Korg’s Forgotten Giant // The Trident Returns with Cherry Audio

  / starskycarr   Cherry Audio’s Trident 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 - noit 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.
