|

Hi all,
Crazy story!! Sold my loaded with all options Trinity maybe 15 years ago and always regretted selling it. 2 weeks ago I was browsing FB Market Place for another Korg synth and fell on a listing from a pawnshop nearby. It was advertised as a Trinity Plus but the only picture was showing a Trinity without the Plus sticker(which I had removed at the time).
Arriving at the pawnshop, first thing I do is look at the back and sure enough, I see the HDR and DI options installed. I say to myself, could it be my unit I had at the time? First thing I do is go to the PBS page on Global and there I find my custom samples I had loaded back then!! Previous owner(s) never managed to use the feature!!
The unit is still in good shape, only bad luck I had so far is the ZIP drive I had at the time, and still kept, isn’t recognized by the synth. And all my custom PCGs and samples I had are on those ZIP disks but I can’t retreive them!!
God this thing sounds good!! I’ve had Tritons and Kronos since then and this silver beast still sounds excellent… and it comes from 1995!! _________________ System 1: Korg Z1EX with UA Apollo Twin X and M1 Macbook Air.

Wow, what are the odds? I still have my Trinity plus that I purchased new way back. It is a great instrument but I rarely use it these days. Great story! _________________ http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=807494

Yeah, what are the odds!! It’s been quite a ride since, trying to find an external SCSI drive to use with the HDR option!! Found a ZIP drive so I could get access to my old PCGs and samples. Bought a JAZ drive that I can’t have the Trinity format the disks. Then bought a Syquest Syjet, this one is working great so far.
Fortunately, these old tech are selling really cheap if you shop around a bit. I’m setting up a « no computer » system to see if I’ll enjoy making music, 1995-style!! The Trinity sequencer wasn’t that bad IIRC. Time will tell. _________________ System 1: Korg Z1EX with UA Apollo Twin X and M1 Macbook Air.

+1 I only use my Trinity as a backup keyboard when playing live. I will have to refresh myself with this board because there were sounds that I really liked back in the day when it was my main board. _________________ http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=807494
