Synthesizer

Sequential Trigon-6. 6-voice, 4-octave synthesizer, fusion of Sequential Prophet-6 and Oberheim OB-6.

ARTICLE N° 87784
The Sequential Trigon-6 is a polyphonic synthesizer that takes its inspiration from the classic, thick and creamy analogue sound typically achieved by the ladder filter and 3 oscillators of the early synthesizer era. Trigon-6 transcends modes and styles with Sequential's unique touch.

The Trigon-6 features new voltage-controlled oscillators and an improved version of the ladder filter Sequential developed with the Pro 3. The switchable 2/4-pole resonant filter design has separate drive and feedback controls, making it easy to switch between a powerful, gritty sound and a softer, smoother tone at the turn of a knob.

The Trigon-6 is a sort of descendant of the Prophet-6 and OB-6, retaining all their intrinsic qualities: 6-voice polyphony, playability, ease of programming and reasonable size. The four-octave semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch completes this fine instrument.

The Trigon-6 is distinguished from its predecessors by the inimitable punch of the ladder filter combined with the 3 oscillators. It sets the bar very high in terms of what an ideal super-polyphonic could and should be.

The Trigon-6 has the same format, interface and ease of use as the acclaimed Sequential Prophet-6 and OB-6, but with its own twist: a 3-VCO sound engine and ladder filter for a sound that's both powerful and familiar. The same sound that has proven itself since the beginning of the synth era.

The new VCOs and VCFs are completely discrete to deliver maximum punch and analogue warmth. Sequential has added its own personal touch to this timeless sound by adding feedback and drive control as well as a 2-pole mode to the ladder filter for greater versatility and a wider sound palette.

The Trigon-6 benefits from all of Sequential's essential sound-shaping features, including incisive envelopes, a syncable LFO with multiple waveforms and destinations, a polyphonic step sequencer and an arpeggiator. Best of all, the Trigon-6's control panel with one knob per function lets you control all parameters at your fingertips. And with 500 factory programs and 500 user memories, you can start any project with a selection of basses, leads and pads.

More advanced features:
Sequential's essential Poly Mod is also back, enhanced to enhance sound creation. Modulation sources include the filter envelope and oscillator 3 (both with bi-polar control), and destinations include the frequency of oscillators 1, 2 and 3, the pulse width of oscillators 1, 2 and 3, the filter cut-off frequency and the feedback level. A Unison mode is also available, with the number of voices adjustable (1 to 6 voices for a maximum of 18 simultaneous oscillators) as well as the note priority mode.

Dual effects:
The dual effects section features studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, phaser and a ring modulator. The independent stereo distortion adds aggression on demand and is 100% analogue.

Adjustable vintage character:
Finally, to give a synth even more classic organic warmth than it already has, you have the Vintage knob, which adds variations in calibration and component behaviour between voices. The vintage character can be adjusted from subtle to extreme to emulate the stability of an ideal modern instrument or a timeworn relic.

More than just the sum of its parts:
All this makes the Trigon-6 a truly modern synth with a powerful and versatile sound, typical of a ladder filter with 3 oscillators. It inherits the past, perfects the present and redefines the future in terms of accessibility, handling and playability for a polyphonic analogue synthesiser.
