The Korg Trinity is a synthesizer and music workstation released by Korg in 1995. It was Korg's first modern workstation and marked a significant evolution from its predecessors by offering features such as built-in digital audio recording, 32-note polyphony, an extensive internal sound library, assignable effects, and a large touchscreen for advanced control and editing functions, a feature not previously seen on any musical instrument.[2][3] It also offered modular expansion for not only sounds, but also studio-grade features such as ADAT, various sound engine processors, audio recording capability, and more.[4]
The Trinity was considered one of the most comprehensive music workstations, in terms of features, at the time.[1] In 1998, Trinity V3 models were introduced, incorporating sound engines from the Korg Z1.
