The Take 5 is such a great synth. It’s my favorite analog poly, and the 2.0 firmware just takes it to the next level. I love to crank the reverb on it for ambient patches, and the new lo-fi effect is sublime.
1:00 all envelopes should be loopable. It's easy to think of them as being extra LFOs but having control of the attack and release under your fingers is something very exciting. My 1985 Clef Microsynth (I built from a kit) has that and it's great fun tweaking up into audio frequencies and back. I really must finish my refurb on that synth!
Wow, that's an amazing update! I like how this poly manages to keep the simplicity and offer flexibility at the same time. I almost regret choosing Pro 3 over Take 5, almost 🙂
You need a mention from your original channel again and from another tuber if possible. Your material is as complete and technical as loopop and bad gear. More people deserve to hear/see your material. It is always so solid and your technical skills are so solid.
Thanks for the support ❤️ The new channel has actually been growing steadily (all things considered). Still at the mercy of the YT Algo, but I can already tell the audience is more targeted this way. Just going to need some time.
As we would say back in my day (aka the Pliocene Epoch), "Far out!" I really want to get my hands on some Sequential stuff, even though I'm still just dipping into the Minifreak. I have to say that particularly early in the patch development, I caught a few, if brief, sonic echoes of "San Jacinto." So I'm going to go listen to that about 20 times first. Thanks as always!
Weird, I'd also 100% assume negative decay via modwheel source would be the proper assignment but glad to see you got to the intended result! Can those envelope loop points midi synch to tempo at all?
Liked, subscribed, saved for later. Thanks. Now, a really dumb question: I notice when you're playing, the light on your hold button cycles on and off; it almost seems to reset when you change chords. That's not how mine works (it just cumulatively plays the last five notes struck). How the heck are you doing that?
Thanks! To your question: Honestly have no idea. I don't really see them expanding the Pro 3 and Take 5 line beyond what they did, but Dave has passed now and I'm sure leadership is making plans for future releases. I guess it's possible but *I think* you're more likely to see a prophet revision or a new synth altogether before seeing a Take 5 mk2.
Very keen on this synth. Went to play at a store earlier today. How would you go about unpacking some of the presets as a learning exercise? Some of the knobs you can't tell where they are set as you switch between patches. Thanks!
The Matrix would be the start to see where the modulations are happening. I'd then start adjusting parameters slowly to see how the patch gets effected and go from there. If you're brand new to the synth, or synthesis in general, I'd just start making patches from scratch first though. Much easier to understand the core concepts so you can hear the premade patches 'inner workings' later on.
Couple things ... 1) You're right! It's been less than 2 years. I think the pandemic skewed my timeline and it felt longer. 2) I definitely didn't imply it was 'old', I said it was unexpected to get such major new features (especially from an analog poly) well after it's release date. Bonus 3) Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks for watching!

Take 5 is like a Minilogue all grown up.

Agreed! 2.0 was an excellent addition.
You, sir, are a madman. I suppose I’ll be selling the Rev2…
This is an amazing tutorial thank you! I love the Take 5 and the 2.0 firmware is such a gift! 😍
Thanks for watching!

Thanks this is super useful. Really showcases the capabilities.

Thanks for the video! The Lo-fi effect sounds good! Reminds me of Boards of Canada style music.
This sounds pretty badass
It's a great synth. Just solid.

Always blaming the algo
Great demo, very interesting to see how you approach sound creation!
Thanks Marc!
I have a Polybrute that also has envelope looping but I prefer the raw oscillator sound of the take 5 over the polybrute
I really like this synth.. I have an OB6 as well... Like what you did here.
As we would say back in my day (aka the Pliocene Epoch), "Far out!" I really want to get my hands on some Sequential stuff, even though I'm still just dipping into the Minifreak.

Thanks for watching! ❤️🙏
❤ it
❤️❤️❤️
I'd really love to get a Prophet 6 or OB6 desktop, but I i dont know if I'll ever justify the $. Maybe I should just get a Take 5 to satisfy that itch

Thanks! The answer to your question is the sustain pedal I had plugged in. So my foot was doing the 'hold' button.
Outstanding video!
Thank you Tefty.
Quick question, do you feel that Sequential might be releasing a new “Take 5” type of synth release?
Thanks! To your question: Honestly have no idea. I don't really see them expanding the Pro 3 and Take 5 line beyond what they did, but Dave has passed now and I'm sure leadership is making plans for future releases. I guess it's possible but *I think* you're more likely to see a prophet revision or a new synth altogether before seeing a Take 5 mk2.
Makes perfect sense and thank you so much for your reply Tefty.

Is this recent firmware upgrade present on all brand new Take 5 units, or are there still a few that require it?
No one could possibly answer that. Depends on when the unit left the factory.
Weird, I installed 2.0 but there is no new presets, only old ones...(((
You have to download those too! Search for "DOWNLOAD TAKE 5 SOUND BANKS".
It's only been out a bit over a year and a half (released Aug 21). Feels slightly odd to talk about it like it's old

Thanks for posting. Great stuff.
Looping envelope, now that’s never been done before…oh wait…
I do not need a Take 5!
Why is this one so cheap compared to other synth, its amazing
