Members uOpt Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 I got a Korg Triton Extreme. Nice keyboard and sounds great and does what I need as a guitarist's sideinstrument. But it seems the built-in UI does not allow sound editing. But what's worse, there doesn't seem to be a computer program provided by Korg either. All I can see is a commercial offering (with a free trial or shareware start). Surely that can't be the state of affairs...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bdub Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 "But it seems the built-in UI does not allow sound editing. " Wut???? Of course it does! Go into program mode then hit the menu button on the right of the screen...it's all in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 Seems like somebody needs to read the effin' manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members uOpt Posted October 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 Manu... what? You mean this is not like programming a Les Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 It can be, if you want to play the sound it comes with... Even with a Les Paul and your amp, if you wanna change the toanz, you need to tweak some knobs and push on some buttons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChipCurtis Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I had a Triton pass thru my studio last year, held onto it for about 6 months then sold it. I've been using Korg synths for decades, and I have to admit the first encounter with the Touch Screen was baffling. I couldn't even figure out how to get it into Edit Mode without having to read the manual. Normally I've always found Korg synths to be quite intuitive to program without a manual, not so with the Triton/touch-screen thingy. Just give me a good LCD readout and some Knobs. If there's going to be a touchscreen, it needs to be bigger, like on an Opensynth Neko. Fiddling around with my huge apeman fingers on a little 3" x 3" touchscreen was too painful.

Members uOpt Posted October 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks, Rich. Well I'm printing the manual as we speak I expect to do better afterwards. Or do I have to read it, too? Good points, Chip. Without reading the manual just poking around I actually ended up thinking there's only the performance edit and this is a unit meant to be programmed at a computer.

I guess there is always an exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
