Back in 2007, this little powerhouse crammed the essence of Korg's legendary Triton workstation into a featherweight 25-key package, delivering pro-level PCM sounds without the bulk.
At its core is a 64MB PCM engine with 62-note polyphony, dual oscillators per voice, filters, three envelopes, and two LFOs for deep sound design—layer them into 640 programs or 384 combinations, complete with 40 drum kits and a full GM set. Twin independent polyphonic arpeggiators offer 256 patterns that respond to your playing, from pulsing sequences to full drum grooves triggered by a single key. Hands-on control comes via four assignable knobs (with three banks for filter, amp, arp tweaks), a backlit LCD, velocity-sensitive keys, and monophonic aftertouch transmission, plus 89 effects like Talking Mod and Doppler across three slots per patch. Outputs include stereo main plus two individual channels, MIDI In/Out, and USB for editor integration or DAW control; it's just 2.4kg and 606x226x80mm, though no battery power.
Players loved its polished, inspiring presets—rich pianos, fat basses, sublime strings, and creative arps that spark ideas fast. The sounds feel thick and immediate, outshining many soft synths, with easy tweaking via knobs or software. Some noted the lightweight build runs warm and the short keyboard limits chords, but its portability and fun factor won hearts for gigs and home rigs.
