Full Bucket Music has coded out a reputation for creating great-sounding free plugin emulations of lesser-known vintage synths, and it’s up to its old-school tricks again with the release of Six-Traq, a software clone of 1984’s Sequential Circuits Six-Trak.
It might be one of Dave Smith’s lesser-known instruments, but the Six-Trak still has plenty to recommend about it. This was one of the first multitimbral MIDI synths, and featured six analogue oscillators and a - you guessed it - 6-track sequencer. Intuitive sound design could be tricky due to a lack of real-time controls, but if you wanted a scratchpad machine for coming up with ideas, it was an appealing option.
