Load Korg Triton Studio Operating System Version 2.02 into Triton Classic.

Can this be done, YES.. or whynot ??

Personally, I think this should be doable..

Triton Classic loaded with Triton Extreme OS Ver 1.06 under the hood ??

OK...As I read this post, my question is, WHY? What could we gain by using OS other than 2.5.3 ?

Are you kidding ???.. For one In-track sampling !!!

Just plug-in a guitar or bass guitar (or whatever instrument) and play-along, then save
what you play/recorded as a “sample”.. All of this is done without ever leaving [sequencer mode].

Main advantage there is what you played will always sync perfectly with the tempo.

You would need two Triton Classics to do this :evil::evil: One for recording or “sampling” [sampling mode]
and the other to hear the song/backing-tracks in [sequencer mode].

I know what im asking is doable !!!... ????..

Yes, it is doable !!! it's just a software upgrade ... whynot ???

You are absolutely, right !

Thgis guy is doing exactly that here in this video starting @ the 4m30s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoXKJRCXBk4

Mind you Triton Studio can already do this and-so could Triton Extreme !!!

LOL, there is no discussion there. Just lots of silly memes and photos.

Correction. There’s also YT videos !!
I put up some videos illustrating what insampling is for those who rarely sample or just don’t know what the sampling feature does,
Personally I find [sampling] a very useful tool should you not have a vocalist present you could record a scratch vocal as a platform
from which you can built more musical ideas.

Currently, to do this I need to have two Triton Classics

The fact that the Tritons are "compatible with each other" just means that they can read each others sounds. Mostly.

It doesn’t end with just sounds..
They share all data files ie: songfiles (seq.), multi-sample files, program files, etc..
I’ll even add SYSTEM files as well, if you plug two Tritons together via MIDI you can then remotely controlled the other
tell it to switch modes from Combis to Global to Seq to Disk -- watch it jump from one screen to the next without
having had to pre-program these changes.

This indicates that the Tritons are 100% compatible

You can't simply transfer an OS to different hardware like that.

Ok. How would you go about doing it, then?

What do you think would happen if you swapped the mobo in the Kronos for a different architecture?

You would lose/void your warranty. lol
But. can it be done? someone with the know-how could swap the motherboard people do it all the time
like many onhere installing solid state drives in their Kronos. (that's just one example)

Regardless of my own assumptions, I'm going to take Dans opinion on this, seeing as he's a lot closer to the fire, so to speak.

Perhaps that's why he's holding back a bit.. Dan is too close to the fire. lol

**************** Ofcourse, this is doable !!! ****************

Each model of Triton has its own version of the OS.
Software is not structured as you imply above. There are not separate "programs" which can be "loaded" for features such as in-track sampling.

See, my reply above to SanderX..
True. there had to have been additional developments made to incorporate a Compact Flash memory card option or in the case
of the Triton Studio an internal HD & CDrom drive option, etc, etc.. However the core operating system remained basically the same on all the Tritons

What you are asking for is to transplant features from one long-discontinued codebase to a second long-discontinued codebase.

In a nutshell,

Both features involve multiple parts of the system, so it's not like you could just copy and paste a single chunk of code.
This would be a non-trivial development exercise.

Trivial, yes.. if Korg does it I undestand there is little for them to benefit finacially

More to the point: it's simply not going to happen. The Triton "Classic" was introduced 16 years ago, and replaced by the Triton Extreme 11 years ago; it's been discontinued for a long, long time. No more software updates should be expected.

What if a 3rd party were to take on the task. then would that be OK with Korg ?

If you want these features, my advice is to buy an instrument which has them.

You mean, like a 2nd Triton Classic?

I don't know why you are quoting me in an entirely different part of the forum. But, to put it politely, you really do not have enough general knowledge of how computers work to make this judgment. So for me this discussion is over, I'm not going to pick apart your replies anymore. If you're still not convinced, good luck proving me wrong. I'd love you to, actually.
