But I will tell you that the TRITON Studio is NOT discontinued by Korg, nor us... if the UK is not supporting it that's one thing, but as a worldwide stance it is still very much alive and will be for some time to come.
The only TRITON we have discontinued was the Classic line, so the Le, Studio, Extreme and Rack are all still very much alive."

Jerry's a bigshot at Korg USA, so his word is pretty much gospel.
If the $7K price tag is for the top-whack weighted 88-note version, then the 61 note version might be considerably more palatable. Some observers have mentioned the Triton Studio was around $7K RRP top whack originally, with the 61-note being more like $4K street price. If that is duplicated with this synth, it would possibly bring it within about $1K of the Access TI's prices. I guess it depends.
Still not cheap, but if it is indeed the OASYS engine then it would offer a good bang for the buck as it is insanely flexible. Limitless, almost.
Interesting times await.
