Korg Trident Mk1

MrFirechild

"Here is a track using sounds only from the Korg Trident Mk1 from 1980. A very cool machine combining a fully programmable and real eight voice polyphonic synthesizer with a divide down section with brass and strings. Built in Flanger completes this classic synthesizer. From being somewhat forgotten in the early 2000 it is now pretty sought after with its great sounding SSM filters.
The track is called Open Your Eyes.
Composed and produced by www.firechild.se"

Switched On Austin - Synth studio & store tour | Austin, TX

https://www.switchedonaustin.com

A synth studio and store tour of Switched-On in Austin, Texas -- including the Switched On synthesizer showroom, walk-through of the Switched On synth store and brief highlight of the synthesizer repair area.

During a trip to Austin in early 2020 I had a chance to revisit the Switched On synth shop I first toured in 2018 [video bellow]. Switched On have since moved from their original location to a new spot and are under new ownership, so it was a great opportunity to see the new synth store.

This synth studio and store walkthrough showcases Switched On's extensive record collection, tape machines, various synthesizers, modular gear, classic vintage synths, rack units and more. To learn more about Switched On, visit https://www.switchedonaustin.com

Korg Trident Synthesizer Brass String Machine SN 331819

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Condition is excellent for a 40 years old synth, shows a few splinters in the wood here and there but overall great shape for its age. Good: All keys work. All buttons and knobs work well, some scratchyness in some but would be cleaned up from a good cleaning. The "write program" button doesnt seam to work but maybe Im missing something.. Not so good: tested it out on a tuner last night, the lower two octaves show about from 5-10 cents flat, one was closer to 15 on the tuner, seems to be on par with a synth this old from what I hear but being the bass notes its harder to hear the pitch being out.. I would assume some capacitors on the synth probably need to be changed now or in the future due to its age, which might “tighten” it up. The headphone out works great but the mix out seems to be finiky sometimes but messing with the plug seems to work, probably another deep cleaning needed issue, the direct outs from each of the voices work well from what I can tell. With that all being said, understand this is 40 year old board and there might very well be issues arising that Im not aware of or noticing at the moment or will happen in the future so this board is being sold as is. Purchased 2 years ago from Tokyo Japan, comes with Korg road case with casters, Im assuming thats original from 1980. 100V but works well on American 120V but keep that in mind, theres conflicting opinions about analog gear being 'ok' with that small of a difference, Ive had a couple other old synths and it wasnt a problem."

Curious if the tuning issues are related to the power discrepancy.

"Today we take a look at the Crumar Multiman-S, an Italian string synthesizer from 1977.

We also look at the concept of a string synthesizer in general; an instrument that served as a stop gap, but that forged its own identity due the distinctive sound and the records they were used in.

Originally conceived by Ken Freeman, others saw the impending gold rush and got their instruments out. When I say there was a 'string synth heyday', I'm not exaggerating. Here's a list of just some of them:

"This Korg Trident MKII has been completely refurbished by a technician with the original battery repaired, and all main board electrolytic capacitors replaced. All knobs, buttons, and keys are working perfectly and all voices are tuned and calibrated.

This is one of the classic 2-oscillator golden age analog synthesizers that there is no comparison to, except other classics of the era. 16 total VCO's into SSM filters with lush BBD string ensemble and extra brass section, along with a beautiful flanger that can be applied to any section. The keyboard simply sounds majestic!"

Korg Trident MkII w/ Original Tape Cassette

"This is a beautiful sounding synthesizer--it's been called Korg's Jupiter-8 and this is not an overstatement. With the synthesizer section alone you can pull up anything from classic brass pads to the snappiest Kraftwerk zaps (the envelopes are SERIOUSLY fast--1 mS attack time). And then you add the brass and string sections, and throw on the amazing vintage flanger and you are in the instant Carpenter soundtrack zone."

"Original vintage c 1970’s korg delta analog string synthesizer in excellent working condition. The delta is a chilled out version of the heavier trident, with huge string pads ala arp solina ensemble, and a polysynth section that can be blended with the string section, or used via separate outputs, ala Moog opus 3. The delta also notably features a super cool joystick controller for pitch and modulation."

"Scarce factory sound patches on cassette for the legendary Korg Trident mk.II. Real analogue goodness from the early 1980's!

As I have never used this cassette to restore sounds onto a Trident (I wish!), I cannot comment on the how well it works. I have played it through on each side and heard the expected screech of data, so I have no reason to think why it shouldn't work. Still, caveat emptor! The sounds appear three times on one side of the tape only, there is no 'B side.'

Dispatched in the UK with Royal Mail."
