I remember ending the TR88 review by suggesting the Triton cow had been milked to death and it was hopefully time to move on to pastures new, perhaps to a spin-off from the mighty OASYS.

Korg's budget TR series of workstations was arguably a tad dated when introduced in 2006. The drive to get more bang for your buck was never more acute. In this climate, few of us would risk sneaking an ultra-expensive new toy past the other half.

Prices are rising, credit is being crunched and getting to work on horseback could soon be a serious proposition. I'm sure most Sound On Sound readers don't need reminding that cash is far from abundant right now.

Is there still a place for the workstation in the computer dominated studio of 2008? Korg certainly think so, and they're making a compelling case with their brand-new, touchscreen-equipped M50, offering much of the power of the acclaimed M3 for around half the price.
