"Korg Trident Mark I... The Synthesizer section totally works. The brass section totally works, flanger works, but the strings section has a distorted sound and one note drop-out, which is strange to me because all 8 of the synth's voices are working. The "write" function I was not able to successfully execute, and there is a black wire which has come loose inside near the strings VCF and "preset" board (and also near the "write enable" switch on the rear panel. It is definately a ground wire grounded to/from(?) the Strings VCF/preset board. Since I am not certain where it should go, I have left it alone. Most of the 16 presets are still stored and memory/battery itself must be okay. All keys work, all switches work if not finicky, (except the afore-mentioned write switch), all LEDs are working, etc. Internally sound, with no apparent "work" being done, but could use a cleaning. The Trident is a very warm sounding synth and is capable of many textures and soundscapes when individual outputs are sent to a mixer and panned, etc. The SSM filters inside sound great and with the Korg oscillators, have a similar "woody" quality to a rev.2 prophet-5."
