you havent given much information to go on.....if your talking about the korg triton extreme 61....it has been discontinued recently....the juno G has the same sound engine as the Roland fantom X witch is there flagship board........I've heard good things about the triton but i cant speak from experience.....however, I own a juno G.
Its a real nice board....but....the keybed suks in my opinion...they should have put a nicer set of keys on a board that will do quite a lot.....as far as technology goes, i think the juno is a little more up to date and isnt gonna be discontinued anytime soon
But it all comes down to what YOU want the board to do....I also have some yamaha and kurzweil racks and the juno g compliments them pretty well when im in my studio, but if this will be your main board, make sure you play one b4 buying so you will know what im talking about with the keybed.....but overall, i like it

TR is not a Triton series keyboard. It won't be discontinued in the near future cause it is the "new" Triton LE. If you look at the pictures you'll notice that they are
the same keyboard except the color on the outside, but on the inside TR has
double size ROM (TR=64, LE=32), and has some new sounds taken from the Oasys
(they say the piano is taken from Oasys but it sux big time).
Both keyboards come in 61, 76 and 88 keys versions (88 are weighted keys).
TR has 64 voice polyphony, Juno G has 128. TR has waaaaaay better
arpeggios, and a lot more of them, has the sampling option as an extra
plug in board, and you can load most of the sounds from the Triton series,
but they won't sound the same cause TR uses only 1 insert effect for all
8 tracks in combi mode.
Oh, yea... TR has decent keys for that price range. They are not plasticky
and they are not semi-weighted like the ones on my Motif, but they are
somewhere in the middle.
Just try both keyboards. I had the TR so I know what I'm talking about,
but since I haven't tried Juno G, I can't say much about it...
You'll just have to try both of them, and before that - make a list
of what you need and expect from a keyboard you're buying.
