Description
Docs
The Triton Series can be expanded by the installation of the ultimate DSP tone generator - the 13 oscillator 6-voice MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) tone generator featured on the Z1. This lets you use all synthesis methods Ö PCM, analog, VPM (variable phase modulation), and physical modeling Ö on a single instrument. When the MOSS tone generator is installed, 128 MOSS programs are added. You can create combination programs that use multiple MOSS timbres together with HI sounds.

The MOSS sound generator consists of Voice, EG, and LFO sections. The voice section contains 2 powerful oscillator blocks OSC1/OSC2 which let you combine up to 2 of 13 types of oscillator algorithm (resonance, organ model, electric piano model, standard, ring modulation, VPM, brass model, reed model, and more), a sub oscillator, and a noise generator. The voice section also contains a filter block featuring 2 multi-mode filters that cover the range from analog synth sounds to complex sounds such as the body resonance of violin or guitar, or even human voice. To this are added 5 EG units and 4 LFO units, providing a rich variety of tonal and pitch changes for each voice.

Korg EXB-MOSS Z1-Based Synth Board for Triton Series (6 Voice) Reviews

"Essential for my Triton."
Value:
I have given it an 8, obviously I would have liked it to be cheaper, who wouldn't, but I would say it's value for money.

Desirability:
It's just a circuit board to look at lol

Sound:
I would say that this is without doubt an essential add on for the Triton. It has a warmth that the un expanded Triton lacks, and is very versatile. It excells for pad sounds, and is a killer when it comes to deep, warm, bass.

Overall:
I will use it for life, no doubt about it.

"MOSS Board is worth the Money."
Value:
If you add it to the Triton or Karma you will be pleased with the new world of musical possibilities that will open up to you. It is a good example of sonic viagra!

Sound:
It is one of the best sounding analog/physical model units available. It competes strong against a real analog beast (e.g., Moog, Arp, Oberheim, Andromeda, etc.). Some have said that it does not sound as good as the Z1 but I disagree. I loaded it into my Korg KARMA and it is now a whole new instrument! With KARMA I can get sounds I could never get with the Z1. The only bummer is your limited to 6 voices.
