The Joy of Adding A Compact Analog Synthesizer To Your Setup

video upload by EZBOT

"In this video, I explore the pure joy of adding a compact analog synthesizer to a modern Elektron setup. Pairing the Digitakt II and Digitone II with the Sequential Take 5 desktop unlocks a whole new level of warmth, depth, and character. I’ll show you how this small but powerful analog poly integrates seamlessly with your grooveboxes, bringing lush pads, punchy basslines, and expressive leads into your workflow without sacrificing portability. If you’ve been wondering whether an analog synth can really elevate your hybrid setup, this video will show you exactly why it’s worth it."

"This is certainly one of the best, if not the best sounding synth I have ever owned, but I just put a lot of money into getting it back in tip top shape and decided its time to modernize my gear.

This P5 has been worked on by DFX and Analog Lab:

Analog Lab:

Replaced main ribbon cable

Key contacts cleaned and adjusted

Reseated power connectors

Smoothing caps replaced and repaired

DFX:

New power cable installed

New pots installed where needed

Wood side panel repair

Decoupling capacitors replaced

So...

There it is, quite a bit of work to get this thing back on line and now its set for years of use. All voice chips are in great shape too, which is probably the most important part of the entire synth since those are practically irreplaceable. While I have enjoyed having such a neat piece of gear around, the costs to repair it caught up to me and I think it belongs with someone who can continue to take care of it, whether that means having a good tech of their own or being able to do maintenance themselves when it needs it.

As for now, it is in tech certified working condition!"

"Some reworked and new tracks put together for a recent product performance/demonstration. Tracks start with a lighter/brighter feeling before transitioning to heavier/darker sound. The Novation Bass Station II and Sequential Take 5 were used for external synthesizers alongside backing tracks in Ableton, while the Novation Launch Control XL 3 was used for additional control/manipulation of tracks.

Hurray... Take 5 and TEO 5 Desktop Units

video upload by Starsky Carr

TEO 5 announced here

"The Take 5 and Teo-5 from Sequential and Oberheim make fantastic desktop units. They feel like they were made for this form factor - no compromises, simply great sounding synths in a high quality enclosure. The keyboard versions may have felt lacking in keys (even though they have a great keybed) - just a bit too short for some. I found it was quite handy having one that could fit on my rack! But with these the only decision you have to make is which one is best for you.

Luckily I'm here to confuse you further (they both sound great)! The decision will be whether you prefer the Oberheim or Sequential style of VCO programming, the filters, and the X-Mod/FM. And these just so happen to be the bits I look at in this :)"

Is analog poly synth any good? One synth jam. Sequential Take 5

Dreamer 💭 (Sequential Take 5 + H90 / Nymphes + Microtubes X / 0Coast + Timeline / TR6S / Hapax)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Back to the ~2-minute format 😅

In this track, the Hapax is sequencing all the instruments, starting with the Take 5 where I tweak a few knobs. Then comes the BASS played by the Nymphes. For this sound, I used its LFO's delay parameter. Thus you first hear the sound without any modulation, then comes the syncopated part at the end of the sound! I finally launch the LEAD part played by the 0-Coast through the Timeline delay and DRUMS, played by the TR-6S. The Hapax FILL button is being used here to activate a couple of MIDI effects on the different tracks.

Hardware used *

// 🥁 DRUMS: Roland TR-6S (Digital Rhythm Performer)
// 🎸 BASS: Dreadbox Nymphes (6-voice analog synth) + Darkglass Microtubes X (Multiband analog Distortion)
// 🎹 PLUCKS: Sequential Take 5 (5-voice analog synth) + Eventide H90
// 🎸 LEAD: Make Noise 0-Coast (semi-modular analog mono synth) + Strymon Timeline (Ice Delay)
// SEQUENCER: Squarp Instruments Hapax

Recorded in one shot and mixed in Ableton Live."

Sequential Take 5: "Taking The Five" patches HD Demo - No Talking

video upload by Stefano Daino

"This is the demo of several patches included in the 'Taking the Five' Vol 1 & Vol 2, two libraries each of 64 sounds for the Sequential Take 5 synthesizer.

These patches aim to reproduce the sounds that characterized the music performed with the analog polyphonic synthesizers serie in the '80s, as well as the sounds that are only possible with a new generation analog synthesizer, which have the advantage of touch-sensitive, aftertouch keyboards, which have powerful programmable modulation matrices, and excellent built-in effects.

The 'Taking the Five' Vol 1 & Vol 2 for the Sequential Take 5 are available at https://www.dsp-quattro.com/dspquattr..."

Just watch. Thought it was kind of funny - kitty showing respect.

"I was playing with the Matriarch arpeggiator when Bella stepped on the TEO-5 sequencer button and started it playing a preset sequence which actually went well with what I had going already. I added another arp from the Take 5 to round it out. My kitty is creative!"
