Hideaway Studio 6-Trax

In 1984, Dave Smith and his Sequential Circuits team launched the Six - trax. It was among the first instruments to feature the new MIDI control system and was an early multi - timbral device. This was a remarkable technical feat for an affordable synthesizer at that time. Despite Dave Smith being known as an analog synthesizer design master, his programming skills are truly praise - worthy. Fitting a comprehensive multi - timbral synth control system with patch recall, arpeggiator, sequencer, stack facility, and full MIDI CC implementation into a 4MHz Z80 microcontroller with 16Kbyte EPROM is an amazing achievement.

To use this synthesizer, start by connecting it to your power source and other MIDI - compatible devices. You can select different sounds and presets easily using the patch recall function. The arpeggiator can add dynamic rhythm to your music, and the sequencer helps you create complex patterns. When operating, make sure the environment is dry and clean to avoid damage. For maintenance, keep the device dust - free. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it regularly. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you have any issues, it's best to consult a professional technician.
