Sequential Take 5 Desktop

Sequential Take 5 Desktop – a compact, keyless tabletop version of the renowned Take 5 synthesizer, delivering the iconic Prophet-5 sound in a space-saving module. Designed for both studio and live performance, this 5-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer offers the warmth and depth of classic Sequential synths, enhanced with modern features. Its nearly knob-per-function control panel provides intuitive, hands-on sound design, making it ideal for both newcomers and seasoned synthesists. The Take 5 Desktop is portable, powerful, and affordable, fitting seamlessly into any setup.

The Take 5 Desktop features five voices, each powered by two analog VCOs and a sub-oscillator, passing through a Prophet-5-lineage 4-pole resonant low-pass filter for smooth, punchy tones. A Vintage knob introduces voice-to-voice variation, emulating the organic character of vintage synths. Extensive modulation options include two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) and two LFOs (one global, one per voice) with five waveform shapes. The synth also boasts a robust digital effects section with reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, and a dedicated overdrive for added grit. A 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator enhance its creative potential.

With a compact footprint (21 inches wide) and a weight of just 6.8 lbs, the Take 5 Desktop is perfect for space-conscious studios or mobile rigs. It integrates effortlessly with modern setups via MIDI, USB, and balanced stereo outputs, plus CV and gate inputs for modular connectivity. Whether crafting lush pads, fat basses, or cutting leads, the Take 5 Desktop delivers classic Sequential sound with modern versatility.
