Well, a Triton Le is silver in color. It is good. It has some knobs.. ok, the keys are quite EEe.. but still acceptable.. honestly speaking, most people complain about the editing interface, but I feel it is ok, in fact quite user-friendly. The best part? The category, and the audition button.
Most of the COmbi patches are awesome. All credits to the sound designers at KORG.
Sounds are great... piano... yucks, but well, if you are really after good piano sounds, go get a RD150, or SP200 or the latest P90. Strings are ok. ARPs are IMPRESSive! Basses lack the 'OMmps' somehow... requires editing. Leads are fat, and VERY expressive. Basically, this machine requires lots of editing to suit individual needs. E.g. For me, most of the TRANCE arps patches are too reverbish. BUt if you don have the time, the presets are good enough.
In short, if you want to buy a Triton Le, think about what you wanna do with it. Live gigs will be good; pop/rock/funk/fusion/DANCE/ etc... but not jazz, or anything that requires REAL piano sounds. If you are using it as a controller, forget it. BUy the triton Le for its sounds, its weight, and probably its built-in sequencer. Don't worry about its heavy power supply. KORG wants to make the Triton Le as light as possible, so they made the power transformer external. You can always put the power adapter in another external bag, and carry your triton LE in your gig bag. And honestly, I use to carry a freaking 14+kg trinity around for jamming and gigs. A 7.8kg triton LE is reALLLLY quite light. Remember to get a soft gig bag.
You will love your triton LE.
I can't really find much faults with the triton, except for the keys.. (which can\'t really be avoidable) and the price... (which is slightly steep) BUt honestly, the triton series is one of the most stylish keyboard design i've seen so far. YOu are paying for the art. And trust me, you will look good on stage, playing a triton, than compared to playing probably a yamaha S03 or something... (hah..!)
FIVE of FIVE to my triton LE.
