Description

The Trigon-6 is Sequential's polyphonic version of the classic, smooth and punchy analog 3-oscillator plus ladder-filter sound that characterized the early days of the synthesizer era. It's a genre-defining sound. Trigon-6 is Sequential's own modern interpretation of this era.

At the heart of the Trigon-6 sound are three newly developed voltage-controlled oscillators (with triangle, sawtooth and pulse waves) and an optimized version of the ladder filter that Sequential developed for its Pro 3 monosynth. The switchable 2/4-pole resonant filter design features dedicated drive and feedback controls that effortlessly change the sound from crisp to silky and smooth with a simple turn of the pot.

The Trigon-6 combines the best qualities of Sequential's acclaimed Prophet-6 and OB-6 synths: 6-voice polyphony, unmatched playability, a logical signal flow, and a small footprint. Trigon-6 is equipped with a semi-weighted 4 octave keyboard including velocity and channel aftertouch. What distinguishes it from its siblings is its unmistakable sound characteristics, which are created with the help of the three oscillators and the ladder filter. Trigon-6 raises the bar for powerful polyphonic sounds.

Of course, the Trigon-6 features Sequential's full suite of synthesis capabilities, including super-fast envelopes, a syncable LFO with multiple waveforms and destinations, a polyphonic step sequencer, and an arpeggiator. Best of all, you can control these functions directly using the controls on the Trigon-6's front panel. And the ready-made palette of 500 factory and 500 user presets offers classic basses, leads and pads to get any project off the ground.

Sequential is led by legendary instrument designer and Grammy-winner Dave Smith, the founder of Sequential Circuits in 1974. In 1977 Dave designed the Prophet-5, the world’s first fully-programmable polyphonic synth, and the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor. Sequential released many innovative instruments and drum machines over the next 10 years. Dave is known as the driving force behind the MIDI specification in 1981. It was Dave, in fact, who coined the acronym. In 1987 he was named a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) for his continuing work in the area of music synthesis. After Sequential, Dave was President of DSD, Inc, an R&D division of Yamaha, where he worked on physical modeling synthesis and software synthesizer concepts. He then started the Korg R&D group in California, producing the Wavestation and other technology. He took over as President at Seer Systems and developed the first soft synth for Intel in 1994, followed by the first professional soft synth, Reality, released in 1997. Realizing the limitations of software, Dave returned to hardware and started Dave Smith Instruments, starting with the Evolver hybrid analog/digital synthesizer in 2002. The product lineup has grown to include the Prophet X, Prophet Rev2, Prophet-6, OB-6 (with Tom Oberheim), Pro 2, and Prophet 12 synthesizers, and the Tempest drum machine (with Roger Linn). In 2018 DSI changed its name to Sequential, bringing Dave’s legacy full-circle.
