Espen has now done a second bank

I did it, I bought a Trigon. Gorgeous synth, inside and out. I wasn't convinced by the blonde wood in pics and vids online, but in real life, it's lovely. I'd planned to sell my Prophet 6 to cover the cost of the Trigon, but the Trigon made me realize how attached I am to the P6. The P6 isn't the be-all of synths for me (that'd be the Prophet 5), but the thought of letting it go reminded me of so many things I love about it, things that the Trigon can't do. But enough about the P6...

The Trigon just sounds massive, right? Effort has to be made to tone it down... it has so many features that build the sound up and up. The 3 oscs that easily overdrive the filter, the Drive knob, the Feedback function, the Vintage knob... being able to use all available waveforms per osc, as on the P5... Like I said, the energy goes towards trying to rein this synth in. The low end is, as I'd pictured, proper ladder low. I like the Distortion on this more than that on the P6.

I've got the Trigon downstairs in my basement studio. It's in front of the sofa, away from any other gear. As I did when I first got the P6, I'm enjoying just finding my way around the front panel, and playing and listening. The Sequential 6 series, even at 4 octaves, are such playable instruments. Anyway, I love this thing and have tricked myself into not selling it, cash and studio space be damned.

I can confirm a similar result - hooked my Prophet 5 via CV/Gate to the Pro One. No pitch bend info sent. The Grandmother CV/Gate out into the Pro One does send pitch bend info.

This came up previously somewhere (probably this forum, possibly my own post?!) some time back, but I can't find the post and have no guess as to why the P5 doesn't send bend info other than "it just doesn't." Curious if anyone from Sequential might read this and chime in...

Got my T-6 this week and was playing around and came across a (probably noob) question:

Preset 172 is a unison patch. When I change it to poly, though, I experience a weird behavior:

Every 5th note doesn't sound. I thought it might be a modulation thing... Nope, not as far as I can tell. It doesn't seem to be the envelopes. I'll play a scale and no matter how I fiddle with it it basically drops every 5th out of 6 notes. It does not do this on other patches so I'm just scratching my head trying to figure out what setting is affecting this.

Any ideas? This is less about using this particular patch and more about trying to understand what's under the hood. Thanks!

I noticed a lot of popping I haven't experienced on any other synthesizer when first playing my new Trigon.

After a lot of troubleshooting, I have narrowed it down to 2 voices. The attack of each emits a pop (not a click). It's even present when turning the volume of every oscillator down to 0. Successive key presses will emit a pop each time the key presses reach the same two voices. Seems to be linked to the variability between voice cards that is often described as normal behavior, but this sound isn't normal. It isn't something anyone I know would accept on a recording. As I said, it sounds like I'm clipping, just not as loud. shell shockers

Turning the vintage knob up makes it worse. Turning the attack knob to 9 o'clock or further relieves the issue most of the time. I've calibrated the unit around 20 times since I got it yesterday. Any advice is much appreciated. I love this instrument, so I'm really hoping there's a fix here. Thanks!

Ensure that the voices exhibiting the popping issue are not being over-triggered or stolen by other voices. Voice stealing can sometimes cause this type of artifact.
