Hi everyone.

Please take the time to cast your vote.

I’m starting a Poll to see how many of you Trinity users are experiencing a problem by where the Right Output of your Trinity will shut down for no apparent reason.

Regards.
Sharp.

PS: I’m not including the MOSS and SOLO board in this Poll because we already know both SOLO and MOSS users experience this problem.

Interesting. I've had my fully expanded Trinity (originally Solo but now Moss) since 1998 and have never gigged with it. It has always simply set on my two keyboard stand and has only been moved once when we changed living quarters from our business (out in the country with an apartment included) to our retirement apartment (in town on the side of a lake). I've never had any of those problems. Right now the Trinity is under my bed wrapped in the cover the Tyros came in because I only have room for two keyboards at a time and I have the Tyros on bottom and the Pa80 on top (the Wavestation EX is in a case leaning against the wall).

Hi TomCat,
What you say is interesting... I think that's a good lead. As i mentioned a couple of days ago to Sharp, i used to have that problem when i was giging with the Trinity. Since i only bring my Wavestation now(it might sounds weird but i do prog rock with my band, and the sounds of my WS fit better!!!), my Trinity sits at home and i never experienced the problem since. Hummm...

Hi Guys

In the last year I have experienced the problem easily 5 times. And I no longer gig, so that throws that theory out the window I guess.

There’s a known problem with the first Trinity’s ever made that requires you to have the main board modified if you get a certain expansion board installed.

I know for a fact that I have one of these Trinity’s, but for the life of me I can’t remember which board came with those instructions. I do remember it has something to do with Digital sound internally. But it was Korg UK what made the modification to my main board.

Can anyone recall more information regarding this modification. It has to do with the Serial Number on your Trinity.

Regards.
Sharp.

It was the HDR option on models before April '96.

I kept this info for some odd reason and believe it originally came to me courtesy of an Email from Eddie Deegan. U-4 was the SN range apparently.

Yes… U4 !!!.
That it. That’s what I was asked to check for before my Trinity was returned for the modification.

The question on my mind now is.
For those who have experienced this problem…. Are you all Serial U4 users.

Regards.
Sharp.

Tomcat.

Just out of curiosity, what serial number have you got ?.

Regards.
Sharp.

Mine's Ser. No.: 003355, no probs that I can recall, hence the option I ticked for PBS without probs. (I don't have HDR option, though.).
I also have had Moss for all that time too.
I got my Trinity from new in '98. Stationary home/studio use only, though, no gigging.

My serial number starts 007 but it does have U12 on the little sticker so probably not that.

It sounds like those Trinity's that have always lived in studios are less likely to go wrong so is it due to moving them around?

Sharp - even though you don't gig yours now, did you gig it before or move it around a lot in the studio?

Hi Carleton.

My Trinity would have spent around 6 Years on the road gigging at a rate of between 5 to 7 nights a week.

I haven’t gigged with it in the last 15 month’s, and it hasn’t been moved an inch in the Studio. But I have experienced the problem again… around 5 times.

LOL… Ho what could it be

Regards.
Sharp.

Sharp, is the keyboard placed flat? I think I read in a manual somewhere that some synths can be temperamental when placed relatively slanted/angled. It's just a vague thought.

I think that Carleton is right and this could be the final clue for this problem.
I have my unit for about more than 6 years (bought in 1998); having HDR , MOSS and in the past two years I added the PBS, and I can tell that I have never suffer this problem. I make use of the S/Pdif out most of the time, though.

I all its life, I have moved the keyb from gig to gig not very much, (but only about 12 gigs in 6 years, with this keyboard) And nothing wrong, for the moment.

About the serial number of my unit, it is 014126, and it does have W10 on the little sticker. I guess it was one of the last units produced by Korg. It makes sense, as I bought it new here, in Spain. I would have been rather weird that It ´d be an U12 unit.

Hi Timo

Korg already addresses issues like that online here before. All their keyboards are designed to work at angles.

Bye.
Sharp.

Yup,
mine works at angle, too.

got a solo one, NO problem, never
got the moss one, no problem too
