Today, we're diving into the Sequential Trigon 6, one of the most unique and exciting synths to come out of Sequential in recent years. While it's a departure from Dave Smith’s classic designs, the Trigon 6 carves out its own sonic space—blending Moog-inspired warmth with modern flexibility and powerful features.
🎛 Moog Ladder Filter + 3 Oscillators = Pure Analog Magic
At the heart of the Trigon 6 is a classic Moog-style ladder filter paired with three oscillators, giving it a sound profile that echoes the legendary Mini Moog while pushing into new territory. Its tone is a lush hybrid between the Mini Moog and Studio Electronics SE1X, with a modern twist thanks to features like overdrive and a vintage knob for added character.
🎹 Polyphony + Performance-Ready Features
Unlike classic mono synths, the Trigon 6 offers polyphony, opening the door for rich chords, lush pads, and complex harmonic textures reminiscent of the Memory Moog. Combine that with an intuitive sequencer, arpeggiator, and top-tier onboard effects, and you’ve got a gig-ready machine that delivers both depth and versatility.
