Sequential Trigon-6 Module
A Powerful and Familiar Sound
The Trigon-6 is Sequential's polyphonic interpretation of the classic, thick, and creamy analog sound achieved by a ladder filter and three oscillators that ushered in the synthesizer era. A sound that transcends fashions and styles—now enhanced and reimagined with Sequential's unique touch.
New Filters and Oscillators
The heart of the Trigon-6 is three new voltage-controlled oscillators (with triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waveforms) and an improved version of the ladder filter Sequential designed for its Pro 3 monophonic synthesizer. The switchable 2/4-pole resonant filter design features dedicated drive and feedback controls that seamlessly transition from a powerful, raspy sound to a smoother, more voluptuous sound with the simple turn of a knob.
The Ideal Combination
The Trigon-6 combines all the qualities of the renowned Sequential Prophet-6 and OB-6 synths—6-voice polyphony, exceptional playability, ease of programming, and a manageable size—with a four-octave semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. It stands out from its predecessors with the unmistakable punch of the ladder filter combined with the three oscillators. It sets the bar high for what an ideal super-polyphonic synth could and should be.
To complete the picture
Naturally, the Trigon-6 benefits from all of Sequential's essential sound-shaping features, including crisp envelopes, a syncable LFO with multiple waveforms and destinations, a polyphonic step sequencer, and an arpeggiator. But most importantly, the Trigon-6's control panel, with its one-knob per function, puts every parameter at your fingertips. Finally, the 500 factory programs and 500 user memories allow you to start any project with a selection of basses, leads, and pads.
More Advanced Features
We also find Sequential's essential Poly Mod, enhanced to enhance sound creation. Modulation sources include the filter envelope and oscillator 3 (both with bipolar 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 available, with adjustable voice count (1 to 6 voices for a maximum of 18 simultaneous oscillators) as well as a note priority mode.
Dual Effects
The dual effects section includes studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), a chorus, a phaser, and a ring modulator. The independent stereo distortion adds aggression on demand and is 100% analog.
Adjustable Vintage Character
Finally, to give even more classic organic warmth to a synth than it already has, there's the Vintage knob, which adds variations in the calibration and behavior of components between voices. The vintage character is adjustable from subtle to extreme to emulate the stability of an ideal modern instrument or a time-worn relic.
More than just the sum of its components
All of 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, usability, and playability for a polyphonic analog synthesizer.
