Korg Triton Extreme, Hardware versus Soft Synth, Part 2

[Addlai]

I own both the hardware and the software version of the Triton Extreme. The software version (Korg Collection Triton Extreme) is a quite extensive reproduction, but I've noticed a couple of differences. This message is the second difference.

The hardware synth has 6 outputs, 2 labeled as "main" and 4 labeled as "individual". As far as I can tell, the software synth seems to have only the 2 main outputs.

Perhaps Korg thought the other outputs were superfluous since multiple instances of the software synth can run simultaneously. However, I'm thinking in terms of backward compatibility and convenience. I sometimes use presets that have distinct sounds on the "individual" outputs.

Did Korg actually omit the 4 "individual" outputs in the software version?
If so, what's the most convenient way of emulating them?

I don't haver this software, but from what you describe it seems that to have assigned individual audio outputs they would have had to have written the software more akin to a softsynth, such as Kontakt, Halion etc, or drum soft synths.

I guess they have done it to save on the cost of development. But you raise a good point. Now I come to think about it, I have several soft synths and I think each and every one only has a stereo output, and many if not all, are not multi-timbral, except the Virus TI software which mimmicks the controls on my hardware Virus TI

Yes.

For probably this reason. Many plugin emulations don't even include the "multitimbral" modes in their plugins, for the same reason (eg, Roland JV-1080/XV-5080, Korg Wavestation, and so on...)

You can just duplicate instances, and route whatever of the multi-timbral parts/sounds you want to the main stereo outputs (and check the FX routing if necessary) of each.
