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. 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.
The Trinity was considered one of the most comprehensive music workstations, in terms of features, at the time. After the discontinuation of the M1, the Trinity became the next Korg flagship synthesizer. In 1998, Trinity V3 models were introduced, incorporating sound engines from the Korg Z1.
