Dead bug infested KORG Triton LE repair advice

I recently thrifted this KORG Triton LE 61 key workstation, I wasn't able to test it in the store, and when I brought it home to open it up, it was full of dead bugs. I'm an amateur when it comes to repairing electronics, especially synths. It didn't turn on at all when I tried to test it. I just want to know whether it's worth trying to clean and fix, and if I'll even be able to at all. I wasn't able to discern any glaring issues by myself (Apart from the dead bugs..)

If anyone could offer any tips on how to clean it, and what I should do to determine the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Please take into account I am very new to electronics so I don't have much repair knowledge under my belt.

Korg tr rack vs trinity vst

I really love the korg trinity VST and I was wondering if a TR rack is worth the 300-600 dollar price tag or more importantly if there’s an actual tangible difference. I’m super big on rack module synths, owning a Roland xv5050 and a fantom xr. I noticed a big jump in quality and feel from the xv5080 plugin to the xv5050 hardware. Wondering if the tr rack would be a similar jump in quality and feel.

Does anyone know the name of these sounds?? Korg 01wfd

Good!

Could someone help me with the name of the sounds used in this fragment? I haven't been able to find them, it seems to me that they are sounds from the Korg 01wfd, any clue I appreciate it!

​Found this vintage Korg Poly-800 in a closet (1983) – No power supply, any advice?

Hi everyone!

​I just rescued this Korg Poly-800 from a family closet. It comes in a custom-made wooden case that kept it in amazing cosmetic condition.

​Sadly, I couldn't find the original power supply. I know these use a center-negative 9V adapter (or C batteries), so I haven't tested it yet to avoid frying it. I also learned that this model requires loading the factory presets via audio/cassette tape if the memory wipes out.

​Before I buy batteries to test it or consider selling it, I wanted to ask the experts:

​Does it look 100% stock or can you spot any common mods from the pictures?

​If I sell it "as-is" (untested/no patches loaded), what would be a fair price in today's market?

​Any specific things I should look out for before trying to power it on with batteries?

​Thanks a lot for any info!

Korg Multi/Poly envelopes - not punchy enough?

I would like to hear your opinions of the envelopes of the korg multi/poly. First: I really enjoy working with this Allrounder. Very versatile and Solid. But there is one Thing: are the envelopes not snappy and "percusive" enough oris this just my point of view. On my deepmind I am able to create nice punchy sounds, on the multi/poly it lacks or I am doing it wrong. So do you have advises to make the korg multi/poly more punchy and percusive? Or does someone have the same problem?

New effects for Korg Drumlogue

I just released a bunch of new effects, a delay for multiple drumming sensation, two reverbs, two compressors, and a couple of synth: EffeMD is FM percussion inspired by Machinedrum and a drone synth.

More going to come in the future.

Triton and X5 project

Learned how to play piano at church, with these two keyboards, I stopped going to church and they let the keyboard in a deposit, they were probably exposed to sun and a little bit of rain.

Wish me luck.

Any advise is welcomed

I just couldn’t let them go die like this.
