Author: Andy Merrett / Data Driven
Overview
The Sequential Trigon-6 is a synthesizer released in 2022. It is aimed at musicians wanting to create and modify their own sounds.
The Trigon-6 has 49 semi-weighted full sized keys with touch sensitivity and aftertouch. It has 12 notes of polyphony. It has hundreds of on board sounds but no acoustic piano sounds, and a sustain/damper pedal. It has built-in MIDI capabilities. It has no built-in learning system. It has no built-in speakers which means you will have to connect it to external amplification and speakers in order to hear it. It runs from AC power.

Description
3-VCO AND LADDER FILTER ANALOG POLY SYNTH
Step into the spotlight with a sound that demands attention. The Trigon-6’s bold 3-oscillator design ensures you’ll make a powerful impression, while the enhanced ladder filter provides precise sound shaping for sonic success in any situation.
Trigon-6 redefines an iconic sound from the golden age of synthesizers, elevating it to brand new heights. This enduring voice design has garnered widespread acclaim from musicians around the world, and now with Sequential’s enhancements, Trigon-6 empowers you to create truly exceptional, attention-grabbing sounds that take control of your mix.
Sometimes more is more. With three oscillators, you can already achieve advanced sound design goals, but Sequential didn’t stop there. And when you choose to take your sound completely over the top, Trigon-6 allows you to combine triangle, saw, and pulse waves simultaneously per oscillator for a truly massive tonal palette.
Considered one of the best sounding filter types ever designed, the ladder is renowned for its powerful and full-bodied tone. With the addition of drive and feedback controls, you can easily transition from creamy to crunchy with the twist of a knob, and the ability to switch between 4-pole and 2-pole operation provides even greater control over the filter’s response and character.
Take center stage with Trigon-6, a powerful analog polysynth that exudes character and leaves an unforgettable sonic impression.
With Trigon-6’s easy knob-per-function layout, it’s fast and easy to tweak your settings on the fly, perfect for live performances and spontaneous creativity. Get right to what matters most – making your impact on today’s music.
The Trigon-6 desktop module offers the same colossal sound and hands-on sonic control as the keyboard. Despite its compact size, it boasts the identical six-voice polyphonic power, and for those craving even more polyphony, the poly chain feature allows you to link two Trigon-6s, creating an attention-grabbing 12-voice synth!
Synthesis
- Three discrete VCOs per voice
- Simultaneously selectable wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, and variable-width pulse
- Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2
- Keyboard tracking on/off and low frequency mode (oscillator 3)
- Oscillator feedback and drive controls for increased signal saturation
- White Noise source
- Switchable two/four-pole, discrete, resonant, low-pass, ladder filter per voice
- Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
- Filter Keyboard tracking: off, half, full
- Four-stage (ADSR) Filter envelope generator
- Four-stage (ADSR) Amp envelope generator
- Velocity modulation of envelope amounts, with bi-polar filter envelope amount
- Five LFO wave shapes: sine, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold)
- LFO sync
- LFO Initial amount
- LFO Mod destinations: oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 2 frequency, oscillator 3 frequency, oscillator 1 pulse width, oscillator 2 pulse width, oscillator 3 pulse width, filter cutoff, amp (VCA)
