Korg Trinity vs Xp60

Hi there,

Which one of these 2 synths is the best, for heavy metal music playing ?

I use a xp60 + JV2080 + a "old" JV 90, and I like their sounds very much, but a friend of mine told me that Roland is very far from the sounds of the Korg synths, I've never heard a Trinity before, but i ask you, Roland lovers, what do you think about the Trinity from Korg.

My opinion is that these two synthesizer, the
XP-Serie and the Trinity-Serie, have a very
different sound character. The Trinity sounds more like a "live"-Instrument, the Roland sounds more like a "studio"-Instrument. You can create better distorted and warm sounds with the Trinity. But that doesn´t mean that these sounds aren´t brilliant - they are. The Trinity has got very good filters and a better effect-section. The Trinity has got more power when playing with a band because it comes more from the middle. On the other side sounds Roland expensive, too. The XP-Serie has got very good standard-sounds. The possibility to create "new" Synthi-like sounds is easier on a Trinity - and you don´t need to buy an expansion. I think that both Workstations have their character and very good sounds. You don´t need to buy a Trinity only because your friend means that. Bye !

Hi Kat.

You can download some mp3 demo samples of the Trinity and a few other synths at this site: http://www.sweetwater.com/audio-demos/home.html You can hear for yourself if the Korg has the sound you are looking for. And it is silver. :-)

There are also Roland samples to download at another site but I suppose you know the Rolands pretty well. XP and a 2080, nice setup.
