Korg Triton Studio 88-Key Workstation/Sampler
Now comes with a CD-RW factory installed! 16-bit sampling. New 16 MB stereo acoustic piano.
"The best 88-keyboard I've played and I'm PICKY!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
I have a Motif 8 (at work), a Yamaha S80, and an Alesis DG8 (at home). The real hammer effect is WONDERFUL on the T/S 88. It really reacts like a piano. Yet is NOT slow and clumsy. It reminds me of the Motif 8 action but it is heavier in the bass and lighter in the higher notes. When you play the new Piano sample, you forget you are playing an electronic instrument. You actually hear the keys just like when you play a grand. It is sampled from the player's point of view. Cool!I have had varied experience with sequencers and the Korg Triton Studio has the easiest sequencer to use. It is a no brainer!
I give it a four on value because I feel for the price, it should have included a cd-burner. Laptops cost even less and include cd-burner. After shelling out all of that money, you don't want to be nickle and dimed too death: cd-burner, memory upgrade, expansion cards, pedal.
You can't go wrong with this keyboard is you are searching for the ultimate 88 key workstation. If you are a pianist by heart (I am), you will be more than pleased with the realist feel.
If you are making beats and are used to unweighted boards, you may need to use a controller for the drums and other instruments. I midi my MPC and other boards for this.
This is strictly a studio keyboard. Too heavy and delicate to carry around with its touch-screen, hard drive, and cd-burner and over 80 pounds.
I love the MIDI capabilities, expansion options, SCSI included, and multi-saving options: hard drive, floppy, scsi, and cd-burner.
I almost bought the regular Triton ProX but I found after buying the SCSI option, no hard drive, slower operating system, no digital ins and outs, the Triton Studio was a better investment and the expansion options plus included extra piano sounds and new weighted action helped me to make up my mind. This keyboard is wonderful! Buy one today!
"The Triton is the ONLY keyboard you'll ever need."
Feature:
There are so many features loaded into this thing, I couldn't possibly list them all. The only thing it doesn't have is a cupholder. I love the built in sampler; you can sample while you play back songs you've sequenced, and you can edit the soundwave to your liking. The touch screen makes it all so convenient.
Quality:
This thing is built like a tank. It weighs a lot, but it could probably survive a plane crash. It's also pleasing to the eyes, a real attractive keyboard. I especially like the weighted keys; feels like the real thing. My last keyboard lasted me 15 years... I have NO doubt this one will last 30.
Value:
I think it's worth every penny. You get much more keyboard for the money as compared to the other brands out there. You really won't find a better deal.
Desirability:
This is one sexy keyboard. The color, the design, the sound... all of it comes together in a perfect marriage of style and function.
Sound:
The sound created by this keyboard are amazing. The pianos, guitars, strings... all of them sound as realistic as can be. To top it off, you have complete control over the various paramaters of the sounds, so you can alter them to suit your needs. You literally have an infinite number of sounds at your disposal. It's exactly what I've been looking for in a keyboard.
Overall:
I don't think I'll ever need another keyboard. This thing is perfect, and I haven't even added any expansions yet. I think the Triton will finally allow me to create the music I've been hearing in my head for all these years.

"Everyone Must buy this. I've had mine for 4 years now, and i would not trade it for anything!"
Feature:
i LOVED the CD drive that I Purchased Seperately. I use it frequently. It's kind of slow sometimes, but it's worth the wait.
Quality:
AWESOME Quality all around. there's nothing more to say.
Value:
Yes, Excellent Deal.
Desirability:
Its an instrument that has excellent looks although it is a bit bulky, but that was my decision to get the 88 key, and not the smaller ones =)
Sound:
this keyboard has some of the best quality sounds that alot of keyboards dont have. I like how it has a tradidional piano sound that doesn't sound synthetic.
Ease of Use:
It was slightly difficult at first, but if you watch the videos and read the manual it becomes easy very quickly. Its easy to navigate through the menu with the touch screen.
Support:
I've never needed any repairs made to my triton, but dealing with korg the company itself is very easy and customer support is very cooperative.
Overall:
I bought this product because it was the top of the line when i first bought it. In My mind, it still is. Excellent sound quality, no flaws, and easy to handle once you play around with it for a while. This keyboard has more features on it than a space ship and i would not have it any other way. That's what keeps your recording and sound possibilities infinite. I would recomend this product to Anyone in the market looking for a great piece of technology. It practically already paid for its self!

