The Take 5 is Sequential's most compact, full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based poly synth 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. Genuine Sequential sound and quality at a price within your reach. With 44-full-size keys and a total width of just 26 inches, the Take 5 fits easily into your studio or on 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. 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. 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, a Vintage knob adds voice-to-voice variation for genuine vintage character. 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. 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. The premium Fatar keybed makes it a pleasure to play, wherever you take it. The Take 5 now also comes with a major upgrade - and it's a free update for all owners. With Poly Chain, you can now link two Take 5s to create a fully integrated 10-voice instrument. That means bigger chords and more complex parts without worrying about voice stealing. The arpeggiator also gets a serious boost with 10 new patterns, including inventive modes like Spiral and Leapfrog - perfect for adding movement and variation to your sequences. And be sure to check out the wild new Whiplash timing mode that dynamically changes note values based on the number keys held. This update builds on everything musicians love about the Take 5: classic Prophet-5 tone, a compact footprint, and an intuitive layout that feels great to play. Now, with poly chain and new arp modes, along with a few other key enhancements, the Take 5 is even more full featured and fun. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, this is your Take 5 to the power of 10.
