Korg Triton Extreme VST Plugin (Korg Collection 6) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hi, everyone!

The original Korg Triton first appeared in 1999 and then the TRITON Extreme appeared in 2004 as the most powerful model in the series, featuring the first-ever "Valve Force" vacuum tubes in a music workstation, and most of the new PCM and EXB-PCM series waveforms.

This plug-in faithfully reproduces the HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system down to the smallest details and contains every one of the vast number of preset programs.

You can have again the sound that defined an era, with a very faithful software emulation that can bring this classic synthesizer "back to the future". This software really replicates the Korg Triton Extreme down to the last details and in this "No talking demo" I just mess around with some beautiful presets.

Grab it! You won't be disappointed.

SOME SPECS:
◉ Combination mode allowing for up to eight of multi-timbral parts to be played simultaneously ;
◉ Over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs;
◉ Includes all of the expansion library EXB-PCM cards;
◉ Five insert effects and and two master effects, plus a master EQ;
◉ Complete reproduction of TRITON’s HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system;
◉ Full of ready-to-go phrases with 307 dual arpeggiator patterns;
◉ Supervised by original TRITON developers;
◉ Over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs;
◉ and much more..."

via this eBay listing

"One Bitranger with Synapse matrix keypad, original manual and 12 DuPont pin patch cables

Excellent condition, does not include battery or PSU

The bitRanger is a patchable analog logic computer that sculpts sonic worlds ranging from data noise to melodic arpeggios. While being a handheld standalone synth, it is also right at home in the music studio. Extensive connectivity makes it so flexible that it can connect to almost anything: CV control its unique sound, sync it with drum machines and sequencers or use it as an algorithmic CV / GATE pattern generator.

Go nuts! Bit nuts!

The patchbay of the bitRanger is a place for exploration where you can simply connect outputs to inputs to see what happens. This can be done methodically or with complete experimental abandon. Go nuts! Battery Power and a built-in speaker make the bitRanger totally portable. Tweak it’s 4 knobs, 8 switches, and more than 100 patch points in the woods, on the beach, on a train, and in the studio.

Features

LFO clock oscillator for rhythmical modulation

VCO oscillator is synced to the HFO oscillator

4 modes of operation selectable by 2 switches

built-in speaker with volume control

On /Off switch

expansion connector

package includes 3 photo resistors – make your oscillators respond to light by plugging these into the Bend socket
