Join our official Discord for live chat discussions and feedbackĪIR is an interview podcast series with a different theme each episode. To technofy is to become aware of the coevolution of machine and human, the secret life of machines, the computerization of the world, the programming of history, the informatics of reality.Kodwo Eshun, More Brilliant Than The Sun 1998, p.103 Regular Events Press PATTERN CLEAR for rhythmatic synthesis. Press the ENTER button on the Roland composer. The Six-Trak's over all dimensions are 28" x 12" x 4 1/2".it's necessary to technofy first yourself, then the world. Also on the back panel is the MIDI interface (IN\OUT), a stereo audio out jack which doubles as a headphone jack, and a footswitch (sustain) jack. The Six-Trak's patches and Sequences can only be backed up through MIDI. The modulation wheel controls the LFO amount. The pitch wheel is fixed at a range of a major 3rd up and a minor 3rd down. The keyboard can be split into three areas. It can be set to play on voice six as a chord is played with the other five voices. The arpeggiator can be switched to up, down, or assignable, which arpeggiates notes in the order they were played. Both mono and stack modes are selectible between single and multiple triggering modes. Stack mode allows each voice to be set to a different patch and played as one complex monophonic sound. The Six-Trak features polyphonic portamento (in polyphonic mode), unison mode, and "stack" mode. The Six-Trak uses parameter access programming via a single data knob and a single two-digit LED display. Without a computer, programming is a bit of a chore. Available waveforms for the LFO are square and triangle with controls for amount and frequency. The LFO can be routed to the VCO, the VCR, and pulse width modulation. Both the VCF's and the VCO's ADSRs can be inverted. In each voice the VCO, VCF, and VCA have their own ADSR envelope generators with variable envelope amounts. The filter is self-resonating and can be modulated by the oscillator. Keyfollow modulation can be set to off, half, or full keyboard. The filter section features controls for the cut-off frequency, and resonance. Each oscillator can be mixed with the noise generator. The VCO has coarse and fine tuning, glide (portamento), and available sawtooth, triangle, and pulse (with pulse width modulation) waveforms. It is also syncable to an external source.Įach voice consists of a single Curtis 3394 chip, which basically contains the entire synth engine (one VCO, a VCF, a VCA, and an LFO) except for the ADSR envelope generators. Also available was a built-in 800 note sequencer consisting of two multitimbral Six-Trak sequences with individual volume controls. Each voice can be programmed to any of 100 internal patches and played (via an external sequencer or external keyboard controller) as a separate monophonic synth. ![]() Some say that the SixTrak was the first multitimbral MIDI synth to respond to multiple MIDI channels. The Six-Trak was also designed as a MIDI instrument. ![]() Sequential marketed the Six-Trak and its software with their Drumtraks drum machine as a complete MIDI system. The software allowed you to program the voices and the sequencer. Software was available for the Commodore 64 computer, then a very popular home personal computer. It was one of the first multitimbral MIDI instruments designed to be used with a computer. The Six-Trak is a 6-voice, polyphonic, multitimbral, programmable analog synthesizer with MIDI, a squencer, an arpeggiator, and a 4-octave, 49-note (C-C) keyboard.
