Incredible Sound

The next step in workstation evolution, the TRITON delivers the ultimate sonic arsenal with maximum expressive power and control!

World-Class Effects

An outstanding effect section provides five stereo insert effects with 102 algorithms available! Up to 5 stereo inserts or 10 mono inserts (by using the mono chain effects) can be used in a Program, Combination or Song! Process everything through two master effects with 89 algorithms to choose from, then finish off your mix with a powerful 3-band EQ! TRITON also gives you easy and flexible routing, and a BPM/Sync function, included in many of the effect algorithms - for controlling effects in sync to tempo! Plus, you can process TRITON's two audio inputs through the internal effects, which happen to include a 16-band Vocoder!
