody who says that you can drop it from a second floor is talking nonsense. It is sturdy, but you protect it with a nice carrying bag. All my instruments are in mint condition, and with a Korg product you are extra careful because it is so GOOD!!!!!!

Value
You do not have to spend over $ 2000 to get top quality. Buy the Korg TR, and you will be the happiest person on Earth!

Manufacturer Support
They are very nice.

The Wow Factor
I got through three divorces because of my love for Korg products! I guess my ex-wives did not understand the beauty of music made with Korg! They were jealous of the sounds!!!!!
