This is a professional level keyboard that has 88 weighted keys. It can be used by piano students, or teachers. It is one of the most widely used professional keyboards in the music industry because it is so versatile. It has a multi-track sequencer and sampler built in. This means that you basically have a recording studio within the keyboard. You can even record vocal tracks and other instruments into your own sequences and mix them within the keyboard.
This keyboard has had just about three months of use. It has never been moved out of my home. There is no wear and tear from transporting it. I still have the original box.
The Korg Triton Extreme 88 is used in recording studios because so many musicians need such a capable machine to create their music.
Many companies make accessory sound cards and customized sound patches for the Triton Extreme series which means that you will always be able to add more sounds if you need them.
After owning this instrument for three months I added the $600.00 M0SS EXB which means the Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System Expansion Board. This doubled the sound patches on this keyboard to 3000. That's right. This keyboard has 3000 different sounds on it. Plus each of those sounds can be customized to your preference.
Sounds can be modified in real time using several knobs which can be programmed to operate on different parameters.
The original list price of this keyboard was about $3200.00. I then added the $600.00 MOSS EXB.
If you are considering buying a console piano for your home for about the same price, consider that this keyboard has thousands more sounds and can be programmed to do amazing things. It is infinitely more capable than a console piano that has prettier fake wood trim around it. The keys are weighted just like a piano so piano teachers prefer it for their students.
This keyboard can be connected to your home computer for saving your music. It has a slot for storing your music and other creations onto a memory card.
There is a DVD that comes with it to get you started using your Triton Extreme 88.
You don't need to program your own sounds. There are thousands of sounds already built in. There are Steinway, Bosendorfer, Baby Grand, Concert Grand, Honkey Tonk, and many many more piano patches you can choose. There are just as many organ sounds or possibly even more. This keyboard also has many sampled guitar sounds. Imagine playing the twelve string guitar on the song Hotel California. It is a sampled sound and is the sound of a real guitar.

Here is what Korg has to say about their product...
More than meets the eye
Beneath the cool blue exterior of the Korg TRITON Extreme 88-Key Workstation lurks a red-hot 160MB of clean, crisp 48kHz wave ROM - 5 times the ROM of the classic TRITON! This massive ROM includes sizzling new samples - expressive guitars (both acoustic and electric), woodwind and brass instruments captured with true natural vibratos, stellar organs, authentic choirs and an all-new concert grand piano are only a few of the highlights. TRITON Extreme also includes the entire sample sets from the best selling Trance Attack, Orchestral Collection, and Vintage Archives expansion boards; the best material from the Dance Extreme, Studio Essentials, and Pianos/Classic Keyboards collections; and, of course, the complete TRITON Studio sample set.
Mounds of Sounds
When it comes to sounds, the TRITON Extreme is a treasure trove, delivering an out-of-the-box palette of sounds that is second to none. The preload data - created by the top programmers in the game - includes an incredible 1,334 programs and 50 drum kits. Add to that another 1,280 combinations, each composed of up to 8 programs, split, layered, zoned, and velocity-allocated across the keyboard. We're still not done; additional banks of GM level 2 presets contain 256 programs and 9 drum kits. If you wanted to spend a mere 10 seconds checking out each preloaded sound, be prepared to add some overtime to your 8-hour day!
Unchained sound creation horsepower
Twin tone generators combine to pump out a generous 120 notes of polyphony. Korg's acclaimed hyper integrated synthesis engine provides breathtaking audio quality and an amazing degree of sound editing control. Each oscillator is processed through a multimode filter and multiple advanced envelope generators for precise sound shaping. Each of the 2 LFOs offers 21 waveforms, and each LFO can be synced to the arpeggiator, sequencer, or to your other MIDI gear. Plus, you can breathe new life into your sounds using 42 alternate modulation source (AMS) types and 51 modulation destinations. Supercharge your TRITON extreme by adding 6-voices of DSP modeling (stolen from the legendary Korg Z1) with the optional MOSS (EXB-MOSS) and leave everyone else eating dust.
