Nu-Trix's Trident Mk III Overview and Sound Demo

Oct 9, 2025 | Nu-Trix The Synth Guy

​Nu-Trix dives into Trident Mk III, exploring its layers, motion features, and the updated effects chains.

Let me take you through Cherry Audio’s Trident Mark III, a software recreation inspired by Korg’s 1981 Trident. This plugin combines three engines—Synth, Brass, and Strings—that you can layer, split, or crossfade across the keyboard. You’ll see how the Motion section (poly step sequencer plus two arpeggiators) drives evolving parts, and how the four lanes of effects (per-engine + global) with five-slot chains and modulators shape polished, mix-ready sounds. Expect plenty of sound demos and practical tips—filter behavior that gets a bit dirty in a musical way, unison tricks for weight, aftertouch routing, and workflow shortcuts for copying effect chains across sections. It’s a huge sound in a box, so you’ll also get a heads-up on arranging and mix space.
