This synth has an amazing sound. Add the great MOSS/Prophecy expansion board, and you have the deepest programming synth in the business.

The touchscreen interface and the combination of real time knobs is fantastic. The effects are the best in any synth, period. Sequencer mode is very easy to get into and create songs. Efx routing is brilliant.

You can also use the Triton as an effects box for your other gear. It has inputs you can hook any instrument into.

The Triton is also a full sampler, but lacks resampling. It can be expanded to 64 megs, which is good.

The Triton also has a ribbon controller, built in vocoder, dual arppegiators, and 8 real time control knobs plus real time control knobs for tempo, gate and velocity.

Also, every single patch in the Triton is user writeable. Which means that if you don't like a patch, you can create a new one and permanently save it over the one you don't like, or any other one for that matter.

This is one heck of a synth. But here are the negatives:

1. No seperate banks for PCM expansion cards. What were you thinking Korg? In order to get the sounds from the new expansion boards, you have to overwrite existing sounds.

2. No resampling

3. Sequencer lacking sysex and certain retainment of actions.

All in all, the Triton is top notch stuff. Couple a Triton with Moss with something like a Nord lead or acces virus or REASON software and you have a setup to last you for eternity.
