Hello!
I am wondering if anybody has tried installing the exb-moss of the triton series into the trinity!
The board number is the same (KLM-2076) on both so as far as connectivity it should be 100% compatible.
But do the boards have the same or compatible firmware on them?!

Hi
Triton moss and trinity moss are different. sorry

Hello! Thanks for your answer! Have you tried it though?!

They do indeed look similar, but EXB-MOSS seems to have an extra chip (the large one just left of centre)



^ MOSS-TRI (Trinity V3).



^ EXB-MOSS (Triton).

I know EXB-MOSS functionality is different to the MOSS-TRI in that the Triton Moss board is multi-timbral (can use several Moss sounds at the same time within the 6-voice polyphony constraint) but the Trinity Moss is mono-timbral (only one Moss sound can be used at any time).

Exactly!the only difference is that IC, even the pcb number is the same (KLM-2076) on both!
Thats why i m questioning if the triton moss will work in trinity!
The opposite most probably will not work but the newer to older may work!
I have an exb-moss and a trinity so i may test it myself to see.
If i find the time to do it i will report here..

The extra chip on the EXB-MOSS I think is a Fujitsu 4-Mbit flash ROM chip, possibly containing the F-bank preload data.

If you look at the chip above that chip, the text "EXB-MOSS" is stamped on the Triton/Karma version, but not on the Trinity version. Whatever Korg-specific content is on that ASIC chip could be a source of incompatibility.

I don't know if the EXB-MOSS board is compatible with a Trinity. Everything I've read indicates they are not compatible. But just like you're asking, I don't know of anybody who has tried it (or risked it).

Well , i came back to give an update...
Long story short , it doesn't get recognized...
I tried both with internal and external configuration but nope...
The flash IC is the program the cpu runs.If you look closely, on the trinity , the jumper is set to internal (and no flash IC) but on the triton , it is set to external and has the flash IC..
Unless there is a way to dump the program from the trinity and write it to the triton flash IC, i doubt there is anything left to do.
The only possibility is , if there are ID resistors on the board and they are different ,but without schematics of the board, it is not easy to find out , except from comparing the values of components of the 2 boards...

Well, darn it. Thanks for following up with the definitive answer.
