That's right, vaiman7777. At first glance, Trigon-6 is ticking all the boxes in this this-or-that monsterfest quadruple-whammy off-center double-dinger crystal-laden overnight binge.
I walked into Perfect Circuit the other day having zero interest in this instrument, already own too many polysynths… and unexpectedly, this was the new synth I could not stop playing. Had one of those moments where it feels like everything you play sounds amazing.
This was literally me today, except that I only own one poly and it's technically a drum machine (DSI Tempest). The Trigon was the clear winner in terms of sound and function.
7:20 Six voices is the sweet spot when playing using the arpeggiator was well because you can have long release time and smear the whole thing into wonderful chords and never have sour notes left over
Magic as always lads. As expected it sounds absolutely phenomenal! That intro patch was lush - meant to say particularly when you brought in the distortion. Man.
I finally got a chance to jam on the Trigon via some Barefoot monitors, OMG it sounds so epic. Only factor preventing me from adding Trigon is space - no more room in the studio! Thanks for posting guys! Cheers.
Quoting the troll Danke Place, "Your handle is ironic, I mean you should lead by example, rather than post about little you know about." Dear know-it-all troll Danke Place, I've owned, repaired, designed, built and played synths for 45 years. I worked in the electronics industry for 40+ years including PCB design. I wire wrapped a prototype of one of the first MIDI interfaces that plugged into the back of a Commodore 64 back in the day. I have repaired and upgraded hundreds of synths, including Memorymoogs and Chromas. I was 13 yrs. old when I bought a Korg MS-10 as my second synth. I've had keyboards with poly-aftertouch for decades since I own multiple Ensoniq models with PAT. I recently bought the Hydrasynth Deluxe with PAT. The new Waldorf Iridium MKII keyboard has PAT. A lot of modules and VSTs recognize PAT. I'm not going to speculate how old you are or your experience with synths, since I only know you as a troll. You do not know anything about the people you troll and if you insult them on-line, it just makes you an anonymous bully. So stop trying to feel good about yourself by insulting strangers. And BTW Synthpunk rocks! You just don't get him.
5:50 Jack, you need to do more of this, let the sequences run and do some knob twisting, you would be amazed how much fun it is. 6:30 is like a thick sick honey trying to get out but is so viscous that it just hangs there. So much bass too. This is just 6 voices? LOL man oh man it's so thick and heavy.
As with my Prophet 6. if you step through the factory patches, it's mostly underwhelming. But if you actually start programming some useful sounds, it'll blow you away.
That was true especially with the Prophet-6. Factory patches underwhelmed completely. After a few weeks I had left them all behind as was in some gigantic sweet spot that they never found.
You can afford, you just need to remove some organs and sell on eBay. Everything is affordable though, you just need to put it into perspective and sacrifice some other things.
Worth $1800 at most. If it had 8-16 voices, multi-timbral, more filters, matrix mod-- maybe $2K and please no more crappy keyboards, we all will have poly aftertouch soon. Prophet-6, OB-6, Trigon-6. DSI, are you trying to recreate the 80's by going bankrupt making poly synths??????

@SYNTHPUNK And you said a Rev2 was better than a MoogOne? Maybe you're confused due to not knowing anything about synths? Remember you bought a Cobalt8x and told everyone how it was the best Wavetable synth around, when you got corrected that it was VA and were the laughing stock of the synth community, you sent the synth back and changed your story to, oh it can sound like Wavetable, what ever that means. Rev 2 and T6 are nothing alike, unless you have had your head buried in the sand?
Really? We will all have PAT soon will we? PAT has been around since CS80, so 46 years, why is it no company is offering PAT on keyboards other than a few? Your handle is ironic, I mean you should lead by example, rather than post about little you know about.

R.I.P Dave was his last bit he was working on.
2:58 - 3:33 was nice. Loved the distortion effect.

Oh wow! Patch 89 is incredible. I want one of those Andertons hoodies too 🔥

Desktop doesn't take up much room
The design looks soo good
2:56 YOU STOP RIGHT NOW WITH THAT FIRE!!
The last synth Dave Smith worked on.
7:20 Six voices is the sweet spot because you've basically got a keyboard version of a 12 steing guitar. Or with the Trigon, an 18 string guitar!🤣

1.38: Just like you said Jack, that was "PHAT"!!
Smooth first patch
Would love to hear ur comparison thoughts, Ob6 vs trigon
They sound very different to me. Trigon is more like a brighter Prophet-6.
This is just an unreal instrument
5:50 Jack, you need to do more of this, let the sequences run and do some knob twisting, you would be amazed how much fun it is.
6:30 is like a thick sick honey trying to get out but is so viscous that it just hangs there. So much bass too.
This is just 6 voices? LOL man oh man it's so thick and heavy.
I literally play the Prophet-6 and OB6 like that all the time. It can stretch to 45 minutes no problem.
Great video guys.

Sequential's Memorymoog - 1 octave
6:30 has got some real BITE.
Man this sounds good
Sounds better than a nord stage 4
I’m debating between this , prophet xl and poly brute
Perfect sound 😉👍📸🎹🔊🔉🥇🏆
8 minutes of the first patch would have been enough to sell it.
So dope
That’s nice
Price drop I notice as of 12 August 2023. 👍

Great another 3k synth I can't afford!
You can afford, you just need to remove some organs and sell on eBay.

jack, you got more licks than a tootsie pop, babe!
A four octave keyboard for three and a half grand? Is it £2000 better than a T5?
its essentially a prophet 6 - Minimoog mashup. its quite the expensive synth but that's the default for Sequential.
334 sounds like trance armin van buuren

@SYNTHPUNK Technically, yes, but I don’t get on with how Rev-2 sounds. As always, YMMV. It’s nice to have options.
IDK... This Trigon does sound perfect.... the price is unfortunately pretty extreme, but I certainly would love one!
If they are made in America, then I believe the price is justified. American labor isn’t cheap.
