I might be misreading this, but were there really 4 different rom expansion boards for the Trinity? I'm looking into getting a TR Rack and under the description/info pages it says something like, "The TR Rack includes an additional 8mb of rom taken from the Trinity's 4 expansion libraries".

I'm not sure what the additional 8mb of rom on the TR Rack is and if it actually includes all of the additional rom/patches from these aforementioned expansions. If it turns out that I'll be missing a lot of patches from the Trinity by getting a TR Rack, I might just have to save up and get a Trinity someday. If not, I'll get the TR Rack.

Hmm... After further investigation it seems like the only actual sound expansion options would be the Prophecy and Z1 (SOLO/MOSS), but also the 8mb of flash rom expansion (don't think it comes with samples on board?)

I think that description is a little misleading about four expansion rom sets. Maybe it meant to say that it's a 'best of' coming from the Prophecy and Z1? It would be nice to have some brass/woodwinds from those Prophecy and Z1 synths but I can live without it, and I've got the analog-modeling stuff covered on other synths too, so if all the main samples from the Trinity are included in the TR Rack I'll settle for the TR Rack.

The TR Rack takes only one optional thing: the DI-TRI (4 ch. ADAT digital output).

In ROM it has 39 more Multisamples and 200 more DrumSamples over a standard Trinity keyboard (look here - it's all in there).

If you want Z1 sounds or PBS option (extra samples on floppy disks, let's call them 'expansions'), you'll have to go with the keyboard version. However, if you're happy with a stock Trinity and with the extra samples (kind of like the 'best of' the floppies mentioned before), you'll be happy with the TR rack.

Hope this helped.

Worthy of note...In the TR Rack, you get 4 banks of 127 sounds both in Program & Combi ((512 Prog 512 Combi)

The first 2 Banks in each are identical to the Trinity in it's entirety.

The remaining 2 banks in each are new & to these ears are rather good too. If possible they appear sonically better including some awesome drum samples.

Well worth getting.

I'm interested in which floppies were released. Is there a list of them somewhere along with the new samples/patches that they offered? I'm taking it that you load the floppies' samples/patches into the 8mb expansion board on the Trinity board version. I'm probably going to be happy with a TR Rack but I just wanted to check.

I owned both a Korg Trinity Plus and TR Rack. The extra 8mb of ROM added a huge amount of sounds particularly in the drums department and IMHO a much improved acoustic piano..... more mellower than the bright Trinity offering not to mention that the now imfamous M1 piano also come as part of that extra 8mb of ROM in addition to hundreds of new drums sounds and (I think) extra EP and organ sounds.

It was a shame that Korg didn't include these as standard with the Trinity upon it's intial release and I sold my Trinity a long time before I could bare to part with the TR Rack simply because of those extra drum programs!

The TR had that flaw of not having any ability to be edited (even in a basic manner) from the front panel! It also contained the same 32 note polyphonic limitation as the Trinity.

There were 4 sets of ROM libraries available for the Trinity's vastly overpriced 8MB PBS option including 'drums', 'dance', 'piano' and I think perhaps a 'world' or 'ethnic' sound set (don't quote me on this).

The PBS like the HDR option were way overpriced and thus weren't big sellers for Korg as Trinity expansion options. I'm sure the Prophecy and MOSS boards were much better sellers.

As far as I'm concerned, the Trinity is a better sounding instrument than the Triton series that replaced it with way superior filters, not to mention some superior ROM waves that sadly weren't available for the Triton series. The Triton's were however much better in the way they implemented effects routings not to mention containing a proper(!) sampler, improved touchscreen GUI, sequencer and dual arpeggiators.

They're like a "best of" the PBS sample sets, but you can't swap these for other sample sets like you can in a PBS-TRI as the extra sounds are burnt to ROM in the TR-Rack.

There are 9 or 10 official PCM sets in total for the PBS-TRI expansion option (if installed on a Trinity keyboard).

These are:

TFD-1S - Mega Pianos
TFD-2S - Orchestral Elements
TFD-3S - Dance Waves & Drums
TFD-4S - Best of M1
TFD-5S (also called PCM 03) - The Groovebox
TFD-6S (also called PCM 04) - Techno & Trance
Brass
Organs
Garage, Jungle & Hip Hop

(I'm unsure of the last three TFD/PCM name/numbers).

I also think there is another further set called "The Groovebox 2".

There are also additional sets from the Korg Italy site. I'm unsure if these are the sample sets already mentioned just under a different name or whether they are new/different.

(Necro'ed!)

Anyone ever try a crack at recreating the entire extra TR-Rack 8MB PCM ROM as a loadable set for the Trinity PBS-TRI?

If not, would make a neat project!

Since it's really 16MB raw data, it could theoretically either be packaged in 2 separate parts uncompressed (user must choose which one to load at a time), or else in one part at Korg's "proprietary" 2:1 data compression, if anyone has cracked/hacked that by now, or if the data can be re-saved with its original compression somehow.
