Take 5 Desktop Analog Synthesizer Module

Sequential Take 5 Desktop

Sequential's Take 5 desktop version takes the essence of the much ballyhooed Take 5, removes the keybed, and gives you all the essentials in one compact box. At its heart are two analog VCOs per voice, a sub oscillator, and a four-pole Prophet-5 Rev 4-style low-pass filter, all wrapped in a smartly designed layout that encourages both spontaneous jamming and deep design alike. The Take 5 is a classic synth reborn for modern producers, synth collectors, and gigging musicians who need a big sound in a tight footprint.

With minimal menu-diving, you can plug in and instantly start to create the perfect sound world by using the myriad presets or some careful tweaking. A generously mapped modulation matrix—19 sources to 64 destinations—ensures that whether you're sculpting subtle textures or going full experimental, the Take 5 is ready to oblige even the most outlandish routings. Two five-stage envelopes, two LFOs, and velocity-sensitive aftertouch brings this gentle being to life.

When it comes time to take it on the road or just across the studio it's hard not to marvel at the efficiency of its design. The Take 5 desktop is unapologetically analog where it counts, but its compact form, MIDI sync, and digital effects make it feel right at home in the most modern of setups. Slide this little friend almost anywhere in your studio and rest easy knowing that analog warmth is just a knob turn away.
