Enhanced with modern modulation and digital effects, the module delivers this coveted sound in a space-saving design that's 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, enabling intuitive sound design and real-time parameter control. With its straightforward and direct interface, you can dive deep into sound creation and easily give your tones the perfect final polish.

This synthesizer is a perfect fit for smaller studio or bedroom setups and is also easy to transport for live gigs. The Take 5 Desktop Module was designed to make the signature Sequential sound more accessible than ever, helping streamline music production for a broader audience.

OSCILLATORS

• 5-voice VCO/VCF-based polyphonic synthesizer

• Two analog VCOs per voice

• Continuously variable waveform (sine, sawtooth, pulse with variable pulse width) per oscillator

• Hard sync: Oscillator 1 syncs to Oscillator 2

• Square wave sub-octave generator (Oscillator 1) per voice

• Key tracking on/off for each oscillator

• Front-panel 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 the Prophet-5 Rev 4 design

• Self-oscillating via the resonance control

• Bipolar filter envelope amount

ENVELOPES

• Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + Delay) with variable assignment (filter, amplifier, aux)

• Velocity modulation of each envelope amount

• Envelopes freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations

TWO LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS

• Five waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and sample/hold (random)

• Clock sync (internal or external MIDI clock)

• Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations

MODULATION MATRIX

• 19 slots × 19 sources × 64 destinations

• Flexible matrix design allowing virtually any modulation path, including audio-rate sources and targets

VINTAGE CONTROL

• Emulates vintage synthesizer characteristics by adding component behavior variations from voice to voice

AFTERTOUCH

• Monophonic (channel) aftertouch with bipolar values

• Freely assignable to multiple modulation targets

CLOCK

• Master clock with tap tempo

• BPM control and display

• MIDI clock sync

ARPEGGIATOR

• Modes: Up, Down, Up+Down, Random, Assign

• Syncs to MIDI clock

• Re-latching of arpeggiation

SEQUENCER

• Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps, including ties and rests

EFFECTS

• Dedicated reverb with damping, pre-delay, decay, and tone

• Multi-effect unit with stereo delay, BBD delay, tape delay, chorus, flanger, Oberheim phase shifter and ring modulator emulations, vintage rotary speaker, distortion, high-pass filter, and lo-fi

• Dedicated overdrive effect

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

• Hold button activates note hold for all played notes

• Polyphonic portamento (glide)

• Unison mode (monophonic) with configurable number of voices, from one to all five, and priority modes for voice triggering

• Preset button: when off, sound reflects actual knob settings only – "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 one-touch access to the current set of 16 programs

INPUTS/OUTPUTS

• MIDI In, Out, Thru

• USB for bidirectional MIDI communication

• Volume expression pedal input

• Sustain pedal input

POWER SUPPLY

• IEC AC power input for internal power supply

• Supports global operation with voltages from 100–240V at 50–60Hz; max power consumption: 14 watts

PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• 53.3 cm × 17.8 cm × 8.9 cm (L × W × H)

• Weight: 3.08 kg
