In polyphonic mode it can create gorgeous overlapping synth textures reminiscent of powerful Jarre strings and bright Vangelis brassy leads. For example find a sound in the presets that you don’t like tweak it into something inspiring and save it over the top.
The 100 factory presets show off some potential but there were also a lot of pointless patches (imo) so I’ve been through tweaking and saved loads of my own patches for future inspiration.
#SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS SIX TRACK MANUAL#
I guess the pitch bend can be adjusted with a variable inside but even the manual says “about a 3rd”! Sounds The pitch bend wheel is a bit dodgy as they hadn’t fixed an accurate note range like +3/-3 for eg, plus it is not spring balanced, but you get used to it and this doesn’t effect the midi response. There is stepping when controlled this way due to the 121 steps used to store patches but this is only really noticeable at the bass end and when parameters are moved very slowly. You can have one controller at a time assigned to the knob so you do have hands-on control over filter cutoff etc if you need it. It is a shame it doesn’t have knobs all over it, but I still find programming it is great fun and produces a rich diversity of sounds. It’s sound is vintage and kinda dirty or gritty. It may be the little brother of the SCI series but with 6 note polyphony, 6 voice multi-timbral stacking and full CC midi control I rate this very highly indeed. This is a compact little power-house of analogue warmth and character. SCI Six-trak 1984, Full Midi, 6 VCO polyphonic analogue synthesizer
