Description
The Sequential Take 5 Compact Poly Synthesizer delivers the iconic Prophet-5–inspired analog sound in a modern, space-saving design that’s accessible to today’s musicians. Powered by two genuine analog VCOs per voice and a classic 4-pole low-pass filter, it produces warm, punchy basses, expressive leads, and lush pads with unmistakable vintage character. Modern enhancements such as extensive modulation, a Vintage knob, onboard digital effects, and hands-on knob-per-function control expand its creative range. Designed for both studio and stage use, Take 5 combines portability with professional performance features including a sequencer, arpeggiator, and flexible connectivity. The result is a powerful yet approachable polyphonic synthesizer that seamlessly blends timeless analog warmth with contemporary sound design.


Analog Sound
Two genuine analog VCOs per voice deliver rich, warm tones inspired by the Prophet-5. The classic 4-pole resonant low-pass filter is based on the Prophet-5 Rev4 design. This architecture produces deep, punchy bass and expressive leads suited for modern and vintage sounds.


5-Voice Engine
True 5-voice polyphony allows complex chords and evolving textures. Features include hard sync, sub-oscillator, analog FM, and continuously variable wave shapes. This engine supports both classic subtractive synthesis and advanced sound design.


Modulation & FX
Dual LFOs and flexible modulation routing enable precise movement and expression. Integrated reverb, multi-effects, and dedicated overdrive enhance depth and character. Effects and modulation are fully controllable for studio or live performance use.


Compact Control
Desktop module design saves space while retaining hands-on, knob-per-function control. MIDI, USB, expression, sustain, and stereo outputs ensure seamless integration. Ideal for compact studios, mobile rigs, and performance setups.
