Feature:
It has no pre-installed sampling card, but I don't consider such a feature as a core feature for a music workstation. It is great that you can add this feature if you require it. The materials used seem to be of excelent quality.

Quality:
I know many musicians that own this instrument and all them agree that is a hard piece.

Value:
Search, compare, and if you find more for less, but it!

Desirability:
A superb keyboard with an integrated sequencer, a professional look and an impresive sound. Wouldn't you want it?

Sound:
The quality in live performance is amazing. The control can only be described with one word: intuitive. It always sounds as expected, and when not, you always get some good surprise.

Ease of Use:
A touchable screen would have been highly desirable. The rest of the human interface is simply perfect.

Support:
Excellent support

"This is a great instrument but it will be great if Korg gives us a new Triton with more programs and combinations than the LE or"

Feature:
Go inside the system, Needs nothing from the outside.

Quality:
No problem here.

Value:
A lot of great features for the price.

Desirability:
I do not give a damm for looks.

Sound:
Great sounds but only a few are new. Most come from LE and Extreme.

Support:
Really poor in Mexico City.

Overall:
The Triton series will last for at least another five years, after that, hopefully we will have something new that will offer things we can not imagine now, and at a reasonable price.

Feature:
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.

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!

Desirability:
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!!!!!

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!!!!!!!!

Ease of Use:
Best interface I have ever seen. It is 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.

Support:
They are very nice.

Overall:
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.

Feature:
Not bad, but only 1 insert effect killed it. Everything else seems nice.

Quality:
Plastic. Nothing you can't live with.

Value:
You can't upgrade except for the sampling board which should have been standard.

Desirability:
it's OK. Not spectacular, but what do you expect with a system cheaper by 1000. It's not a fantom X

Sound:
I give it a 7 because it has alot of rooms for improvement for it to be the newest from korg. Maybe I am spoliled by the motif real sounds, but it need to be expandable and if not at least 100mb plus sounds stock would have made this board a little more satisfying. If you think about it that's what korg did with the extreme with 160mb worth of sounds.

Ease of Use:
Too many navigation. Simplifying a simple screen would have been a plus for the TR.

Support:
I had to get support when I used to own my extreme. They solved it quickly.

Overall:
I give an 8 out of 10. Only one insert effect, no sampling card pre installed, and not expandable.
