tychomusic Huge congrats to Sequential for the announcement of their new synthesizer, the Trigon 6. I had the great honor of designing the front panel graphics and contributing to the module layout. It was a dream come true to sit in on meetings and see Dave and the team working through the design of this synth. I met Dave a couple years ago through a mutual friend and one day we were discussing the design of the original Sequential Logo. I mentioned I had been a graphic designer in a past life and Dave said he had a project I might be interested in. He shared the details of a polyphonic synthesizer built around the iconic ladder filter design and it was truly inspiring to hear someone who after so many years innovating was still passionate about their craft. I of course jumped at the opportunity and although I only contributed to the cosmetic aspects it was fascinating to see the process that goes into designing an analog synthesizer. I tend to think of these instruments as magic boxes and often forget that dedicated, visionary engineers like Dave spend countless hours dreaming these things up so that artists and music fans can be inspired.
So congrats again to the team at Sequential, I think Dave would have been very proud of how this instrument turned out.
