Sequential Circuits Six-Trak

Full analog synth 6 voice polyphony

UTILIZATION

recess I just put my two cents on this point that repels ordinary mortals. "Oulala there's no pots, too boring to program." NO. This is one of the first synths to push the implementation noon, so any controller noon to 30 balls transform this austere panel in paradise tweaking.

SOUNDS

Question tone, this beast will please those seeking a retro pulp in their sound. Some agreements with some release and a tad slow mod on the pitch, and buddies of Boards of Canada are not far away. It is silky, round, it's about anything. The stack mode (stacking six programs into a multi-timbral polyphonic) is very fun and allows the main bearing of this toy defect, namely only 1 VCO and a matrix of conventional modulation. But honestly for the price, ending up with 6 lanes of his "Sequential" provides damn fun. We even have a small sequencer and arpeggiator bonus! Oh and I forgot the unison mode which makes the animal more damn nasty on leads and bass (it's quite a bonus, right?)

OVERALL OPINION

In short, in the context of speculation around the old analos I place this SixTrak in the top of the podium bargains: pure polyphonic weird-vintage juice, original functions (the stack), Original MIDI implementation, storing presets (if you take it live ... it can help the beast is pretty solid)
Compared for example to a Juno 106 which leaves at this time around 1000 bullets because he has some faders on the front, I laugh quietly ...!

49 keys, lacquered wood cts ... At first glance, the syxtrak looks like a toy ugly. Then you look a little better, and aperoit the (small) sequence, (lightweight) arpgiateur, the programming buttons, then costs a little better, and we feel very heavy analogue of the large , we understand that is the bte MIDI ... and you attached to it. In a polyphony of six notes, this thing is very well for bass heavy pads redundant stuff trs punchy, sounds apriodiques, caressing the R2D2. Mode stack is extraordinary given that each is composed of the three waveforms much fat, add 6 sounds of a button and Listen to your exact: it is bold, bold ... and awfully good!

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple to program, also quite tedious (all information goes through two numbers that appear in front faade), the volume knob and a rotary knob gaient a little while a. In very small in the user manual it is described that allows MIDI control in real time each of the 32 (!) Paramtres sound. I tried your exact is great, but should not push too hard when same: at a certain del quotation, the systrak dcroche ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are expressive, powerful, punchy, bold ... It's nice analog. The sheets are slightly worse than on other analog: the specially of systrak is lead sound, punchy, bass crying Misr in the world ...

OVERALL OPINION

I was wrong to my systrak Spar, and I regret amrement trs. This keyboard has a sound that now lack all these modern things "virtual analog", and other ultra-mega-giga-dspvirtualiss.

One of the first synths noon and happiness is that it is Fully implementations in Control Change, polyphonic and voice multitimbral 6 6 parts, but no effect is not bad all for the era right?

Dave Smith, crateur of Sequential Circuits released the Evolver rcemment enough, it does not even rpond CC ...... will understand.

See data sheet for the SPS.

I am obliged to 7 for CC and multitimbral but otherwise a compartment or other Andromeda Obviously it does not compare to 2 minutes when I can synthse and put 3 or 4 .

UTILIZATION

This synthesis could not be easier if you edit a few bases in synthse subtractive, and then if there is no "let's hack ... it makes for a synthquot;.
There are some key combinations even know when, for example the ignition it does not reoit CC by default.
The manual is well done with one or two tutorials for beginners but incomplete on program changes and CC.

A Premire you say to a single knob, pav numrique, blah not good for the publishing and has done well in going fast enough, there is no 200 paramtres to edit make a sound (there are 35 + just a 36th that is not shown on the channel rgler srigraphie for MIDI), I myself silent accustomed.
I ended up sticking him a MIDI and Controller's foot.

Without Controller MIDI Note = 6
Controller with MIDI Note = 10

I put 8

SOUNDS

I love the sound is simple, the FX science fiction kitsch, low for the d'n'b, dub ... the poles are hardtek, a big kick or a lead tekno ultra classic ... j love it all.
And unison .... Aie Aie Aie, admnage.

Mode stack mitigates somewhat the lack of LFO's (if you want) because you can stack 6 sounds, makes a good sound Barrs, scrolls and modulating, or simply large sheets, but (there better) or a good big kick ................

The filter (self-oscillating) really I find a particular sound is "grainy" when you go up the resolution and cost.

I post a demo in its tricks and a mode stack.

To touch the keyboard I can not tell, no aftertouch or VLOC, damage adpanne but still when you have no keyboard matre.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had little prs 8 months, the CC is happiness, the sound is beautiful to me APRS, plutt pais ... or end it as the synthse is not growing so it is well suited to beginners, personally I need a synth that goes further by synthse now but I will keep it because it has the great sound and then a synth analog (CONTRL numriquement course) the price is polyphonic multimbral Bonnard and not grow on trees.

The plus is the squenceur 600 notes, it's little, but frankly a live tekno enough.

At first it's tough, he is 21 this casually synthle mine runs like a charm and I used almost every day, I did that for about eight months and see the RAS time ... so far.

Report qualitprix INTERESTED.

Know that there is a change for 6 outputs spares and although the brand is no longer there is still support thanks to former employees of Sequential, they sell kits interviews, spices and dtach rparent.
It's called Wine Country.

I find it quite ugly but what do we tape it.

I Rasht tomorrow without worries.
