The HI Synthesis engine also provides dual filters per digital oscillator configurable to either a series 24dB/octave resonant low-pass setting or else a parallel 12dB/octave high-pass plus 12dB/octave low-pass combination (which together can also be used similar to band-pass filter). The biggest improvement of Triton was in the sound: new multisamples and better processing, combined with five insert effects per program.

The original Triton introduced many improvements over the Trinity, like 62-note polyphony, dual polyphonic arpeggiators, RPPR phrase recorder, onboard sampler, greatly improved effects & routing possibilities (including the processing of external signals via the internal effects), larger synthesis modulation matrix, faster operating system, significantly faster touchscreen response, sample ROM expandability, enhanced UI including category search (ability to browse through related groups of sounds like pianos, brass, strings, etc.), redesigned sequencer, more realtime controllers including knobs, portamento, and availability of multi-timbral MOSS synthesis expansion (whereas Trinity's MOSS expansion was mono-timbral). The Triton "Classic" followed the Trinity's naming conventions of the Pro and Pro X being designated to models featuring 76 and 88 keys respectively (that naming system actually started with previous 01/w series, also available with 61 keys (base and -FD models), 76 (01/wPro) and 88 (01/wProX). The two ranges are aesthetically and functionally very similar. The Korg Triton line is considered the direct descendant of the earlier Korg Trinity line of workstations. Predecessor, Korg Trinity KORG M3, KORG Triton, 2 KORG Radias-R and Mackie 1402 VLZ3, with MIDI Merge and Thru boxes sitting on the M3 (left and right respectively) History and pedigree

Korg Triton Classic Successor, Korg M3 and At the NAMM 2007, Korg announced the Korg M3 as its successor. The Triton became renowned as a benchmark of keyboard technology, and has been widely featured in music videos and live concerts. It uses Korg's HI Synthesis tone generator and was eventually available in several model variants with numerous upgrade options. The Korg Triton is a music workstation synthesizer, featuring digital sampling and sequencing, released in 1999.
