KARMA Triton is a computer software program, running on PC or Mac platforms. It is a software only version of the same KARMA Technology that is built-in to the award-winning Korg Karma Music Workstation. By utilizing your computer and the software, connected to your TRITON via any standard MIDI interface, you can effectively "turn your TRITON into a Karma" and then some!

Extended information

The Karma Triton Software runs on your computer, and communicates with your TRITON via MIDI and any standard MIDI interface. There are no modifications to the TRITON or the TRITON OS (operating system).

Using KARMA Triton is similar to using the on-board dual arpeggiators of all TRITON models, except far more advanced and versatile. The TRITON arpeggiator has very little you can vary in realtime other than gate, velocity and tempo, and extremely simple patterns. KARMA has hundreds of parameters that can be varied in real-time, either from the on screen sliders and switches in the "Realtime Controls Editor," or via knobs, sliders and switches from an external control device, such as a Novation Remote 25, Peavey PC-1600, etc.

You can jam with it, use it for inspiration to spark new song ideas, use it generate individual bass lines, synth parts, drum grooves etc. for your own tracks - it's almost like a loop collection that never gets stale. And it's easy to store your own variations and patterns in additional banks within the software - you can even import TRITON arpeggiator patterns and have them instantly turned into KARMA Generated Effects (GEs) that go far beyond the capabilities of the originals!
