Sequential Take 5 Compact 5-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer

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.
