Full Bucket Music has released a new synthesizer instrument that is inspired by Sequential Circuits’ classic synthesizer from 1984.
Being the very first multi-timbral synthesizer, it offered a new way to record at home – a bold step beyond! The Six-Trak’s impact on the music community and industry cannot be underestimated.
In my younger days I always wanted to have this machine. Six different tracks (albeit monophonic) simultaneously available from a single device were pure luxury. But it came with a price, and that was usability. Today, I would not have the patience to work with the original hardware (nor its successor, the Multi-Track), but in the 80s the world was different…
I never got a Six-Trak – although it was rather cheap at the time, it still was to expensive for me. That (and because Nostalgia overwhelmed me) is the reason why I recreated the Six-Trak here in software.
Six-Traq features
- Close simulation of the original hardware.
- Extended Poly/Multi modes, up to 96 voices polyphony.
- Oscillator with three waveforms, additional white noise generator.
- Classic self-resonating four-pole lowpass filter.
- Individual envelopes for oscillator, filter and amplifier.
- Onboard sequencer and arpeggiator.
- SysEx import/export.
- Supports MTS-ESP by ODDSound dynamic micro-tuning.
- Resizable user interface (not “N” version).
- MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC.
The synth plugin is available to download for Windows and Mac (VST2/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP).
