What P5r4 Filter implementation is it? SSI2140 (Inspired by Prophet 5 r1/2/4)Ģ. $1649 or $2149 for Prophet Rev 2 vs $1299 for Take 5īiggest Questions from the Leaked Take 5 Specs:ġ. see articles on Voice Component Modeling for more info) The Rev factory and user patch slots, whereas the Take 5 only has 256 total. (on the Rev 2, you can manually model this type of per-voice-variance, but its more work. Also the Take 5 has the built in Vintage Knob for per-voice variance. The Take 5 also has analog Frequency Modulation for many interesting sound designs and bell type tones. The Take 5 does have a nicer 4-Pole filter sound, VCOs with independent mix levels and two types of noise (both pink and white). The Rev2 also has a more versatile 61-key, 5 octave keybed. The high voice count is great for stacks, or for more cinematic, evolving pad or string type of sounds with long release times. The voice count on the Rev 2 (8voices or 16voices) is also significantly higher than the 5 voices on Take 5. The Rev2 has a 2-pole filter option as well, one more envelope and two more LFOs, which allows for deeper modulation. It is bitimbral, meaning you can split or stack two sounds together, which opens up lots of unique sound design possibilities and stereophonic/binaural sounds as well. The Rev2 is a DCO based synth, with a very deep sound engine. The P6 gives you access to 500 factory and 500 user patches, whereas the Take 5 offers only 128 of each. Both have continuously variable VCO waveshaping, however the Take 5 has a Sine vs the Prophet 6 Triangle, so its a slightly different flavor. The Prophet 6 does have polyphonic high pass filter, which Take 5 doesn't. With Take 5, you have an extra LFO (one Global and one Polyphonic LFO), you've got more envelope control, and a 16-slot mod matrix - this indicates a significant amount more sound design capability than the Prophet 6. On paper, the Take 5 offers one less voice, but has a deeper sound engine, and more capabilities. The Prophet 6, of course, is another modern Prophet type of synthesizer. $3600 for Prophet 5r4 vs $1299 for Take 5 The Prophet 5r4 offers 200 factory and 200 user programs, whereas the Take 5 offers only 128 of each. The P5r4 has a Triangle, which is not directly selectable from Take 5 Osc Shapes, though may be available as part of the continuous variable waveshape knob. The Take 5 uses the SSI2130 VCO oscillators, and offers Sine wave out, which will be a good option for Frequency Modulation (FM). Most of the same oscillator territory can be achieved, but each synth can do some oscillator generation that the other cannot. Also, the VCOs on the Take 5 are continously variable waveshapes from Sine, Saw, Square/Pulse, whereas the Prophet 5r4 features button switchable shapes that can be mixed. This is one of the character contributors to the vintage P5 sound. It is possible that Per Key allocation could be added to Take 5 via firmware update. The Prophet 5r4 does have a Per-Key voice allocation option, like the vintage Prophet 5s, and at this time the Take 5 only offers Round Robin voice allocation. With 5 voices, VCOs, the SSI2140 Prophet 5r4 filter, and vintage knob, it appears this synth will be able to sound very similar to the Prophet 5r4. The Take 5 is more of a basic portable poly synth, built around the Prophet 5 sound palette. The Pro 3 is really a flagship mono/para synth - the most versatile analog mono synth ever created. Pro 3 has a third wavetable oscillator, three filters, four envelopes, four LFOs, a huge 32-slot mod matrix, and the incredible 64 step poly and modulation sequencer with 16 tracks. Pro 3 has a much deeper sound engine, but in mono/para territory. The Take 5 is less of a Pro family member, and more of a Prophet family member. While it is visually similar to the Pro 3 synth, these two synths should not be compared. Here's our first take on comparisons with other Sequential synths: The next synth from Sequential appears to be the Take 5.
