Cramming a baffling amount into a single compact body, Sequential's Take 5 Poly Synth is their smallest, most fully-featured poly synth yet!

Offering the perfect gateway into the expansive world of subtractive synthesis, the Take 5 harnesses all of the creative power of Sequential’s best synths and presents it in a space-concious layout that's just as well suited to the stage as it is the studio.

Driven by a combination of two analog VCOs and a sub oscillator passing through a Prophet-5-lineage 4-pole analog filter, the resulting sound is that classic smooth, warm and punchy character that is guaranteed to sit perfectly in a mix and cuts through clearly on stage.

Complete with a range of enhancements and additoins from a handy little 'Vintage' knob to dual digital effects and a dedicated overdrive, the Take 5 is an absolute pleasure to play, wherever you take it.

Sequential Take 5 Compact Poly Synth Key Features:

• Distinctive Analog Sound - With each of the five voices driven by classic Sequential circuitry, though the size is small, the sound is quite the opposite.
• Compact & Gig-Ready - Just 26 inches wide and with 44 full-size keys, the Take 5 is perfect for light transport from gigs to studios.
• Intuitive Control Panel - With the nearly knob-per-function control panel, you have instant hand-on access to a wide range of essential sound-shaping controls and beyond.
• Key Split Feature - Widen your playing range beyond other compact synths by dividing the 3.5 octave keyboard into two separate performance zones.
• Vintage Knob - With a newly added Vintage Knob, dial in as much old-school randomness and organic warmth as you prefer.
• Integrated FX - With Dual Digital effects, a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable wave shaping, and front-panel access to analog FM, you've got a range of available effects to spice up your tones.
• Synth Staples - Rounded off with two LFOs, two ADSR+delay envelopes, extensive modulation, a 64-step polyphonic sequencer, and a multimode arpeggiator, you've got a plethora of classic synth functionality to boot.
