Hi, I'm trying to find the serial numbers range for the very first Korg Trinitys that were sold in Canada in 1996-7 (61 keys version).
I'm trying to track down one of these silver beasts to buy, and instead of guess work, it would be more more precise if I could pinpoint the genuine articles using a serial number reference.
Many thanks!
Andre
P.S. - note it's a plain Trinity, I don't think it's a "Plus" (although it could be) but certainly not a "V3," which I own (which I will then be able to sell).
Help me track a "First edition" Trinity?

Very curious, why on Earth do you want to sell a V3, to downgrade to a basic Trinity with an earlier serial?
You do realise that you can remove the Moss board, remove the V3 sticker, re-flash the Trinity back to OS 2.4.1 and hey presto your V3 has become a stock Trinity.
All Trinitys are the same underlying beast, just with different key ranges, expansion options and software versions.
For me, the Moss element (V3) is one of the key reasons (along with the 8MB PBS that I retrofitted) that I've kept my Trinity, they are the gifts that keep on giving - physical and analogue synthesis largely without limits, and the ability to load custom samples into the Trinity programming sphere respectively. Had it just been a stock Trinity without Moss & PBS, I would likely have sold it by now.

I just bought back my old unit recently(see other thread) and I'm in Canada. This was initially a Trinity Plus that I bought new back then and S/N is 160099. If it can help in your search...
