Description
Take Your Music to the Next Level with the Sequential Take 5 Desktop Module
The Sequential Take 5 desktop module is a compact, full-featured, full-throttle VCO/VCF-based poly synth. Building on the success of the Take 5 keyboard, the desktop module features the same powerful analog oscillators and filters that deliver the iconic warmth and depth of the Prophet-5 enhanced with modern modulation options and studio-quality digital effects. Now, that sought-after sound comes in a space-saving design that’s ideal for both studio setups and live performances where portability and efficiency are paramount.
The Take 5 Desktop Module offers the same hands-on, knob-per-function experience as its keyboard counterpart, making sound design intuitive and immediate. Users can dive deep into sound creation with straightforward controls that make it fast and easy to shape and refine their sound.
Perfect for smaller studios, bedroom setups, or mobile rigs, the Take 5 Desktop Module brings Sequential’s signature sound to a wider audience than ever before. It’s designed to make music-making easier, more fun, and more accessible-wherever inspiration strikes.
