Product overview

About this model

The Sequential Take 5 desktop module brings the unmistakable warmth and depth of analog synthesis to compact studio setups and live performances. Featuring the same VCO and VCF design as the acclaimed Prophet-5, this five-voice polysynth delivers rich, dynamic tones with a modern edge. Its dual analog oscillators per voice and continuously variable wave shapes enable a vast sonic palette, while the compact design ensures seamless integration into any production environment. Enhanced with advanced modulation options, onboard effects and a powerful arpeggiator, the Take 5 desktop module offers professional-grade sound-shaping capabilities in a space-saving format. Its robust build and intuitive layout make it an indispensable tool for musicians seeking hands-on control and iconic Sequential sound. Dual Analog Oscillators for Expansive Sound The Take 5 desktop module features two analog oscillators per voice, each with continuously variable wave shapes, including sine, sawtooth and variable-width pulse. This design allows for precise tone sculpting, while hard sync and a square wave sub-octave generator add depth and complexity to your sound. Oscillator 1 includes front-panel FM for creating harmonically rich textures, while independent keyboard tracking ensures pitch stability. These capabilities make it easy to craft everything from shimmering pads to aggressive leads, delivering articulate and immersive tones across its 5-voice polyphony. Prophet-5-Inspired Low-Pass Filter for Vintage Warmth At the heart of the Take 5 desktop module is a four-pole resonant low-pass filter, directly inspired by the legendary Prophet-5 Rev 4 design. This filter offers a smooth, warm response that can be pushed into self-oscillation via the resonance control, enabling expressive sweeps and harmonic overtones. With a bipolar filter envelope amount and adjustable routing options, users can achieve nuanced tonal shaping. Whether you're dialing in lush, resonant pads or punchy basslines, this filter ensures a vintage character with modern flexibility. Advanced Modulation Matrix for Creative Freedom The Take 5 desktop module's modulation matrix offers 19 sources and 64 destinations, providing unparalleled flexibility for sound design. Users can easily assign modulation routes, including audio-rate sources, to create evolving textures and intricate movement within their patches. Two LFOs with five wave shapes and clock sync options further expand the creative possibilities. This advanced system allows for dynamic interplay between oscillators, filters and effects, making complex soundscapes intuitive and achievable for both studio and live applications. Compact Design With Studio-Grade Build Quality Built with portability and durability in mind, the Take 5 desktop module features a compact form factor that fits seamlessly into any studio setup or live rig. Its high-quality knobs, switches and sliders provide a tactile experience for real-time sound manipulation. The robust chassis ensures long-lasting performance, while its lightweight design makes it easy to transport for gigs. Whether you're crafting in the studio or performing on stage, this module is engineered to handle the demands of professional use without compromising on functionality. Perfect for Producers and Live Performers The Sequential Take 5 desktop module is ideal for musicians who require powerful analog synthesis in a compact, portable format. Its intuitive controls, deep sound design options, and Prophet-5-inspired tone make it a valuable addition to any studio or live setup. With its lightweight build and robust construction, it's ready to travel anywhere, ensuring reliable performance and creative inspiration wherever your music takes you.
