[HAM] Korg Triton Hammond sounds
Gary
would be nice to get a decent Hammond sound.
While going through a synth newsgroup, I noticed someone posting that he was
disappointed that his Roland Vk7 clone sound did not "scream" like the
Hammond sounds on the Korg Triton and any suggestions. At this remark a
couple replied, yes, about how great the organs sound in the Triton
(pianos not being as liked as in the Roland or Kurz).
I went over to Harmony-Central to read what owners said. In the course of a
review from a very experienced studio cat/player who plays organ gospel and
jazz. He he capitalized "TRITON HAS THE BEST ORGANS IN THE BUSINESS". Owned
also a 3080. Gave an intelligent review. Said Patch39 sinewave is great as a
Hammond sound.
My question:
Any Hammond people hear/familiar with the Korg Triton organ sounds?
Comments, perceptions would be interesting.
If I get a chance I will go out this week to hear it.

Good but not great. The "Warm Jazz Organ" patch is nice, and the other
Jazz patch is pretty good (they sound good layered too). But many of
the organ samples are leftovers from the 01/W, and have a "canned" sound.
I haven't heard the organs on their Pianos/Classic Keys ROM card for the
Triton yet. There's a Vintage Archives card available too.
OTOH the Triton has sampling ability, so you could sample your own
Hammond if you didn't find what you wanted in its internal ROM.

It's a good all-rounder, I'm considering one myself instead of a
dedicated drawbar keyboard for gigs I can't take a Hammond to, since
another synth is more useful when not gigging in my studio - a clone
would gather dust. Though that new CX3 is awful tempting.
The Triton and Triton pro have the excellent semi-wieghted Yamaha keybed
that first showed up in the DX-7. Korg has used this action in their
high-end synths since the DW-8000 and M1. Superb feel.
Also check out the Yamaha EX5 - the organ samples are *very* good (my
Yamaha S80 has a lot of these, sound great, but hard to play organ runs
on an 88<grin>) and the rotary simulation seems a bit better.
Gotta love the touchscreen on the Triton though.

B3 Module. Absolutely incredible. Plus the samples can be edited. Thoroughly
recommended.

Dunno. Some of the sounds were OK, but the morphing from a slow-leslie
sample to a fast-leslie sample sounds a bit strange. The raw (sampled
from the preamp) samples are pretty good, however. I don't like the
percussion sound on this unit though.
If it's doin' ya right, though, roll with it. :o)
