![]() ![]() ![]() Extensive features also include a Vintage pot, digital effects, distortion, a constantly changing waveform and analog FM that can be set from the front panel. The end result is a classic Sequential sound - a soft, warm and kicking sound that sits perfectly in mixes and cuts through the stage. Two analog VCOs as well as a sub-oscillator passing through a 4-pole analog filter inherited from the Prophet-5 synthesizer are at the heart of this synth. ![]() Despite its narrow shape, Take 5 also bends to a wide range of sounds: the key-split function allows the keyboard to be divided into two parts to play two different sounds at the same time. ![]() Take 5 is a great choice to switch between substractive synthesis and Sequential synths, whether you’re a newcomer to analog synthesizers or looking for a new little polyanalogy in your studio.Ĥ4 contacts and a width of only 66 cm make the Take 5 easy to frost, and the almost completely Knob-per-function front panel gives immediate command to the most important functions in editing the sound. My solution to not suffering the slim keys of the Minilogue was to get the module - its a great buy - spectacular sequencer and the whole custom oscillator thing is very useful.Portable, Convincing and Polyphonic - Take 5! Take 5 is Sequential’s most compact full-featured Polyphonic Synthesizer ever. I have to say when I listen to the demos, I don't hear much overlap with the P5/10 other than they have in common that Sequential vibe more than, say a Moog vibe or a Roland vibe. Making them affordable makes it easier for young hopefuls to make music that will be remembered. In some ways, it was the less pricey sub-premium synths that helped shape a lot of 80's music. If the Take 5 reaches a broad audience (which seems likely given the price point), it could become kind of a defacto stage instrument for a lot of younger musicians. Ultimately whether a synth goes is regarded long-term as being a great instrument has more to do with what gets done with the synth. Sort of like the old Junos - only one oscillator and I never heard great things about those DCOs, it was more about what happened to the thinner sound once pushed through the chorus FX. I think that much like the Minilogue, it's one of those synths where much of its tone will come more from the oscillator and FX combinations than the oscillators themselves. It has one of the P5/10 filters but not the same oscillators, and the difference in oscillator in terms of providing fat vintage tone is very different even between the P5/10 and the P6, despite the vintage knob of the P6. Maybe one more voice and Take 6 would be a more appropriate name of what is. To include the digit 5 in the name of a Sequential synth is odd in times when 8/16 voices are standard, if not for a reason of association. In my ears Take 5 is closer to be a P6 v2 and lack the DNA of the Prophet 5. It sounds great with the effects on but has it the same dry sound quality as the P5? What I heard of sound clips with different patches it lacks the fullness and bite of the P5 and even the P600. Booth the filters and VCOs has SSI chips - so far so good. I like the filter knob located close to the keyboard for access and controlled by a larger knob as it probably is the most used controller. It seams to have the same rev 1/2 filter if I understand right. To me it’s first of all a gorgeous sounding poly to an attractive price tag. Is it a new modded and modernized Prophet 5 with all bells and whistles P5 rev 4 didn’t had, what do you think? Take 5 is by many compared to the Prophet 5 and not without reasons. ![]()
