Sequential Take 5 Overview

Sequential Take 5: Inspired by the Legendary Prophet 5
Performing musicians and budget conscious producers looking for a powerful portable polyphonic synthesizer for the stage and studio will be thrilled with the Sequential Take 5, a compact, 5-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer that's inspired by the legendary Prophet 5, with a smooth, warm, and punchy sound.
Portable, Powerful, Polyphonic
The Take 5 is Sequential's most compact full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based polysynth 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.
Fits Anywhere You Need It
With 44-full-size keys and a total width of just 26", the Take 5 fits easily into your studio or onstage. A nearly one-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.
Powerful Synthesis
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, and punchy sound that sits perfectly in a mix and cuts through clearly onstage. 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.
Finishing Touches
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.
