  • Kick back, relax, put on your good headphones (or switch on your good monitor speakers) and enjoy a selection of my favourite patches from the amazing Take 5 analog synth from Sequential!
    This little powerhouse is a sonic monster - creamy leads, funky, squelchy, screaming leads, powerful basses, Prophet 5 brass and poly sounds, plucks, pads - it does it all so musically and with class - and the keybed feels wonderful to play, really allowing you to get the most out of the instrument.
    A big shout out to Ben Willis who shot this demo video and edited it together - absolutely stellar work!

      Have a quick question, will the Take 5 be able to be played as a midi controller for plug-ins like native instruments in Arturia?

    Hi Mike I had a couple of questions for you, if you could please let me know. Firstly do you know how to delete old tuning tables on the Take 5? I find on my unit when I use too much resonance on poly sounds (like past 2 o’clock), it feels like the sound flutters a little.
    Secondly, on your unit does the Reverb ‘Tone’ knob have a solid click / stop at the 12 o’clock position or is it more of a subtle stop in the middle? On my unit it’s not a solid indentation in the middle. Just wondering, Many thanks

      @MikePensini  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the unit is a great package. It’s a super portable 5 voice system. Obviously more keys are nicer in some instances but I feel there’s the Prophet 6 or 5/10 if that’s essential. I love the portability of the T5!
