Sequential’s mission here is clear: to offer an affordable poly analog synth with solid features set.
Most of the features have front-panel controls, making the synth very quick and intuitive to use. 25″ L x 12.75″ W x 4.4″ H (63.5 cm x 32.4 cm x 11.Take 5 is a very hands-on poly analog Synthesizer.Premium, 3.5-octave, semi-weighted Fatar keyboard.Main stereo output (2 x 1/4″ phone jack).USB port for bidirectional MIDI communication.1 MIDI In, 1 MIDI Out, and 1 MIDI Thru port.Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps with ties and rests.Aftertouch freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations.Vintage knob recreates the characteristics of vintage synthesizers by introducing parameter variations from voice to voice.One multi-effect with stereo delay, BBD delay, tape delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, ring mod, vintage rotating speaker, distortion, high-pass filter.Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, auxiliary).Four-pole, resonant, low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet-5 Rev 4 design.
Factory switch: when off, the front panel is live what you see is what you hear. Unison (monophonic) mode with configurable voice count, from one to all five voices, and key modes. Low-split mode creates two independent performance zones with different octave ranges. Spring-loaded pitch wheel with selectable range per program with independently adjustable upper and lower pitch wheel range transpose controls. Full-sized, semi-weighted, 3.5-octave premium Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. The premium Fatar key-bed makes it a pleasure to play, wherever you take it. The Take 5 feature set is rounded out with two LFOs (1 global, and 1 per-voice), two ADSR+delay envelopes, extensive modulation, a 64-step polyphonic sequencer, and a multimode arpeggiator. Dual Digital effects, a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable wave shaping, and front-panel access to analog FM all ensure the Take 5 can kick out modern tone just as easily as it does vintage. For even more analog-style goodness, a Vintage knob adds voice-to-voice variation for genuine vintage character. The result is classic Sequential - smooth, warm, punchy sound that sits perfectly in a mix and cuts through clearly on stage. The five voices of the 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. 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. Its nearly knob-per-function control panel gives you immediate access to all of its essential sound-shaping controls. With 44-full-size keys and a total width of just 26 inches, the Take 5 fits easily into your studio or on stage. Genuine Sequential sound and quality at a price within your reach. And since it’s portable, you can transport it from studio to stage without breaking a sweat or leaving any features or playability behind. 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. The Take 5 is Sequential’s most compact, full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based poly synth ever.
