Take Your Music to the Next Level with the Sequential Take 5 Desktop Module Building on the success of the Take 5 keyboard, the desktop module features the same powerful analog oscillators and filters that capture the iconic warmth and depth of the Prophet-5. Enhanced with modern modulation and digital effects, the module delivers this sought-after sound in a space-saving design, perfect for studio setups and live performances where portability and efficiency are key. The Take 5 Desktop Module provides the same hands-on, knob-based experience as its keyboard counterpart, allowing for intuitive sound design and real-time parameter adjustments. Users can delve deep into sound creation with controls that are simple and direct, making it fast and easy to polish your sound. This synth fits perfectly in smaller studio or bedroom setups and is easy to transport for live gigs. The Take 5 desktop module is designed to bring its signature Sequential sound to a wider audience than ever before, making music creation more accessible and enjoyable. OSCILLATORS 5-Voice VCO/VCF-based polysynth Two analog VCOs per voice Continuously variable wave shape (sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse) per oscillator Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2 Square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice Keyboard tracking on/off for each oscillator Front-panel FM (frequency modulation) MIXER Oscillator 1 amount Oscillator 1 sub-octave amount Oscillator 2 amount White noise/pink noise amount LOW-PASS FILTER Four-pole, resonant, low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet-5 Rev 4 design Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control Bi-polar filter envelope amount ENVELOPES Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, auxiliary) Velocity modulation of each envelope amount Envelopes freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations 2 LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS Five wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold) Clock sync (internal or external MIDI clock) Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations MODULATION MATRIX 19 slots x 19 sources x 64 destinations Flexible matrix design where almost any mod route is possible, including audio rate sources and destinations VINTAGE KNOB Recreates vintage synth characteristics by adding voice-to voice variations in component behavior AFTERTOUCH Responds to channel (mono) aftertouch with bi-polar amount Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations CLOCK Master clock with tap tempo BPM control and display MIDI clock sync ARPEGGIATOR Up, down, up+down, random, assign modes Syncs to MIDI clock Re-latching arpeggiation SEQUENCER Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps with ties and rests EFFECTS One dedicated reverb with damping, pre-delay, decay and tone One multi-effect with stereo delay, BBD delay, tape delay, chorus, flanger, Oberheim phase shifter and ring modulator emulations, vintage rotating speaker, distortion, high-pass filter and Lo-Fi Dedicated Overdrive effect PERFORMANCE CONTROLS Hold switch latches held notes on Polyphonic portamento (glide) Unison (monophonic) mode with configurable voice count, from one to all five voices, and key modes to control voice triggering priority Preset switch: when off, the front panel is live; what you see is what you hear PATCH MEMORY 256 user and 256 factory programs in 32 banks of 16 programs each Direct program access, including single-button access to the current set of 16 programs IN/OUT Left and right audio outputs (2 x 1/4” jack) Headphone output (stereo, 1/4” phone jack) MIDI in, out, and thru ports USB for bidirectional MIDI communication Volume expression pedal input Sustain footswitch input POWER IEC AC power inlet for internal power supply Operates worldwide on voltages between 100 and 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz; 14 Watts maximum power consumption PHYSICAL SPECS 21" L x 7" W x 3.5" H (53.3 cm x 17.8 cm x 8.9 cm) Weight: 6.8 lbs.
