"If you love lush analog pads, vintage string machines, or just want to hear what happens when Cherry Audio reimagines a rare Korg classic — this is for you." Music producer, TV presenter, and YouTuber Starsky Carr shares more of his lovely track created with Trident Mk III and details its composition. He also provides an overview of the sections -- Synth, Brass, Strings -- and some of the extended features of our latest release.
"Cherry Audio’s Trident Mk III plugin brings Korg’s legendary early-’80s three-headed synth back to life — lush strings, punchy brass, and that rich analog polysynth tone all in one instrument. In this video, I explore how it works, how it sounds, and what made the original Korg Trident Mk I and Mk II both brilliant and under-appreciated.We’ll go through each section — Synth, Strings, and Brass — show how they layer together, and dive into the quirks that gave it character: SSM2044 filters, paraphonic brass, and that gorgeous ensemble chorus. I run through how I've used it in a track — not just for orchestral tones! — and we’ll look at why the Trident never hit the fame of the Jupiter-8 or Prophet-5 despite its incredible sound. If you love lush analog pads, vintage string machines, or just want to hear what happens when Cherry Audio reimagines a rare Korg classic — this is for you."
