@rediculus08 You can control all the parameters with any midi controller that send midi CC. Then you'll program each knob and slider on your controller to the corresponding midi CC value of the parameter you want to control. ex: take any knob on your controller and assign it to the midi cc # 21. That will now control the Cuttof on the Six-Trak ! you do the same for all the other knob and slider. The midi CC of the Six-Trak range from #2 to #36.
@ticounecool oooo thanks. I am thinking about getting one. You don't have your MIDI chips modded or anything do you? I guess it's just funny that I have never seen anyone do that with a Sixtrak. I also assume that you can send the synth note data while sending it CC data from the same port of a MIDI controller, right?
To marcpinol, Hi again, you can control each sound patch with a midi CC controller and save them but after that you don't have a choice to push stack mode 1 or 2 assign a patch to each voice and mix the volume of each (Do you know how to do this ? Ex : simply push and hold voice #1 button and in the same time turn the knob under it to your taste. I know it's a bum that it Only have 2 memory for stack mode, 100 would have been nice but better than nothing.
Did it! Kinda hard to understand the process, but it's worth the effort... Can I control then each voice with the controller or everytime I want to play in stack mode will be the same pain in the ass?
To MarcPinol part 2of2 :To do like this video, you need to prepare each individual sound you want to use before going in stack mode. When your individual sounds will be to your taste, you'll put them in Unison, don't worry, because once in stack mode unison is out. But that technique will permit you to control your stack mode patch in midi CC + using Legato for non retrigger filter enveloppe effect. Please note that there is no way to save the editing you will do in midi CC Stack mode.
@ticounecool Yeah, I noticed that you use the stack mode in a way I haven't think about before. So it's possible to made an unison patch preparing individual sounds... Wow, that's crazy! If you can post a video explaining the process I would be eternally grateful with you. I just tried but I think I don't understand the way to do it yet. By the way, since I saw this video I love much more (if that's possible) this little beast.
Thanks Marcpinol,Part 1 of 2 : very easy just CC from 1 to 35, that's'it ! That will permit you to control everything in real time to create new patch and save them into the Six-trak and that is in normal mode (6 voice poly, single vco)
Nice video! I have a Six-Trak and I would like to control like you do. This week I receive a Novation Nocturn and, as far as I know, is able to control the Six-Trak parameters. Is it hard to assign parameters and such?
@ticounecool i'm very fond of it, and the envelopes aren't slow at all, quite zippy actually. i know the SE-1 has that reputation, but even that was fixed in the SE-1X. it can do everything from classic vintage sounds to wild cross-modulation effects, and has more low-end than any other synth i've owned.. very easy to coax taurus/source type fatness out of it. almost everything is controllable by midi so the interface isn't a problem at all. can't wait to pair it with the six-trak!
My favorite stack patch:
2x Raw Sawtooth for base
2x Pure Square for fatness
2x Pulse Wave for character

so how exactly are you controlling its parameters?

@rediculus08 You don't need to do nothing on the Six-Trak to do all this. The midi implementation of it is very good for that time

@ticounecool One last question, What is the OS of the ROM on this six trak?
rediculus08 1 month ago
It's a pleasure, very underated synth.

@shayeasy, i would love to have a ATC-1, How do you like it ? And do you find that the enveloppe are slow ?
