Full Bucket Music Six-Traq: Free Sequential Circuits Six-Trak Emulation
If you’re constantly on the hunt for free software synths, you’ve surely come across some of Full Bucket Music’s awesome freebies. The developer’s excellent emulations of vintage analog synths regularly earn top spots on lists of the best free software synths. With the newly released Six-Traq, Full Bucket Music has now added an emulation of the Sequential Circuits Six-Trak to this list.
According to the developer, the plugin offers a close simulation of the original hardware. Aimed at budget-conscious musicians, the original Six-Trak featured a typical 80s-style push-button interface that allowed for editing one parameter at a time. You first had to type in the parameter number to be able to edit its value using the single knob – not very intuitive. Thankfully, Full Bucket Music’s version offers an additional extended editing section at the bottom, where you’ll find plenty of rotary knobs for tweaking. All parameters are also MIDI-controllable.
As the name suggests, the Six-Trak was able to produce six different sounds simultaneously, which made it one of the first multi-timbral synthesizers. Full Bucket Music’s emulation retains this functionality, although the maximum polyphony has been increased to up to 96 voices. You can send each track to an individual output. Like the original, the Six-Traq plugin also offers an onboard sequencer, as well as an arpeggiator.
Furthermore, Six-Traq comes with a convenient patch browser for storing and recalling presets and programs. With 64 presets, each of which can hold up to 100 programs and two sequences, the plugin offers a whole lot more storage than the original.
