First off, I hated Korg products between the wavestation sr years to the beautiful and indomitable Z1. The z1 was discontinued so I tried the Triton thrice before breaking down and buying it.
The only reason I bought this keyboard was bang for the buck with ext. audio ins, sampling and the ability to make your own arp patterns (even though I play well enough to never need arpeggiators but I'm sure I'll fool around with them in the not too distant future). I've had it for a few months now and everything is exceptional except for the non-swing quantize option and there doesn't seem to be an undo function on the sequencer(!?!).
Other than that, it's a most excellent piece of equipment and should be the bench mark for future workstations from other companies. To the lack of support comment preceeding this post, I say if your looking for new sounds then sample some from the net/records, doll em up in a wave editor, drop it on disk and load 'em into the triton. Perhaps, get the Moss board for more sound options or the expansion boards. The architecture is fairly open ended and the sampling alone safeguards against the inevitable 'obselete' syndrome I dread when making a purchase of this nature. Thus, rendering those other VAs useless, dated, ineffective cash guzzlers down the road. The efx are good and the master efx aren't just stuck on Chorus and Reverb. What more do you want?
The only thing I can think of to include in the v2.1 update would be 3 dimensional sound, granular synthesis, or perhaps jpg to sound conversion software. In my humble opinion there is nothing else to be done except for adding 5 efx for all 16 tracks respectfully and internal resampling.
Kudos, applause and accolades to Korg for a job well.
