Sequential Take-5 Desktop Module 5-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer
Building on the success of the keyboard version, Sequential Take 5 Desktop Module features the same powerful analog oscillators and filters that capture the iconic warmth and depth of the Prophet-5. Enhanced with modern modulation and digital effects, the module delivers this sought-after sound in a space-saving design, perfect for studio setups and live performances where portability and efficiency are key.
- 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
Take 5 Desktop Module provides the same hands-on, knob-based experience as its keyboard counterpart, allowing for intuitive sound design and realtime parameter adjustments. Users can delve deep into sound creation with controls that are simple and direct, making it fast and easy to polish your sound.
This synth fits perfectly in smaller studio or bedroom setups and is easy to transport for live gigs. Take 5 Desktop Module is designed to bring its signature Sequential sound to a wider audience than ever before, making music creation more accessible and enjoyable.
