Sequential take 5 synth8/15/2023 ![]() ![]() At first sight an interesting new polyphonic analog Synthesizer with a nice interface. It doesn’t have CV connectivity which is a shame.Ī sound demo is not yet out because it is a leak. On the backside, you have classic MIDI connectivity (MIDI in/out/thru), a USB port for bi-directional MIDI connection, a sustain/footswitch input, an expression pedal input, and a stereo output on 2 x 1/4″ phone jack). More space would have been desirable here. A built-in preset manager gives you space for 128 user and 128 factory presets. You can freely assign aftertouch to multiple modulation destinations. Take 5 comes with a full-sized, semi-weighted, 3.5-octave premium Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch with bi-polar amount. The latter creates two independent performance zones with different octave ranges Keyboard & Connectivity Take 5 is very hands-on and offers parameters for every feature and specific performance controls including a low-split mode. It looks like it has significantly fewer features than this one in the Pro 3. The step sequencer is polyphonic with up to 64 steps with ties and resets. The arp has different play directions and a re-latching arpeggiation functionality. Including micro-fluctuations in oscillators, filters, and envelopes per voice.Īn arpeggiator and sequencer are also onboard. Very nice, Sequential also adds the beloved vintage knob functionality in the Take 5 that recreates the characteristics of vintage synthesizers. It includes a dedicated reverb and a multi-effect with stereo delay, BBD delay, tape delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, ring mod, vintage rotating speaker, distortion, high-pass filter. ![]() ![]() They offer clock sync (internal/external) and are freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations.Ī digital effect section with multiple effects rounds of the signal chain. Further, you have two multi-wave LFOs with five wave shapes including triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold). The envelopes are freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations. On the envelope side, it will have two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routings (filter, amplifier, gate). Also you have a bi-polar filter envelope amount that is handy. It is possible to drive the filter in self-oscillation with the resonance control. Then it goes in a four-pole resonant, analog low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet 5 Rev 4 design. In a dedicated mixer, you can mix the different signals and a white-noise generator to the global signal. The digital wavetable oscillator from the Pro-3 is not included. It has hard sync, a square-wave sub-octave generator (OSC 1), and front-panel FM. The leaked information says that it has two analog VCOs per voice with continuously wave shapes. Only here it’s a five-voice polyphonic Synthesizer and not a three-voice paraphonic. Visually, it can hardly be denied that the Take 5 is based on the new Pro 3 from 2020. It’s a classic leak for a new polyphonic Synthesizer named Sequential Take 5. ![]() Now the cat is out of the bag in an unofficial way because a dealer () published the news too early. At this event, Dave Smith (ex CEO of Sequential) gave some interviews and made slight announcements that two new synthesizers are in development for this year. Since the end of April, we have known that Sequential is now owned by Focusrite, the British company where Novation is based. Leak: Sequential will release very soon the Take 5, a new 5-voice analog polyphonic Synthesizer with a dense feature set including a Prophet 5 Rev 4 filter. ![]()
