Chapter One:
The PBS-TRI Flash ROM Option
The Korg PBS-TRI Flash ROM option adds a wealth of new features to your
Trinity. Beyond expanding the Trinity’s memory (and doubling the number of
programs, combinations, and drum kits), it allows you to load sample data from
floppy disk (or from CD-ROM or hard disk, if you also have the SCSI-TRI SCSI
option or HDR-TRI hard disk recorder option installed). This effectively opens
your Trinity to a whole new world of sounds—fly in your own original samples
created in an external sampler or your computer, or load any of the literally
millions of sounds from commercially available sound libraries. You can then
tweak the samples to your heart’s content, using them as building blocks for
your own custom Trinity programs, combis, or drum kits.
What the PBS-TRI Option Adds
Your Trinity will look exactly the same after the PBS-TRI option is installed, but
make no mistake about it—there’s lots of extra horsepower under the hood! We
suggest you start your exploration of the new features by going into Program
mode (press the PROG button) and then press the BANK button a few times. In
addition to the Banks A and B you previously had, there are now two new
Banks—C and D. The four banks now allow you to store a total of 512
programs! If you had a Solo synthesizer installed in your Trinity previously,
you’ll find that Bank “S” (the Solo synthesizer bank) has been expanded, too,
from 64 programs to 128.
Next, check out Combi mode. Press the COMBI button, followed by the BANK
button. Here, too, you’ll find an additional two banks (C and D), making for a
total of 512 Combis. Finally, press the GLOBAL button and go to Page 5 (press
the P5 button). Touch the DrumKit parameter and you’ll find a total of 24 Drum
Kit locations instead of the 12 that were there previously.
In addition to all this, the PBS-TRI option has added 8 whopping megabytes of
memory for sample storage, and the best news of all is that, since this is Flash
ROM and not standard RAM memory, the sample data stays in your Trinity even
after you power it down! If you’ve ever worked with a sampler, you know what a
pain it is to have to wait around while data is loaded in, even if you’ve got the
fastest hard drive in the world. But a Trinity with the PBS-TRI option keeps all of
its custom sample data in instantly accessible memory (just like the factory
samples in ROM)—and the data stays there permanently, until or unless you
consciously decide to erase it.

We’ve even added an extra page so you can see all the new memory and keep
track of how it is being used. From GLOBAL mode, go to Page 6 (press the P6
button). Here’s what you’ll see:
As shown on the second line of the display, the total Flash ROM memory is
divided into four banks of just over 2 megabytes each. The top line goes into
greater detail, showing the number and type of samples stored in those four
banks. To understand it, however, we need to explain two important terms:
drum samples and multisamples.