Dual polyphonic arpeggiators can spit out machine-gun cascades of notes, hold down a groove, or generate a simple acoustic guitar picking pattern. 489 arpeggiator patterns come preloaded.
Sizzling sampling
Without equal as a synthesizer, TRITON extreme is also a robust 16-bit, 48kHz sampler. Korg's exclusive open sampling system unlocks the power and benefits of sampling from every mode. This opens the door to creatively resampling your TRITON Extreme performances - including performances enhanced by the sequencer playback and the arpeggiators. Auto-setup functions automatically optimize multiple parameters for a variety of sampling situations. By far, one of the most important features of the TRITON extreme's sampling engine is in track sampling, where you can sample audio directly into the sequencer as it plays. The possibilities are endless, but now you can add vocal lines, guitar solos, and other audio performances to your sequenced songs! Finally, you can sample or resample directly to CompactFlash or Microdrive media. Resampled songs saved to media can be converted to audio and burned to CD via USB.
Expandable to 96MB, TRITON Extreme ships with 16MB of sample memory, which is conveniently added through a pop-open hatch on the front panel. A complete set of grid-assisted sample editing tools is provided - including time slice, loop, truncate, and time stretch functions. TRITON Extreme is compatible with WAV, AIFF, AKAI S1000/S3000 and KORG format sample data. Advanced conversion load allows AKAI programs to be loaded into a new program or multilevel combination with the filter settings, envelope settings, and velocity switching parameters preserved for enhanced compatibility.
Exhilarating effects
Korg's new tube-driven Valve Force circuitry can be used as an insert effect or on the final outputs, adding just the right amount of warmth or snarl to your sound. You can even sample an external sound through the Valve Force circuit to impart "tube" quality to the sound. Valve Force has proven itself in the ESX-1 and EMX-1 Electribes. The enhanced version in the TRITON Extreme provides that same fullness of tone and also incorporates an ultra boost element designed to punch up the low end without muddying up the sound. In addition to Valve Force, TRITON Extreme also dishes out a generous serving of 5 Insert effects, 2 stereo master effects as well as a master EQ effect for 8 simultaneous effects. Multiple timbres can be routed to the same insert effect, and you can chain insert effects together to create outrageous custom multi-effects. Master effects can run side by side or in series for maximum flexibility. Effect parameters are freely editable, can be modulated in realtime, and are saved with the sound. Insert effects draw from a deep well of 102 effect types, and there are 89 master effect types. Effects can be applied to both internal and external sounds, even as a sound is being sampled. By resampling an effect laden performance you can free up effects and use them over and over.
Stay in Control
How do you rein in a beast with this much power? In addition to its mighty and intuitive TouchView display panel, TRITON Extreme provides an array of unique realtime controls, including a joystick, ribbon controller, and 2 assignable switches. 4 realtime control knobs can switch between Valve Force parameters (input trim, ultra boost, tube gain, output level), sound editing functions (cutoff, resonance, EG-intensity and release), or any 4 parameters of your choice - including controlling external MIDI gear. The back panel accommodates multiple pedal types that can be assigned to a variety of functions.
Beyond sequencing
TRITON Extreme is one daring and dangerous performance instrument, and it's also an amazing compositional tool. 16 tracks, 200 songs, and 200,000 notes are just the beginning. Step time, real time, looping, and pattern-based recording modes allow you to capture your musical ideas your way. Sequencing is so much more than just record and playback, and TRITON Extreme delivers the tools you need to polish your songs into gemstones. Quantize functions tighten up your timing or add swing to a steady beat. 24 tone adjust parameters let you quickly edit the timbre assigned to any track without exiting the sequencer, and leave the original program untouched. Sys Ex recording allows you to automate your mix in new and creative ways — muting tracks, soloing others, loading new effect programs during different sections, and more. TRITON Extreme also uses song "templates" to give you a head start when laying down tracks. Each template assigns timbres to each track, assigns and routes effects, and can even offer up a variety of rhythm patterns to get you going. 16 song templates, each tuned to a different musical style, are preset and you can also create 16 all your own, eliminating repetitive steps when you want to get your ideas down.
