The Trigon-6features the same form factor, UI, and ease of use as Sequential’s acclaimedProphet-6 and OB-6, but adds a new twist: a3-VCO-plus-ladder filtersound engine for a voice that is both bold and familiar. It’s a sound that has proven its appeal since the dawn of the synth era.
TheVCOs and VCFs are new discrete designs that delivermaximum analog punchand presence. Sequential has put its own unique stamp on this timeless sound by adding feedback, drive, and a new 2-pole mode to the ladder filter for more versatility and a broader tonal palette.
The Perfect Package
The Trigon-6 has all of the best qualities of Sequential’s acclaimed Prophet-6 and OB-6 synths — 6-voice polyphony, unrivaled playability, easy programmability, and modest footprint — packed into a four-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch. What differentiates it from its siblings is its unmistakable “3-oscillators-through-a ladder-filter” punch. It raises the bar for what the ideal power poly can and should be.
Rounding Out The Picture
Naturally, the Trigon-6 has the full complement of Sequential’s ”must-have” sound-sculpting features including super snappy envelopes, a syncable LFO with multiple waveforms and destinations, a polyphonic step sequencer, and an arpeggiator. Best of all, the knob-per-function front panel of the Trigon-6 puts these conttrols at your fingertips. And the ready-made palette of 500 factory and 500 user presets provides classic basses, leads, and pads to jump start any project.
More Power Features
Also present is Sequential’s classic Poly Mod, with enhancements for creative sound design. Modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 3 (both with bi-polar control). Destinations include oscillator 1, 2, and 3 frequency, oscillator 1, 2, and 3 pulse width, filter cutoff, and feedback. Unison mode is here as well, featuring configurable voice count (1-6 voices for up to 18 simultaneous oscillators) and key modes.
Dual Effects
The dual effects section provides studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, flanger, phaser, and ring modulator. The independent stereo distortion effect adds on-demand aggression and is 100% analog.
Adjustable Vintage Character
Finally, to give even more classic organic warmth to an already classic synth, there’s the Vintage Knob, which adds voice-to-voice variations in calibration and component behavior. Vintage behavior is adjustable from subtle to extreme to emulate the stability of a perfect modern instrument or a time-worn relic.
More Than the Sum of Its Parts
Add all of this up and the Trigon-6 represents a modern synth workhorse with a bold, versatile, 3-oscillator ladder filter-based sound. It builds on the past, refines the present, and redefines the future for accessibility, portability, and playability in an analog poly synth.

I was tired of lifting heavy speakers out of my house, then into my car, then out of my car, into the venue and up onto stands and then having to run leads to everything, all before a performance. My son recommended the JBL eon mk2, as he had hired the same for his gigging. I can be set up in less than 10 minutes and pull down in the same time.

Review by Robert P. on 6 Apr 2025review stating SSL E Dyn
Loving the SSL E Dyn. Apparently this was on every channel during sessions with the console. I can see why. Great way to get a clean punchy signal into your DAW. Love the extender circuit as well, it does a great job of keeping any unwanted background noise out of your recording.
