Update Warning: Korg Triton Plugin v1.4.3

Korg Triton Plugin v1.4.3

If you select a Combination preset, save the project in your DAW, and then reload it, the Combination no longer sounds the same as before. Example: “BeeG Pad2 Bright” — the sounds are (among other things) detuned within themselves.

Tested with VST2 and VST3 in Gig Performer and Cubase.

P.S. If anyone still has the older v1.4.1, I’d be grateful if you could send it to me. Unfortunately, Korg no longer provides it on their site. I’ve informed Korg, but it will probably take a while before anything happens…

Good to know, I also had a glitch with one combi after the update. So I was not hearing ghosts…

Unfortunately, you don’t happen to still have the older version lying around somewhere, do you?

EDIT: Thanks to @schamass:Thanks to him, I was able to get back to the working v1.4.1 version.

I already sent you a downloadlink per mail (see whatsapp) :clinking_beer_mugs:

Korg was at least quick to respond. They said the problem is known and they’re working on it.
Here are the links to the previous version, which works better for me:

Any news here? Has Korg released an update?

No news, no update untill 1.4.3. I’m still on 1.4.1

Someone should ask Korg that question?:face_with_monocle:

Markus has been in contact with Korg - that’s why I’m asking here :wink: I’m also still/back on 1.4.1…

I forgot all about this issue, and when I got my M5 MacBook Air recently I had to install from fresh. I just checked and it’s showing as version 1.4.5. and Triton Extreme is showing as 1.1.1. Both on Mac.

Cant say ive noticed any issues so far but not thoroughly tested it yet.

From the release notes.

  • v1.4.5 (2026-03-03): Fixed an issue related to saving and loading REALTIME CONTROLS parameters and resolved an issue where the browser would close unexpectedly [5.5].

Thanks. I was a bit confused because “KORG Software Pass” was showing version 1.4.3 for me.
I have now installed the current 1.4.5 over 1.4.1 and tested it. The bug seems to be fixed.

Thanks, I’ll try it out in the next few days :+1:

It’s really annoying that the Korg Software Pass only shows “Update available” and the currently installed version number, but not the version of the available update…

Hi Lee,

Are you interested in doing some consulting work? Pays well. I need to transfer a few patches from my Trition Rack to the Triton Plugin. I’m in LA.

Hi Jon!

I haven’t done this myself yet. But it seems to be possible with a tool, subject to limitations:

  1. Save a .PCG file from the TRITON Rack
    On the hardware rack, save your Programs/Combinations as a PCG file via disk/SCSI/media, depending on your setup.
  2. Copy the .PCG file to your computer
  3. Convert the PCG file to VST patch files
    Use the community tool “Triton PCG to VST patch converter”:
    github.com/justedni/triton_pcg_to_vstIt converts hardware TRITON PCG files into .patch files for:
  • KORG Collection TRITON
  • KORG Collection TRITON Extreme
  1. Choose the correct output format
  • For the normal TRITON VST: choose Triton
  • For TRITON Extreme VST: choose Triton Extreme
  1. Copy the generated .patch files into the plugin preset folderOn Windows, usually:
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents\KORG\TRITON\Presets

or for TRITON Extreme:

C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents\KORG\TRITON Extreme\Presets
  1. Restart the DAW/plugin

After that, the imported patches should appear in the TRITON plugin’s preset/user browser.

Important limitations:

  • The TRITON VST does not officially import hardware PCG/SysEx files directly.
  • User samples/RAM samples from the hardware will not transfer properly.
  • EXB-MOSS sounds from the TRITON Rack will not be reproduced 1:1 in the VST.
  • The converter exports a limited number of user banks because the VST itself has bank limitations.

In short:

TRITON Rack → save PCG → convert PCG to .patch → copy into KORG/TRITON/Presets → restart plugin

I’m from Munich, Germany. If you need help, I’d also be happy to assist free of charge. Alternatively, you could post the question publicly in the forum — perhaps someone there already has experience with this.

Best regards,
Markus

Hi Marcus,

Thank you so much for helping! I need to figure out how to get the data off of the floppys onto the computer but I’m sure there’s a floppy reader out there for that. Greatly appreciate the help!

Unfortunately I must say that for me personally the problem has not been solved even with that latest v1.4.5. After saving and loading the gig file the effect parameters seem to be set right but sound bypassed, too soft or just messed up.
I reverted back to 1.4.1 thanks to the links posted by @LeeHarvey, once again. :person_shrugging:

Hi Florian!

Good that you mention that. Yesterday I also had the problem with some rackspaces that the saved program/combination was not recalled when loading.

I then found older versions of the rackspace with which it did work, though…?

I’ll keep observing it and let you know whether I might be better off going back to 1.4.1 after all.
