Korg Triton / The Doors

Anyone know how to reproduce the doors keyboards sound with the Korg triton?
Riders on the Storm, Light my Fire, When the Musics Over, etc.

I'd suggest starting with a Fender Rhodes sound and working from there. Here's why:

In the early 1940's Harold Rhodes, a serviceman with the United States Army Air Corps, concerned about the morale of hospital patients, built his first "baby Piano". Constructed from scratch using aircraft parts scrounged and appropriated from army stores, he made a 21/2 octave mini keyboard to entertain and amuse his charges. This was later to become the extremely rare Fender Celeste which, in turn, was the inspiration for the Bass Keyboard made famous by Ray Manzarek of the Doors. This keyboard, utilizing aluminium rods struck directly by the actual wooden key itself, was an instant success. Later on, the keyboard was lengthened, a sustain mechanism devised, and finally, an adaptation of the electric guitar type pickup was added. It was this unit that attracted the attention of Leo Fender and thus the Fender Rhodes, as we know it today, was born.

Is it possible to get close to that sound with the triton?

Yes. Use a Fender Rhodes sound.

There are many of them in the Triton. Use the "Category" function to limit the possible sounds to keyboard sounds, select each of the Rhodes sounds and listen to each of them. Once you find the one that most closely resembles the keyboard used by Mr. Manzarek of the Doors quit searching.

Best of luck!
