01Overview

The Sequential Six-Trak was an early multitimbral synthesizer that offered MIDI control and patch recall at a relatively affordable price. Loot Audio captured most of its material directly from the hardware, so the library reflects the instrument's own character. The developer describes the Six-Trak as having a dark, warm voice, with filters that can self-oscillate into bells and percussive tones. Some patches were additionally processed through a vintage Eminent 310U chorus to add texture.

03In depth

Sound Character of the Six-Trak Samples

The Six-Trak is a polysynth with one oscillator per voice, and Loot Audio found it sounds surprisingly full for its design. The developer points to a dark tonal nature, a filter that can push into self-oscillation, and VCAs that allow the filter to be somewhat overdriven.

Because the samples are captured from the hardware, the raw material is authentic. The developer notes that many instruments in the library also explore new territory beyond the original sounds, so the collection is not limited to strict recreations.
