Yes, the synth section sometimes works for a few minutes after turn-on, or sometimes doesn't, and then the level drops to almost nothing, and sometimes pops and spits. I doubt that the Trident would be the same issue, I think it is a very different architecture to the Delta..

I may have a similar issue with my Korg Trident Mk II. Hopefully your post will help me out. When you stated synth section dropping out, are you saying it shuts down totally and the string section is fine? With mine the Brass and strings are good and the Synth has issues.

I think I have repaired one of the 3 deltas that have come into the workshop with the
synth section dropping out. I will have to let it run for a few hours to check, and then I will
try the same thing on one of the other ones to confirm. If indeed I have found the fault it
will be one of the most difficult to find faults that I have ever come across. If it works I will
post details of the fix.
