Take 5 is Sequential's most compact, full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based polysynth ever. It's the perfect gateway to subtractive synthesis and the creative power of Sequential's best synths, whether you're new to analog synths or a space-conscious pro. And since it's portable, you can transport it from studio to stage without breaking a sweat or leaving any features or playability behind. Take 5 gives you genuine Sequential sound and quality at a price within your reach.
- Two analog VCOs per voice with continuously variable wave shapes (sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse) per oscillator and square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice
- White noise generator
- Hard sync and front-panel FM (frequency modulation)
- Four-pole, resonant, low pass filter per voice based on Prophet 5 Rev 4 design and capable of self-oscillation
- Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, gate)
- Five LFO wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square and random (sample and hold)
- Envelopes and LFO freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations
- Dedicated overdrive effect and reverb effect with damping, pre-delay, decay and tone
- One multi-effect with stereo delay, BBD delay, tape delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, ring mod, vintage rotating speaker, distortion, high pass filter
- Vintage effect recreates the characteristics of vintage synthesizers by introducing micro-fluctuations in oscillators, filter and envelopes per voice
- Arpeggiator with up, down, up+down, random, assign modes and re-latching arpeggiation
- Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps with ties and rests
- Low-split mode creates two independent performance zones with different octave ranges
- Polyphonic glide (portamento)
- Unison (monophonic) mode with configurable voice count from one to all five voices and key modes
- Factory switch: when off, the front panel is live; what you see is what you hear
Fits anywhere you need it
With 44 full-size keys and a total width of just 26 inches, Take 5 fits easily into your studio or on a stage. Its nearly knob-per-function control panel gives you immediate access to all of its essential sound-shaping controls and its ingenious key-split feature gives you access to a wider playable range than other compact synths by letting you divide the 3.5-octave keyboard into two separate performance zones.
Powerful synthesis
The five voices of Take 5 get their distinctive sound from a combination of two analog VCOs and a sub-oscillator passing through a Prophet-5-lineage 4-pole analog filter. The result is classic Sequential: smooth, warm, punchy sound that sits perfectly in a mix and cuts through clearly on stage. For even more analog-style goodness, the VINTAGE knob adds voice-to-voice variation for genuine vintage character. Dual digital effects, a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable waveshaping and front-panel access to analog FM all ensure Take 5 can kick out modern tone just as easily as it does vintage.
Finishing touches
The Take 5 feature set is rounded out with two LFOs (1 global, 1 per-voice), two ADSR+delay envelopes, extensive modulation, a 64-step polyphonic sequencer and a multimode arpeggiator. The premium Fatar keybed makes it a pleasure to play, wherever you take it.
