Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sequential’s Take 5 is a compact five-voice subtractive synthesizer built around two VCOs and a sub oscillator for each voice. The 44-key Fatar keyboard can be divided into two playing zones, giving a compact instrument more performance range when a split setup is useful. Its analog filter, waveshaping, analog FM, drive, modulation tools, effects, sequencer, and arpeggiator make it a hands-on sound-design and performance instrument rather than a stripped-back keyboard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building layered or split keyboard parts from two performance zones during a live set.
- Programming evolving patterns with the 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator.
- Moving a full-featured synth between studio and stage in a 17-pound format.
