The programs and combinations provided utilise 32 new multisamples which provide 7 different pianos including a spacious stereo piano, vintage electric piano sounds that range from traditional tones to clav-type sounds, electric organ sounds that lavishly use memory to capture even the modulation of a rotary speaker, and 5 types of clavinet including 2 muted variations.    
 PCM02  Expansion Board PCM02 - Studio Essentials   ACCEPTED IN:
Triton/Rack/Studio, Karma
     The 39 new multisamples include 17 brass/woodwind instruments, 8 strings, and 9 choirs (including a fantastic gospel choir) - all indispensable for ensemble sounds. All brass and strings use stereo sampling for enhanced spatial realism. From small ensembles to large, from pop to orchestral, here are the sounds you need for every application.
 PCM03  Expansion Board PCM03 - Future Loop Construction   ACCEPTED IN:
Triton/Rack/Studio, Karma
     Provides 16MB of ReCycle!-ed drum grooves, so you can freely change tempo independent of pitch. Each groove has been set up as a Pattern that is assigned to an RPPR set (18 in all) so you can play these grooves directly from the keyboard. Styles range from Hip-Hop to Techno to Jazz and even Ethnic loops.
 PCM04  Expansion Board PCM04 - Dance Extreme   ACCEPTED IN:
Triton/Rack/Studio, Karma
     A strong collection of synth basses, drums, hits, one-shot samples and synth waveforms, all perfect for today's many dance genres. The Combinations in this collection really show the full power of Triton's dual arpeggiators, setting up instant grooves to inspire you.
 PCM05  Expansion Board PCM05 - Vintage Archives   ACCEPTED IN:
Triton/Rack/Studio, Karma
     An amazing collection of vintage keyboard, synth and drum machine samples from yesteryear including sounds from many gone-but-not-forgotten models made by the most famous manufacturers of their era. This option board includes 158 multisamples, 56 drum samples, and 128 programs and 128 combinations. The PCM data has also been recorded from many classic KORG models such as the mini KORG 700S, 800DV, MS20, POLYSIX, Mono/Poly, and Delta, as well as from many other classic domestic and foreign synthesizers. The data includes the original waveforms as well as sounds utilizing each instrument's unique filter and EQ. The total of 158 multisamples also includes waveforms from "strings machines," vocoder, and even (in a first for KORG) rare tape-mechanism sample playback keyboards. You also get 56 drum samples that include vintage rhythm boxes.
  The 128 programs bring you that authentic vintage sound that captures every detail of the original, including the inimitable sense of presence unique to these classic instruments. You have immediate access to great sounds for a wide range of music styles; the brass and pad sounds that you need for dance music; lead, synth-string, synth-brass, and synth-voice sounds for rock and pop; and even those unforgettable flute/string sounds from a tape-mechanism sample playback keyboard. The combination programs provide numerous and unique possibilities that were impossible on the original analog synth itself, such as layered sounds or rhythm arpeggio + drum kit sounds.
 PCM06/07  Expansion Board PCM06/07 - Orchestral Collection   ACCEPTED IN:
Triton/Rack/Studio, Karma
 Unlike previous PCM expansion cards, the Orchestral Collection is actually a two-card set; adding a staggering 32Mbytes of sample data. These sounds have been carefully selected from the internationally acclaimed “Peter Siedlaczek’s Advanced Orchestra” collection by Best Service corporation of Germany.
 
 In addition to the 193 PCM multisamples stored on the expansion boards; this collection also includes a floppy disc containing 256 programs and 256 combination programs that utilize these samples to their fullest. The floppy disc also provides data for 8 new drum kits and 32 arpeggio patterns.

Not merely a collection of instruments, EXB PCM 06/07 has been assembled and created to capture all the elements of an orchestral performance. Solo instruments have been sampled in stereo to preserve ambience; and have been sampled with a natural, player’s vibrato, preserving the character of the original performance. String ensemble and sections, as well as individual string instruments, are presented in stunning clarity. Orchestral percussion and a selection of harp programs complete this collection.

Strings

A true 38-piece string section was used in creating the ensemble material. Violins (14), violas (10), cellos (8) and contrabasses (6), perform in traditional ensemble, pizzicato, and tremolo playing styles, all captured in true position stereo. Quartet string ensembles are also featured, as well as the individual solo instruments. In addition to the instrument samples, this collection also includes a variety of “phrase samples”. These phrase samples provide a new level of realism, offering performance elements that would be impossible to re-create otherwise. From simple run-ups and flourishes to hits, chords, arpeggios and ensemble phrasing (in major and minor keys!), everything needed to re-create every aspect of a symphonic performance is provided.

Brass & Woodwinds

As with the strings, solo instruments here (including oboe and English horn) are faithfully preserved both with and without a natural performance vibrato. A wide range of solo orchestral instruments is provided here, including Contra-bassoon, bassoon, bass clarinet, clarinet, alto flute, and flute. Brass instruments are delivered up with rich, brilliant character. Tuba, trombone, French horn, trumpet and even a piccolo trumpet (can you say Penny Lane?) round out the brass offerings. Ensemble sections (stereo) capture trumpets (3), French horns (4), trombones (3), flutes (3) and clarinets (3) playing in a variety of fashions. Percussion In keeping with the orchestral theme, the percussion offerings highlight a wide array of mallet and tuned (marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, and tubular bells) instruments. Bass drums, snares, tympani, triangle, gong and other orchestral percussion instruments are also well represented. To add that final essence of orchestra to your performance, a vast palette of harp and harp phrases (including various types of glissandos, arpeggios and plucked chords) are available in this collection as well.

 MOSS board EXB MOSS Expansion Board   ACCEPTED IN:
Triton/Rack/Studio, Karma
 The TRITON/KARMA series can be expanded by the installation of the ultimate DSP tone generator - the 13 oscillator 6-voice MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) tone generator featured on the Z1. This lets you use all synthesis methods - PCM, analog, VPM (variable phase modulation), and physical modelling - on a single instrument. When the MOSS tone generator is installed, 128 MOSS programs are added. You can create combination programs that use multiple MOSS timbres together with HI sounds.
The MOSS sound generator consists of Voice, EG and LFO sections. The voice section contains 2 powerful oscillator blocks, OSC1/OSC2, which let you combine up to 2 of 13 types of oscillator algorithm (resonance, organ model, electric piano model, standard, ring modulation, VPM, brass model, reed model and more), a sub oscillator, and a noise generator. The voice section also contains a filter block featuring two multi-mode filters that cover the range from analog synth sounds to complex sounds such as the body resonance of violin or guitar, or even human voice . To this are added 5 EG units and 4 LFO units, providing a rich variety of tonal and pitch changes for each voice.

MOSS SPECIFICATION

Sound Source: 6 voices, 2 oscillators (max.) + sub oscillator + noise generatorOscillator Types: 13 (Standard, Ring Modulation, Cross Modulation, Oscillator Sync, VPM (Variable Phase Modulation), Comb filter oscillator, resonance oscillator, Organ model, Electric piano model, Brass model, Reed model, Plucked string model, Bowed string model) Programs: 128 * Developed under licence of physical modelling patents (listed in http://www.sondius-xg.com/) owned by Stanford University, USA, and by Yamaha Corporation.

Hardware Options
