News from KORG...

Surprise, surprise... I say it's about time Korg laid the Triton to rest. It's been used and abused on countless records across the entire musical spectrum for years. After all, the original Trinity had like 3 versions, then there was a multitude of Triton models ( Classic, Studio,Extreme,LE,TR,etc.). I wouldn't be too shocked to see a Karma II as well. It's been two years since the OASYS launched and I'm sure Stephen Kay has been up to something....

This is definitely shaping up to be the biggest NAMM in awhile for synth players. Too bad we Roland players will have to wait till the 18th to find out... I hope it will be worth the wait because I don't ever remember Roland being quiet on the workstation front for more than a few years while the competition releases all new boards..Not saying they need to, but I wouldn't mind it at all if they did.

...and that is why I'm selling my Triton Extreme. If I were smart, I would wait and sell it AFTER NAMM, because then the prices will probably get a bump. Or maybe not. Who knows anymore? Who would have thought that a TR909 would go for twice what people originally paid for it back in 1986 or whenever it was originally produced...

@ Sammy: I wouldn't sell my Triton Extreme so soon. At least wait til' the 18th because who knows, it could very well be 3 new electribes, 3 new guitar pedals, 3 new recorders, a new tuner and other minor stuff. I plan to play it safe. I'm not makin' a move with my Fantom X6 until I know that a new workstation is coming out, read the specs & hear its sounds, and find out the price..

Be very careful because anything could happen. Sometimes G.A.S. is not such a good thing. Either way, I'm just speculating. I have no clue, but I get the sneaking suspicion that one of the guys from The Keyboard Corner Forum may know something....

if you're happy with the triton, why sell? you should only sell gear that's not really cutting it for you -- not because you've got GAS

I think Sammy has been played by the Big 3 marketing hype

As a retcon for my earlier post, I found out that it was Craig Anderton from Hamony Central that knows what Korg is up to. Don't expect him to spill the beans though because I know there are NDA's involved.

if we see more electribes or keyboards
i hope they lose the midi lookling power supplies
i hate those things
