Sequential Take 5 Compact 5-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesiser (Open Box)

The Sequential Take 5 is a compact, five-voice polyphonic analog synthesiser designed to deliver the iconic sound and tactile experience of Sequential's legendary instruments in a more accessible format. It combines vintage analog character with modern features, making it a versatile tool for sound design, composition, and performance. The synth is built around a genuine analog signal path, offering the warmth and immediacy associated with classic synthesizers. Key features include two analog voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) per voice, plus a sub-oscillator, providing a rich palette of traditional waveforms like sawtooth, pulse, and sine waves. The heart of its sound is a four-pole resonant low-pass filter directly derived from the revered Prophet-5 Rev 4, capable of everything from smooth sweeps to aggressive self-oscillation. The instrument also incorporates front-panel frequency modulation, a 'Vintage' knob that introduces subtle voice-to-voice variations for authentic analog drift, and extensive modulation capabilities with two LFOs and two multi-stage envelope generators per voice. The Take 5 is equipped with a 44-note, full-sized Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, which can be split into two zones for layered or split performances. For finishing touches, it includes dual digital effects processors—one dedicated to reverb and another multi-effect unit offering delay, chorus, phaser, and more—plus a separate overdrive circuit. A built-in 64-step polyphonic sequencer and a multimode arpeggiator further enhance its creative potential. This synthesiser is well-suited for musicians and producers seeking a professional, all-analog polyphonic synth with a comprehensive feature set in a relatively compact and portable design.
