Now with much stiffer competition from the usual suspects, Korg have given some TLC to the mid-price market and come up with the TR.

more like a watered down Triton. :wink:

It reads like a upgraded Triton LE. I've played with every Triton from the classic on up. The best 2 IMO are the STUDIO and EXTREME. USB midi thing sounds interesting but all the rest reads like something they have already done. For me, not enough to warrant a new purchase unless I didn't have a keyboard at all. Then I'd consider, but I'm in love with my touch screen. Now if only they could color on that touch screen.

Quote:64 MB PCM waveform memory is jammed with new sample data and programs, including new dynamic and spacious piano and acoustic instrument sounds.


WOW. 64MB jammed with sample data? Is that a misprint? I got loops bigger than 64MB!
