Sequential Take 5 Five-Voice Poly Synthesizer

A full-featured subtractive synthesizer, the Take 5 sports two VCOs and a sub oscillator per voice, a classic 4-pole, resonant analog filter from the Prophet-5 Rev 4 design, 44 full-size keys, and a premium Fatar keybed. Its clever key-split feature gives players access to a wider playable range than many other compact synths by enabling players to divide the 3.5 octave keyboard into two separate performance zones. Dual Digital effects and a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable wave shaping, and front-panel access to analog FM ensure the Take 5 can cover a wide range of sonic territory, from vintage to modern.

Oscillators

• Two analog VCOs per voice
• Continuously variable wave shape (sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse) per oscillator
• Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2
• Square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice
• Keyboard tracking on/off for each oscillator
• Front-panel FM (frequency modulation)

Mixer

• Oscillator 1 amount
• Oscillator 1 sub-octave amount
• Oscillator 2 amount
• White noise amount

Low-pass filter

• Four-pole, resonant, analog low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet 5 Rev 4 design
• Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
• Bi-polar filter envelope amount

Envelopes

• Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, gate)
• Velocity modulation of each envelope amount
• Envelopes freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations

Low frequency oscillator

• Five wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold)
• Clock sync (internal or external MIDI clock)
• Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations

Digital effects

• One dedicated reverb 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
• Dedicated Overdrive effect

Vintage knob

• Recreates the characteristics of vintage synthesizers by introducing micro-fluctuations in oscillators, filter, and envelopes per voice.

Aftertouch

• Source: channel (mono) aftertouch with bi-polar amount
• Aftertouch freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations

Clock

• Master clock with tap tempo
• BPM control and display
• MIDI clock sync

Arpeggiator

• Up, down, up+down, random, assign modes
• Syncs to MIDI clock
• Re-latching arpeggiation

Sequencer

• Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps with ties and rests

Performance controls

• Full-sized, semi-weighted, 3.5-octave premium Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
• Spring-loaded pitch wheel with selectable range per program with independently adjustable upper and lower pitch wheel range transpose controls
• Low-split mode creates two independent performance zones with different octave ranges
• Hold switch latches held notes on
• 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

Patch memory

• 128 user and 128 factory
