TrinityThe Trinity was a major break-through synthesizer for Korg. It is abeautiful, state of the art and superb sounding music workstation whichfirst appeared in 1995. Its most notable new feature to the synthesizerindustry is the super-cool 320 x 240 TouchView Graphical UserInterface.which is also the heart of the instrument! This workstationseamlessly combines excellent digital sounds, in-depth yet intuitiveprogramming, real-time controllers, upward expandability and elegantdesign to create the perfect all-around synthesizer.The Trinity's sounds come out of a 24MB ROM chip with 48kHzmulti-samples of about 375 sounds and 258 drums. You can even add anexpansion board of sounds and sounds! There's a good digital multi-mode filterwith hi/low/band pass, band reject, resonance and more. There's also 110effects for adding life to your sounds.up to 8 simultaneous inserteffects and 2 master effects.The Trinity has an excellent on-board sequencer allowing it to be thecenter of your music studio.it's that good!
And it's fun to use thetouch-screen. It's a 16-track sequencer with an 80,000 note capacity,100 patterns and 20 songs. With the 32 voices and plenty of drum sounds,you can use the Trinity as your all-in-one music studio! Great in thestudio, or live there are plenty of real-time controllers including aJoystick, Ribbon controller and 2 assignable knobs and multiple soundoutputs. Expandability includes a SCSI port, Internal Hard DiskRecording, 8Mb Flash Rom Playback-Sampler Option (which reads all Korgand Akai sound libraries), Digital ADAT I/O option and the SOLO-TRIProphecy expansion board.
Trinity PlusAnd now for the history. The original Trinity wasreleased in 1995 and had a hefty 24 MB sample ROM though it lacked someof the features described above. Then, in 1996 the Prophecy sounds wereincluded in the Trinity Plus model. Following that camethe Trinity Pro which is basically the same as the Plusbut has a full 76 note keyboard. And if that wasn't enough there'salways the Trinity ProX which has 88 keys!
And then camethe V3 series in 1998 (with its own entourage of Pro and ProXkeyboards). The Trinity V3 added all theguts and glory of the Korg Z1 for even more outstanding musical sounds!The benefit of the Prophecy and Z1 features is MOSS, Korg'sphysical-modeling technique that made the Prophecy famous! The V3 or Z1MOSS board can be added to the older Trinity models. At last it can besaid that the final Trinity is the new, released in 1999. TR-RackA little late to the party, the TR-Rack was a rackmount member of the Trinity familyand was released in 1998. It offered the Trinity's ACCESS technology sound enginein a much more affordable and compact package. It also bumped up the sound ROM to 32 Mbytesproviding twice as many Programs, Combis and Drumkits as the workstation model.The Trinity(s) has been used by Juno Reactor, David Holmes, Antiloop,Dream Theater, A-Ha, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Mike Oldfield, Kitaro,Rick Wakeman, Yes, Vangelis, Yesterdays, Spocks Beard, Alphaville, andMax Martin.
