Sequential Take 5 Desktop Module

Description

The Sequential Take 5 Desktop Module combines the iconic sound character of American analog with the practicality of a compact studio module, weighing only 3.08KG and with a footprint of just 53.3×17.8×8.9cm. This desktop version retains the same Prophet-5-inspired analog oscillators and filters found in the keyboard Take 5, including digital effects and an extensive modulation matrix. Everything that made the keyboard version famous is now available in a streamlined format, ideal for home studios and modern live sets. The intuitive layout, packed with manual controls, makes sound design immediate and creative, with direct access to every parameter. Portable, powerful, and ready to use: the Take 5 Desktop is designed to inspire.

Compact size, the same analog power and sonic versatility

The Take 5 Desktop offers 5-voice analog synthesis with two VCOs per voice, sub-oscillators, a resonant 4-pole low-pass filter, FM, arpeggiator, 64-step sequencer, and an effects section with reverb, overdrive, and vintage multi-effects. The front panel interface, rich in knobs and buttons, makes the experience immediate and engaging. Thanks to MIDI and USB connectivity, and synchronizable clock, it's the perfect companion for any live setup or recording studio.
