The Trigon-6 is Sequential's interpretation and in a polyphonic version of that classic, thick, creamy analog sound achieved by a ladder filter and 3 oscillators that marked the beginning of the synthesizer era. A sound that transcends modes and styles - now enhanced and redesigned with Sequential's unique touch.

New filter and oscillators
At the heart of the Trigon-6 are three new voltage-controlled oscillators (with triangle, sawtooth, pulse waveforms) and an improved version of the ladder filter designed by Sequential for its Pro 3 monophonic synthesizer. The switchable 2/4-pole resonant filter design has dedicated drive and feedback controls that allow you to seamlessly switch from a powerful, raucous sound to a softer, more voluptuous sound with the turn of a knob.

The perfect combination

The Trigon-6 has all the qualities of the famous Sequential Prophet-6 and OB-6 synths - 6-voice polyphony, exceptional playability, ease of programming and reasonable size - combined with a four-octave semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. It is distinguished from its predecessors by the inimitable punch of the ladder filter associated with the 3 oscillators. It sets the bar high for what an ideal super-polyphonic could and should be.

To complete the picture

Naturally, the Trigon-6 benefits from all of Sequential's must-have sound-shaping features, including incisive envelopes, a syncable LFO with multiple waveforms and destinations, a polyphonic step sequencer and an arpeggiator. Most importantly, 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 classic Poly Mod is also present, 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 cutoff frequency and the feedback level. A Unison mode is also present, 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 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 is adjustable 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 3 oscillator ladder filter. It inherits the past, perfects the present, and redefines the future in terms of accessibility, playability, and manageability for a polyphonic analog synthesizer.
