Brass Balls Pawn™: February 2011

The 120-note polyphonic Extreme has 160 MB of 48kHz wave ROM (1,344 programs, 50 drum kits, 1,280 combis) - plus GM2. Sounds include a broad selection of new samples, plus sounds from Korg expansion boards, and the complete Triton Studio ROM. New Valve ForceÂâ„¢ circuitry - an onboard 12AU7 tube - can be used as an insert effect, or applied to the final outputs. External sources can also be sampled through Valve Force. Korg's exclusive Open Sampling system allows direct access to sampling functions from Program, Combi, or Sequencing modes. The Extreme is compatible with WAV, AIFF, Akai S1000/3000, and Korg format sample data. Its 16MB of RAM can be expanded to 96MB using SIMMs. Extreme's USB ports (2) can be used to connect various forms of USB storage, including a CD burner, and also provides computer access to the onboard Compact Flash slot. Extreme features Korg's exclusive TouchView display/interface, plus a host of realtime controllers. I/Os include main stereo outputs, 4 individual outs, 2 analog inputs, MIDI, and S/PDIF. A 16-track, 200-song, 200,000-note sequencer offers step time, real-time, looping, and pattern-based recording. Extreme is also loaded with insert and master effects processing power. It's available in 61- and 76-key synth-action models, and an 88-key version with Korg's RH2 piano-action keybed and progressive graded hammer action.No doubt about it. This is the TRITON with attitude. The aggressive new TRITON Extreme is bursting at the seams with more of everything that has made the TRITON family the workstation of choice for tens of thousands of performers, producers and musicians the world over. Tricked out with vacuum tube processing, USB audio CD burning and data sharing, CompactFlash data storage, digital I/O and stuffed with sounds, itâ€™s everything TRITON - taken to the Extreme
