Re: Trident question

Oh, i'm very pleased regarding this group , many thanks for your 
reply and the schematics beeing available for download... i will 
unmount the Trident may be tonight or tomorrow night and will post my 
sights inside. This is one of my favorite (regarding it's wood design 
and the sound, particularly the synth section) keyboards from korg , 
and i can say i tried almost them all at the time they were beeing 
produced since i was working demoing them in a shop. So now is the 
time for me to have some of them in full working condiction...
