    It's like that one meme "When you are in a one synth challenge but your opponent is Thought-Forms with the Korg Triton" 😂 Very nice as usual.
    Also at 5:37 for the Vibes EP it is important to turn down the MIDI Velocity a little exactly like you did, I tried to follow your tutorial by drawing in some notes with my mouse (with 100% velocity by default) but it sounded too harsh at first!

      LOL - that sounds like a fun challenge...hmmm. 100% on the velocity, forgot to call that out! Any EP in the triton (and any rompler!) you're going to want to go somewhere around 50% velocity or less to retain a more soft, delicate sound. Same with a lot of pads too. It's pretty easy to miss if you're drawing in notes opposed to playing them in. Velocity is SO important! Vibes, drums, anything

    The Triton can just do so many great things. Another great 90's genre breakdown.

    everytime I think I need to get some more synths or instruments to get that new sound thought forms just manifests a video like this showing how it is really done hahaha!
    great vid as always! triton is still a killer rompeler I keep being amazed of the versitility!
    edit: yooooo the ribbon up top that alternates colours is smart as fuck makes it so easy to see instead of only using the markers!

      The answer always lays right in front of you! In Bitwig? Yea dude, the track markers are incredibly useful - can also append session notes to them in the inspector panel. A nice QOL feature that doesn't get enough love!

      the sounds for the Triton were developed in the 1990s and regardless of when the keyboard appeared on the market it still sounds like it's from the 1990s. come on.

      @@c02c02 The sounds may give off the 90s vibe... but it's technically not gear accurate to a 90s tune. Therefore, it'd be more of a 2000s RnB track.
