Take 5, an outstanding sound design tool plus a performance instrument. A hands-on analog synthesizer with enhanced features and intuitive front-panel controls. Unleash your creativity with the perfect complement of synthesis tools and tones.
Portable, Powerful, Polyphonic
The Take 5 is Sequential’s most compact, full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based poly synth ever. It’s the perfect gateway to subtractive synthesis and the creative power of Sequential’s best synths — whether you’re new to analog synths or a space-conscious pro. And since it’s portable, you can transport it from studio to stage without breaking a sweat or leaving any features or playability behind. Genuine Sequential sound and quality at a price within your reach.
Fits Anywhere You Need It
With 44-full-size keys and a total width of just 26 inches, the Take 5 fits easily into your studio or on stage. Its nearly knob-per-function control panel gives you immediate access to all of its essential sound-shaping controls. And its ingenious key-split feature gives you access to a wider playable range than other compact synths by letting you divide the 3.5 octave keyboard into two separate performance zones.
Powerful Synthesis
The five voices of the Take 5 get their distinctive sound from a combination of two analog VCOs and a sub oscillator passing through a Prophet-5-lineage 4-pole analog filter. The result is classic Sequential — smooth, warm, punchy sound that sits perfectly in a mix and cuts through clearly on stage. For even more analog-style goodness, a Vintage knob adds voice-to-voice variation for genuine vintage character. Dual Digital effects, a dedicated overdrive, continuously variable wave shaping, and front-panel access to analog FM all ensure the Take 5 can kick out modern tone just as easily as it does vintage.
Finishing Touches
The Take 5 feature set is rounded out with two LFOs (1 global, and 1 per-voice), two ADSR+delay envelopes, extensive modulation, a 64-step polyphonic sequencer, and a multimode arpeggiator. The premium Fatar keybed makes it a pleasure to play, wherever you take it.

A Blast to Play.
Great poly synth that can’t be beat, for the price. Is it the most powerful synth I own? No. But, it is a wonderful surprise what you can get out of it. The best part of it is how fun it is to play. Seriously. Once you get the layout down, you’re going to have a blast. Simple and fun!

Gorgeous Synth!
This is the most amazing Synth I have ever owned. I have owned the Arturia Minibrute, Microbrute, MOOG Grandmother, Korg MS-20, Behringer Odyssey(still own) and this Synth beats out all of them by quite a bit. I've only had it for a couple of days and have barely even begun to scratch the surface bu...
