Korg Trident Image

The Trident is a 3 instrument ensemble type of synthesizer - String, Brass and Synth. Each section has its own unique VCO voice architecture, VCF filter types, and LFO capabilities. It features 8 voices of polyphony and 2 of the instruments can be played while in Split Keyboard mode. A unique effect included is a flanger that can self-oscillate! Flanger controls include Speed, Feedback, Intensity and Manual. It had limited 16 (mkI) or 32 (mkII) patches of memory and there is no way of externally controlling the Trident with MIDI or CV/Gate without modifications. But it sounds very nice and warm and analog. It has been used by Rick Wakeman and Joe Zawinul.

Korg Trident mkII Image

The mkII version had doubled the memory to 32 patches, an independent envelope generator for the VCF filter section and more. The specifications below are for the mkII since it is the more popular and common of the two.
