Trident MKIII

The deal

$39 at PluginFox (down from $69). Sale ends June 2, 2026.

What it is

Trident MKIII is Cherry Audio's detailed recreation of the classic Trident hardware synthesizer, a multitimbral instrument built around three distinct sound engines: Synth, Brass, and Strings. Each section delivers its own character - sweeping analog pads, bold brass stabs, and stirring string textures - and all three can be layered or split across the keyboard simultaneously. Cherry Audio has expanded on the original hardware with modern features including a polyphonic step sequencer, dual arpeggiators, and a deep effects suite.

Who it's for

Film composers, cinematic producers, and anyone who works with layered orchestral textures will find a lot of mileage here. The three-section architecture suits producers who want an orchestra-in-a-box with expressive real-time control - strings, brass, and pads from one instrument, no switching needed.

Key features

• 16 voices per section with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch sensitivity for expressive real-time playing
• A 16x2 polyphonic step sequencer with drag-and-drop zone templates for building complex, evolving patterns across all three sections
• Dual arpeggiators with configurable splits and layers add intricate melodic movement to any patch
• 17 studio-quality effects onboard including a BBD flanger, Lushverb reverb, ring modulator, and a 7-band parametric EQ
• 380+ professionally designed factory presets cover a wide range of cinematic and contemporary sounds
