The sampler on a triton is ok, considering the triton is a one-in-all machine, though it's not really packed with options. It's ok, if I got one for free I'd use it. But if I had to pay I'd take a Yamaha Sampler anyday. I'm getting the RS7000 myself.

I have a Triton. I agree, the sample is OK. Keep in mind that the Triton keyboards do not have an ADAT option. So you will have to sample analog only. This could be problematic in the future which is increasingly going with digital interfaces. The Triton Rack does, however, have an ADAT option.

Keep in mind that even though Korg says it can load Akai S1000/3000 format samples, it does a very poor job at it rendering it pretty much useless. I ended up buying an Akai S6000 instead of waiting to see if Korg would do something about it in the next OS release that we are all waiting for.

If you are still interested in the Triton, I highly recommend you visit www.tapesh.com/triton. It's an excellent discussion board for the Triton. Very active and you will get your questions almost immediately answered by the many Triton experts on that board.

Good luck,

The triton sampler is nice, but as all new equipment, you must read the manual to understand and use the sampler to its full potential.

Good Luck

The Triton's sampler is dope, if your doing basic things like looping, chopping, **** like that. I haven't tried the effects on it I just use the sp-404 right now. Triton would be next purchase for a cheap 61 key workstation, cuz I'm poor its all I can afford lol

BTW sorry to double post but I got a Akai s-1000 rackmount, fully loaded memory and all the original sound disks plus the case I might be selling it for cheap if any of ya are interested

The Triton as a sampler lacks flexibility compared to an MPC or ASR-10. Same with the Motifs. Main problem is you have to do all of your editing and rendering prior to using your samples as a 'voice' (sequencing, etc.). On the flip, once you get the swing of it, you can literally do anything an MPC can do. Step editing is breezy, fully adjustable envelopes and filters, velocity. Great for drums and percussion kits, not so great for chopping up a sample in a hurry and getting it sequenced.

Motif ES is a better option because of resampling, built-in card reader, expanded RAM capability and the presets are def. a cut above the Triton. I wouldn't go any more than $400-$600 on a silver classic Triton.
