Its vast sound architecture sports 3 (!) fully equipped envelopes (digital, sadly), filter-FM, and much more. It offers 100 memories (factory presets by John Bowen), its keyboard action is very pleasant (a billion times better than any Pro-One keyboard), it has 6 voices and is multi-timbral. Despite its small size, it is capable of stunning, great, modular-like, powerful electronic sounds. The Sequential Six-Trak turns out to be a brilliant musical instrument. There are lot of confusing new toys, many little boxes, few buttons … all essentially strange instruments! Whether a Six-Trak, a Max, a Multi-Trak, a Split-Eight or whatever … names come and go.
Essentially, the 8-voice Prophet T-8 has sunk back into oblivion.
The humans on earth are happy and delighted, it’s the dawn of a new era …Ī few years later … everything’s back to normal, except for a bit of clamour as that little devil Sequential Pro-One takes the continents by storm.
But in 1978, the amazing Sequential Prophet-5 is borne. Being immortal, this is quite a boring life. Imagine you’re one of those ancient Greek semi-gods, and you’ve been sitting on a cloud for thousands of years just watching what’s going on on earth. Just couldn’t live without it.īut let’s start way back in the 70s. In the meantime, I bought another Six-Trak, of course. With each soundfile, I became more aware that selling this beauty was one of my biggest mistakes. So I’ve spent the last few days with my Six-Trak, recording samples for a review. The Sequential Circuits Six-Trak is one of the few (small) analog synths that really took me by surprise! Sadly enough, I had just decided to part with the instrument when I discovered its enormous potential! There was a small chance that the buyer might loose interest in the deal, but of course … he didn’t!
