Description
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.
TAKE 5 v2.0 Update
The Take 5 v2.0 software update brings even more inspiration and creative freedom to Sequential's portable polyphonic analog synthesizer.
This free update doubles preset storage and introduces 128 brand new patches created by some of the world's leading sound designers.
The update also includes extensive new synthesis features and effects such as Envelope Repeats, LFO Slew, and a tape-emulating lo-fi effect that's bursting with character. Get Take 5 v2.0 and expand your sonic palette today!
On November 6th 2025, Sequential released a free OS update for the Take 5 with powerful new features – including Poly Chain. This allows two Take 5 keyboards to be linked together to create a fully integrated 10-voice instrument. This significant improvement could significantly boost sales of keyboards and desktop devices.
The update also includes:
- 10 new arpeggiator patterns, including creative modes like Spiral and Leapfrog
- A Whiplash arpeggiator timing mode that dynamically adjusts note values to the number of keys pressed
- Violet Noise for expanded sound design possibilities.
These features complement the classic Prophet 5 sound and the compact design of the Take 5, making it even more appealing to musicians who value quality, portability, and performance.
