Key Features
The Cherry Audio Trident MK III is a plugin emulation of two vintage synthesizers from the 1980s, the Trident MKI and Trident MKII. Not only does Trident MK III emulate the authentic sound, it exponentially enhances the functionality with digital upgrades, combining their iconic multitimbral design with significant upgrades. Each section from the Synth, Brass, and Strings features up to 16 voices, allowing for deep, layered textures. With added velocity sensitivity, channel and polyphonic aftertouch, the Trident MK III opens up a far more expressive playing experience than the original hardware.
The all-new lower panel sections make it easier than ever to customise performance setups. The Motion panel offers drag-and-drop zones and one-click templates for building splits and layers across sections. A dual arpeggiator and 16x2 step sequencer bring added rhythmic control, while 17 studio-grade effects like BBD flanger, ring mod, and Lushverb can be stacked, routed, and reused in flexible chains with up to four plugins simultaneously. With over 370 presets and full MIDI mapping, this is a highly versatile upgrade on a vintage classic.

Each section of the Trident MK III has been upgraded with 16 voice, transforming the original’s limited polyphony into a much more powerful tool. The Synth section is now fully polyphonic, with individual filters for shaping each note. While the Brass and Strings sections remain paraphonic to retain their ensemble character, they each include dedicated filters for more control. These improvements allow for fuller, more detailed sounds without losing the original character of the Trident MK I and MK II.
The Trident MK III adds a full range of expressive performance features. Both velocity sensitivity and aftertouch with channel and polyphonic are now supported. This means players can bring natural expression to every performance, whether they're shaping individual notes or whole chords. These additions make the MK III far more playable than the original, especially when combined with the real-time controls and modulation options available in the interface.
The all-new Motion panel simplifies how users manage splits and layers. With drag-and-drop zone editing and one-click Quick Split templates, it’s fast and intuitive to assign keyboard ranges to the Synth, Brass, and Strings sections. Users can also add discreet vibrato, assign aftertouch modulation, and transpose sequences. The dual arpeggiators and 32-step polyphonic sequencer open up more possibilities for live and studio use, allowing complex parts to be programmed or performed on the fly.
Seventeen studio effects are included with the Trident MK III, far beyond the original’s BBD flanger and ensemble effects. Each section from the Synth, Brass, and Strings can have up to five effects in its chain, with full drag-and-drop control. There's also a global effects chain that processes the full mix. Effects like compressor, ring modulator, lo-fi, EQ, delay, and reverb (including the new Lushverb) are fully editable, rearrangeable, and saveable for reuse in other presets, bringing flexible, DAW-friendly processing inside the synth itself.
