    Sequential Take 5 Desktop Analog Synthesizer Module

    If you’ve ever dreamed of channeling the iconic sounds of the Prophet-5 but lacked the studio space (or the trust fund) to make it happen, your moment has arrived. The Sequential Take 5 desktop module captures the iconic essence of its predecessor in a sleek, compact design.

    This is your map to warm, analog tones that defined generations of music. A creative partner and a time machine, all without taking over your desk.

    Sequential Take 5 Small Size, Big Sound

    Small Size, Big Sound

    There’s a reason the Prophet-5 sound is legendary, and the Take 5 brings that magic straight to your fingertips. It’s built to inspire, offering the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern flexibility. Whether you’re crafting lush pads, punchy basslines, or searing leads, this synth delivers a sonic character that is both timeless and immediate.

    • Prophet-5 DNA: At its core, the Take 5 features the same VCO/VCF-based architecture that gave the Prophet-5 its unmistakable warmth and presence. This means you get access to those rich, organic tones that have graced countless hit records.
    • Five Voices of Analog Power: With five voices of true analog polyphony, you can create complex chords and evolving textures that breathe with life. It’s the kind of authentic sound that digital emulations can only dream of.
    • Continuously Variable Wave Shape: Go beyond basic waveforms. The Take 5 allows you to smoothly morph between sine, sawtooth, and variable-width pulse shapes, opening up a universe of tonal possibilities right from the oscillator stage.
    • Classic Low-Pass Filter: The 4-pole analog filter is a direct descendant of the Prophet-5 design. Crank the resonance, and you can drive it into glorious self-oscillation for screaming leads and dramatic filter sweeps that cut through any mix.

    Your Sonic Crafting Workshop

    The Take 5 marries its vintage heart with a host of modern features designed to make sound design an intuitive and exhilarating experience. The hands-on, knob-per-function interface invites you to twist, turn, and experiment, rewarding your curiosity with instant sonic feedback. Forget menu-diving — this is pure, unadulterated synthesis.

    • Dual Envelopes for Dynamic Control: Two five-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) give you precise control over the shape of your sound. Route them to the filter, amplifier, or other destinations to create everything from snappy plucks to slowly evolving ambient textures.
    • Powerful Modulation Matrix: Need to add movement and complexity? The extensive mod matrix lets you route a wide range of sources to nearly any destination. It’s a sound designer’s dream, allowing for intricate animations and textures that make your patches feel alive.
    • Onboard Digital Effects: Polish your sounds to perfection without ever leaving the box. The Take 5 includes a studio-quality dual effects engine, featuring lush reverbs, delays, chorus, flanger, and more. It’s the secret sauce that takes your patches from great to sublime.

    Sequential Take 5 Built for the Modern World

    Built for the Modern World

    Sequential understands that inspiration can strike anywhere, from a cramped bedroom studio to a massive concert stage. That’s why the Take 5 desktop module was designed for maximum portability and seamless integration. Its rugged, compact chassis is small enough to fit into any setup yet powerful enough to be the centerpiece of your rig.

    • Studio Hub or Live Workhorse: Its compact footprint makes it the perfect addition to any studio, saving you precious desk real estate. When it’s time to hit the road, just pack it in your bag and go — this synth is built to travel.
    • Hands-On Control: Every essential parameter has its own dedicated knob or button. This direct control scheme makes tweaking sounds in real-time a joy, whether you’re dialing in the perfect patch in the studio or performing live on stage.
    • Fat Unison Mode: When you need a bass or lead that can shake the foundation, engage the Unison mode. You can stack up to five voices for a monophonic sound of epic proportions, with a configurable voice count to dial in the perfect amount of thickness.

    Your Portal to Analog Bliss

    The Sequential Take 5 Desktop invites you to explore the rich history of analog synthesis while pushing the boundaries of your own creativity. It captures the very spirit of a legendary instrument, delivering accessible power and endless inspiration.
