Product information "Sequential Trigon-6 B-Ware"
With the Trigon-6, Sequential is expanding its range alongside the OB-6 and Prophet 6 to include a 6-voice synthesiser with 3 VCOs for the first time and the ladder filter design developed for the Pro-3, giving it its own sound characteristics.
The resonant filter, which can be switched between 2 and 4 poles, can be adjusted with the drive and feedback controls to produce a sound that is either pithy or silky smooth. The 6-voice polyphonic synthesiser has a soft but assertive, rich basic sound, MIDI of course, as well as a velocity-sensitive keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch and a wide range of routing options.
Other features include a dual effects section, which can also be completely removed from the signal path with true bypass, as well as an arpeggiator and step sequencer.
The side and end panels made of light-coloured maple wood give the Trigon-6 its striking visual charm.

Behind the synthesizer workshop Sequential Circuits from San Francisco stands the small but distinguished company of the legendary synth pioneer and Grammy winner Dave Smith. Dave Smith is also regarded as the driving force behind the MIDI specification, worked on physical modelling synthesis in Yamaha's development department as President, and among other achievements produced the Korg Wavestation and other technologies that are now legendary. After developing software synthesizers for Intel in 1994, he realised that his heart lay much more with hardware synthesizers and shortly afterwards founded his own company Dave Smith Instruments. Classics followed, such as the Prophet-X, Prophet Rev2, Prophet-6, OB-6 and the Tempest drum machine in collaboration with Roger Linn, to name just a few cult instruments. Dave Smith renamed his company DSI to Sequential in 2018 to close that chapter of his legacy.
The success story of his current company actually began in 1974. That year he not only founded his company, but also developed his first musical instrument, the analogue 16-step sequencer. The wood-cased sequencer was called the Model-600 and was originally intended just for Dave's personal Minimoog. But his invention was so well received that he sold a number of units. Driven by those first sales, the digital sequencer Model-800 and the Programmer Model-700 for Minimoog and ARP-2600 followed, before in 1978 he achieved perhaps his greatest triumph. With the Prophet 5 he developed the first fully programmable analogue polyphonic synthesizer with built-in microprocessors.
Just two years later he doubled the polyphony with the Prophet 10 and caused a sensation on the fiercely contested synthesizer market. In 2020 we were delighted to hear that Dave intended to breathe new life into his two flagships, the Prophet-5 and Prophet-10, with revised features while keeping the same circuitry. We are hugely proud to inform you on our landing page "The Return of the Prophets" about the most important innovations.
History has never sounded better!
