Sequential TRIGON-6 vs Minimoog head-to-head Comparison

12 Jan, 2023  No Comment

 

In the latest synthlegends video is a head-to-head comparison of the sound of the new Sequential Trigon-6 and the classic Moog Minimoog.

 

While this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison – the Trigon-6 is a polysynth that features a Moog-inspired voice architecture and the Minimoog Model D is a classic monophonic synth design – the video addresses a common question that many potential buyers have.

Video Summary:

“The TRIGON-6 has a similar architecture like a Minimoog Model D. There are 3 VCO with the same waveforms and a ladder filter.

The T-6 is polyphonic but in this video I played it in unison and tweaked some sounds to get it sounding similar to the Moog. The filter and resonance behavior are different and the oscillators in the Mini sound better IMO. In the T-6 they are a bit harsh whereas the Mini sounds more creamy. In some passages the synths sound very similar, so you can achieve moogish style sounds on the T-6.”

In this series of Korg videos, composer and synthesist David Mash leads a 7-part masterclass on the ARP 2600 synthesizer.

 

David Mash was involved with the reissue of the Korg ARP 2600 FS and the release of the ARP 2600m.

While the video features the Korg ARP 2600m, most of the discussion will apply equally to the original 2600 and its various copies.

Topics covered include an overview, patching, using the voltage processors, FM inputs to the VCOs, the sample and hold, the audio processor and more.
