Korg Triton, Question About Keyboard Action


Recommended Posts

hey guys. I went down last nite to an org songwrite's home studio and he had one of the biggest Korg Tritons, full 88, big blue screen and that big ass heavy angled stereo Motion Sound KB amp. I said, ole man, never played one of these babies before. He took off the cover and turned everything on and the first sound that popped up on the screen was Stereo Piano. I have never played this board and don't know how to change programs. I pressed buttons and nothing much happened or changed. I wanted to hear some strings, organs, Rhodes and a different piano.

 

But the one thing that threw me, was the keyboard action itself. To me, it just didn't feel right under my fingers, didn't have that bite. It really didn't have a piano touch, nor did it feel like a synth, in a class all it's own. Not really a weighted touch either. It was almost stiff. Is that normal, or was it just that one? And he said when he moves it out for live gigs, IT IS HEAVYYYYYY!!Needless to say, I wasn't inspired and it didn't sound right, like really fill up the room with ambient sound. Then again, I hadn't had time on the rig at all before either. Of course he set it up, but is not a player, only a writer who hires different studio cats to help him do demos and CD on ProTools

 

:cool: I use my Casio Privia 88 and the action on that to me is 1000% better, at least to my touch. before I bought it at GC, I played all the digital pianos on the floor, Rolands, Korg, Yamaha and the Tritons, but they didn't have this one like the studio had. Of all of those, probably the Yamaha had the best touch, but was almost twice as much dough as the Casio, so I bought that and use it as a MIDI controller anyway.

 

Anyone have a big Triton, similar to the one like that studio model I played? Not sure of the exact model number, but it must have weighed at least 100lbs or about that.
