The Korg Trident is a fully polyphonic multi-orchestral synthesizer. It is a hybrid of three separate synthesizers; a programmable 8-note polyphonic synthesizer featuring two VCOs, a Brass section based on a divide-down oscillator, and a String section, also based on a divide-down oscillator. These separate instruments can be assigned to two different regions of the keyboard independently.

Revisions

Mk I

The first revision was released in 1980. It featured three preset sounds (Piano 1, Piano 2, Clavi) and 16 user-programmable memories for the synthesizer section.

MK II

The second, more popular, revision was released in 1982 in response to the competing Roland Jupiter-8 which was its direct competitor in the same price point. It was identical in function to its predecessor with the exception of the addition of 32 programmable presets with no built-in presets, and a separate ADSR for the VCF in the synthesizer section.
