IAN FISHER: All right. Today, I'm showing you the Korg TR. It's new from Korg. It replaces the Triton LE. It's been out about a couple of months, the 61 and the 76 version. Today, we're showing at NAMM the 88 version. Everything is sonically the same. What the differences are that everybody wants to know, the Triton LE had 32 MG of ROM like the Triton Classic. Now, the Tri -- the Korg TR rather has 64 MB of ROM. There's no more SmartMedia card that only is limiting to 128 MB. It actually gives you now a Secure Digital card that is good all the way up to 1 GB. Of course, Secure Digital goes past that now and it possibly could work. But in any event, you have a USB port so that you can go out USB from your keyboard straight to your computer and it gives you MIDI in and out, which is a beautiful feature.

The 88 features the RH2 keybed that is a Korg custom keybed that is found in the higher end Tritons like the Extreme Studio, and what you have are really hot new sounds. Some of the pianos now are new. They were taken from the same sampling session. Some of them has the OASYS so what you have are pianos that sound like this.

Another one that I personally like is more of a darker piano.

If you like to audition sounds, there's an audition button. Like I said, these new sounds are really hot you can actually go into category, go to audition, and I'll play some of them for you.

One of the ones I like a lot is the guitar that sounds like -- Well, before I get to the guitar, there's something else that I like a lot that a lot of people are actually always requesting to be in Korg products.

And I mean, all in all, it's a new Korg voice set. It sounds really great. For all the people doing more contemporary types of music, you have a lot of hot stuff in there. Some stuff I did for the show sounded like this.

So it's not just only new acoustic sounds, organs. It's like a lot of hot hip hop, trip hop, you know, funk stuff as well. It's very hot actually. Like I said, I was surprised when I heard the sounds. They're really hot. For all the people doing a lot of dance stuff, you'll still be able to do stuff like this actually.
