Back in 2007, this lightweight powerhouse brought the legendary Triton HI synthesis engine to a portable 61-key package, making pro-level sounds accessible without breaking the bank or your back.
At its core, it packs a 64MB PCM ROM with 470 multisamples and 518 drum kits, sampled at 48kHz for rich, detailed tones across 512 programs and 384 combinations. You get 62-voice polyphony in single mode (dropping to 31 in double), dual LFOs, filters, and a robust effects setup with 89 types across four processors: insert, two masters, and a 3-band EQ—all running simultaneously. Hands-on control comes via four realtime knobs for tweaking filter, EG, arp, and effects, plus pitch/mod wheels, a category search system, audition riffs, and dual polyphonic arpeggiators that shine in combo or multi modes. The slim black chassis measures 975 x 257 x 80mm and weighs just 4.3kg, with velocity-sensitive synth-action keys, 4x quarter-inch outs (main stereo plus two individuals), dual headphone jacks, damper support, and USB/MIDI for DAW integration and editor software.
Players love its vast, categorized sound library and gig-ready portability, often calling it a Triton Extreme lite that holds up in live sets or studios. That said, some note the keys lack aftertouch and feel a bit light on resistance, better for quick jams than heavy action fans.