If you'd like to work on your masterpiece in smaller chunks, you can compose individual songs for the verse, chorus and bridge etc.; the cue list function allows you to string these individual parts together. Once you have decided on the right order - and you can try a number of versions - simply convert the cue list into a single song. You can also create your hits from even smaller building blocks. With Korg's realtime pattern play and record (RPPR) function, short sequenced patterns can be assigned and played back from individual keys on the keyboard.
Behind the scenes muscle
Its not just what's up front that counts. The TRITON Extreme's back panel is decked out with all the trappings a modern synth should have. In addition to the main left and right outputs, there are 4 assignable individual outputs to send your sound where you want it. 2 audio inputs with adjustable gain and mic/line level switching allow you to sample from a wide range of sources, as well as access the internal effects. Digital in and out is provided in S/PDIF optical format. Here you'll also find the CompactFlash media slot, MIDI connectors, and the damper/footswitch/footpedal jacks.
Welcome to the USB universe
We saved the best for last. 2 USB connection ports open up a world of possibilities. By connecting a CD-RW drive to USB Port A, completed songs (once they have been resampled as WAV files) can be burned to CD as audio. This connection also allows you to use external USB data storage units with the TRITON Extreme. USB Port B allows an external computer to access the media in the CompactFlash slot, allowing you to share files back and forth.
EXB MOSS $600.00 comes already installed with this keyboard.
EXB-MOSS DSP SYNTHESIZER BOARD
The TRITON series, TRITON Rack and Karma Music Workstation can be expanded by the installation of the ultimate DSP tone generator --- the 6-voice MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) tone generator featured on the Z1. Equipped with 13 oscillator algorithms, the MOSS expansion board lets you use all synthesis methods --- PCM, analog, VPM (variable phase modulation), and physical modeling --- on a single instrument. When the MOSS tone generator is installed, 128 MOSS programs are added. You can create combination programs that use multiple MOSS timbres together with HI sounds.
MOSS (MULTI OSCILLATOR SYNTHESIS SYSTEM)
The MOSS sound generator consists of Voice, EG and LFO sections. The voice section contains two powerful oscillator blocks OSC1/OSC2 which let you combine up to two of thirteen types of oscillator algorithm (resonance, organ model, electric piano model, standard, ring modulation, VPM, brass model, reed model and more), a sub oscillator, and a noise generator. The voice section also contains a filter block featuring two multi-mode filters that cover the range from analog synth sounds to complex sounds such as the body resonance of violin or guitar, or even human voice. To this are added five EG units and four LFO units, providing a rich variety of tonal and pitch changes for each voice.
MOSS SPECIFICATIONS
Sound Source: 6 voices, 2 oscillators (max.) + sub oscillator + noise generator Oscillator Types: 13 (Standard, Ring Modulation, Cross Modulation, Oscillator Sync, VPM (Variable Phase Modulation), Comb filter oscillator, Resonance oscillator, Organ model, Electric piano model, Brass model, Reed model, Plucked string model, Bowed string model) Programs: 128

The Sonor Force 2007 Series is designed for advanced drummers who do not want to sacrifice any of their musical freedom. The 9-ply birchwood shells are the superb foundation for Sonor Force 2007 Sets. A hefty and dynamic sound, with accentuated mid-ranges and highs, and defined lows, are the hallmark of these shells. With the high-gloss-lacquered natural wood surfaces, the Sonor Force 2007 drum set really puts itself into the limelight.
The amp has never been gigged with, I only use to jam with friends once or twice a month at the most. I have other/newer Mesa amps that I prefer to play and so I don’t really need the DC-3 anymore, it’s more of a convenience rather than a necessity. It’s a great little amp with lots of volume, although it is heavy.
