Tridetn MKII have an ENV for the VCF as well, and an extra sawtooth
based VCO with octave selection and detuning option - great for
making string sounds... BTW no Sub osc. on the Trident.
But what really makes it a genuine synth is te possibiliy to mix all
3 great sounding sections all together and get HUGE sound.
This is one of the best strings/orchestral synths in my opinion.
Polysix is more like a "mean" sounding machine with its stabbing
sound and arpeggiator :)
