Velocity modulation of each envelope amount.Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, gate).Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control.Four-pole, resonant, analog low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet 5 Rev 4 design.Keyboard tracking on/off for each oscillator.Square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice.Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2.Continuously variable wave shape (sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse) per oscillator.Portability is also a huge plus - you can transport it from studio to stage without breaking a sweat or leaving any features or playability behind.” It is pure Sequential sound and quality at a price that’s within reach of almost anyone. Sequential CEO David Gibbons sums up the Take 5 like this: “For players that have wanted to get into analog poly synths but have been put off by price or complexity, the Take 5 is the perfect gateway to subtractive synthesis and the creative power of Sequential’s best synths. It was a joy to work on and I’m looking forward to hearing what our customers create with it.” Throughout development we were amazed by how huge this synth sounds and how crazy versatile it is. “Packing this much performance power into such a small footprint was the kind of challenge we love. “The Take 5 puts the classic Sequential sound and legacy into the hands of people who may not have been able to experience it before,” says Dave Smith, Sequential founder and lead product designer. A 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator complete the picture. The Take 5 feature set is rounded out with two LFOs (1 global, and 1 per-voice LFO), ADSR+delay envelopes, dual digital effects (a dedicated reverb and a suite of time-delay and other effects) a separate additional overdrive effect, and extensive modulation possibilities.


The Prophet-5-lineage 4-pole analog filter shapes the sound of the oscillators and sub oscillator in classic fashion while a Drive control provides additional punch.Ī Vintage knob adds micro variations to oscillator, filter, and envelope behavior from voice to voice. Two voltage-controlled oscillators provide traditional sine, saw, and pulse waves with waveshaping, while simple analog FM means that you can create harmonically complex, bell-like FM timbres. The Take 5 also features dual digital effect processors and a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable wave shaping, and front-panel access to analog FM, which mean that the synth can cover a wide range of sonic territory, from vintage to modern. The keyboard can be split into two separate performance zones, giving you access to a wider playable range than many other compact synths. The Sequential Take 5 features two VCOs and a sub oscillator per voice, a 4-pole, resonant analog filter taken from the Prophet-5 Rev 4, 44 full-size keys, and a premium Fatar keybed. Synth pioneer Dave Smith has officially introduced the Sequential Take 5 synthesizer, a new five-voice VCO/VCF-based polyphonic synthesizer that combines features from the Prophet-5 rev4 with modern effects.
