Pump up the low end with the uber-fat square wave sub-octave generator and shape the tone of the synth even further with hard-sync, front-panel frequency modulation, and selectable keyboard tracking for each oscillator. They sport continuously variable waveshapes - from sine and sawtooth to pulse, giving you a huge pallet of timbres to draw from when creating sounds. The Take 5’s five voices are each powered by two glorious voltage-controlled oscillators that can both growl and sing. You can even split the keys into two performance zones with different octave ranges! Whether it’s your first polyphonic synth or your 50th, the Sequential Take 5 is an ultra-versatile, extremely fun polysynth!

Not only is the Take 5 a stellar sound design tool, but it’s also a brilliantly conceived performance instrument that features a satisfying Fatar keybed with aftertouch and velocity sensitivity. With ample modulation options, including two 5-stage envelopes and one global LFO and one freely assignable LFO - there are few areas of subtractive synthesis you can’t explore with the Take 5. Plus, its splendid 4-pole resonant VCF is inspired by the Prophet 5 Rev 4, a modern classic steeped in tradition.

Though compact, the Take 5 certainly doesn’t skimp on tone! Its five voices are massive, owing to its all-analog dual VCOs. It’s affordable, portable, and approachable - an ideal synth for newcomers and seasoned synth wizards alike. The Take 5 brings polyphonic analog synthesis and the legendary Sequential sound to a new generation of synthesists. A Compact Analog Polysynth for a New Generation of Synthesistsĭave Smith and the gang at Sequential have cooked up something special with the Take 5 compact polyphonic analog synthesizer.