"Exceptional sounds, great quality. A Must Buy!"
Feature:
This product is absolutely feature filled, from the digital touch pad, to the built in cd-burner.
Quality:
The product is very bulky and heavy, and appears to be durable, however, the very bottom wood board looks a bit flimsy, and may be vunerable to damage.
Value:
Considering the technology and work put into the production of this synthesizer. The materials used to put this product together are not cheap, and I beleive that the average retail cost of $3500.00 for this product is very well worth what you are paying for. When you get this product, be prepared to expect more than what you paid for. I was surprised myself..
Desirability:
It deffinately has a sexy look, and feel to it. It has the digital touchscreen, and a lot of other crowd pleasing toys available on it.
Sound:
The sounds created from this device are simply amazing, there were a few proprietary samples that could of been a little better sounding, but overall this machine will still impress!
Ease of Use:
Entry level sound designers will find this device difficult to use at first, however when you purchase the device, it will provide you a detailed video on step-by-step, hands-on training of the product, it also comes with a relatively easy device manual.
Support:
I have submitted a rebate for the Korg MOSS board, have not received it yet, hopefully it will come.
Overall:
I intend on using this product, and only this product for a very long time, I have no intention of purchasing anything else.

"Potentially the last keyboard you'll ever need to purchase"
Expensive? Oh yes. Heavy? My god...yes. Intelligent user-interface and attractive design. It's got those too. I just bought a Korg Triton Studio (88-key) and it's amazing. It hosts an arsenal of sounds and a fantastic array of possibilities. The touch screen makes sequencing and performing much easier than anything I've used before. My only complaints would be the price (but they offer it here for less than you can find almost anywhere), and the fact that a number of the pre-programmed combination sounds, while nice and sonically lush, can only be used for a few things b/c they are so distinctive that you wouldn't want to really put them in your own music for fear that you'll sound like a hack. But aside from that, no complaints. This thing isn't just a keyboard, it is a multi-tasking sound machine--worth the inverstment as it will last for many years. Not something I'd suggest for someone gigging around a lot unless you've got some damn burly roadies.
"Good for anyone"
All I can say is 'wow'. I just got back from the store where I played dozens of different workstations.. and let me tell you, this was the best one.
The three main workstations I wanted to try out were the Roland Fantom, Korg Triton, and Yamaha MOTIF. The Fantom was good, but it didn't have weighted keys and it was difficult to get to different menus quick because you had to use the 'arrow' keys to move around. The MOTIF had weighted keys, and was better than the Fantom (in my opinion). The MOTIF and Triton both sounded better than the Fantom, and they both had (seemingly) more sounds and were easier to move around with.
Then I went to the Triton. The Touch Screen is by far the best and easiest way to move around menus and select things out of any workstations. It's quick and easy to understand. The sounds were good, and the expansion slot where expansion boards go was put right on the top with one screw, and it could hold 7! I then looked at the floppy drive, and below it I saw a slot. For a CD Burner. How useful is that? You can record what you wish, then when you have what you want, just burn it right there onto a CD for listening. Talk about easy.
Anyways, I tried all three multiple times and the Triton was the best by far. I'd recommend this to most anyone, but I don't think beginners would really want to spend the amount of money it costs.

"Best Korg Ever!"
Among other keyboards, I also own a Kurzweil K2500. I was looking to upgrade to a K2600, but was told by a sound engineer friend in Los Angeles to try the Korg Triton Studio 88. This thing is amazing! The only drawback is, it's unbelievably heavy. It's almost as bad as a B3!
""So where is the orchestra sitting?""
Feature:
The most useful feature in my mind was the CD burner. I was able to track a song and give it to the actors to practice with, and that way they knew exactly what to expect on stage.
Quality:
Picture perdect. I fell like I could drop this thing out of a window and it would still come back for more.
Value:
For what you can get out of this product, completely worth it.
Desirability:
It's a silver ketboard, I'm not really sure how to answer this one.
Sound:
I used this keyboard to track two huge stage musicals, it was amazing. Every night I had a least half a dozen people stop me and ask where the orchestra was sitting. When I told them that I was the orchestra, they didn't believe me. I was also able to mix with live musicians beautifully. The only criticism I have is the brass sounds, they don't quite seem as realistic as the woodwind and strings.
Ease of Use:
I'm not the most technologically advanced person, so it took some time to get around it, but once I could it was great. The sound altering pad alows you to brighten or soften anysound on the keyboard, and hold it there hands free, giving the already huge aray of voices, even that many more options.

Overall:
I hope for years to come, I don't want to let my baby go!!!

Korg Triton Studio 88 Customer Review
I loved this keyboard. it's the best Korg Triton has ever made! The moment i sat foot in the store i could tell it was the holy grail of Keyboards.Since i was magnetically drawn to it i started playin around with it. Over the spand of five minutes i began to make beats that, it's that easy.After i made the first instrumental i reallized that the store was closing i spent four to five hours playing with it.
- This is truelly a great Investment. I was about to purchase an Akaimpc 3000, which i have previouslly horded from my brother.But after i Comparred spects and diversity, I realized that purchasing the Akia would be pretty Stupid.The Triton has tons of more capabilities and This is why the Korg deamed it "Triton studio".If u are truelly thinking of purchasing a Keyboard or sampler you should atleast consider the Beastlly machine, it's the God father of keyboards anything else is obsoleite.
