Take 5 / Re: Owning both the Take 5 and the Prophet 6? Too much overlap?

Hi All,

This is my very first post on this forum!

So, here is the deal; I have the chance to buy a near-perfect Take 5 for a VERY reasonable price. The thing is, I already own a P6 (which I love). Does it make sense to own both synths? Or maybe there is too much overlap? Are the OSC and the filter, etc the same?

For context I own the following; P6/OB6, Subsequent 37, Analog Four MK2 and the Novation Peak.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

PS: I have to give the shop an answer by Monday;)

I am sure lots of people will say go for it, they are different synths etc.

My advice would be, do you really need another polysynth? You already have a P6, OB6, A4, Peak.. Would you be better off spending the cash on something else - effects, compressors, outboard etc? If the motivation for it comes from the fact there’s a good deal to be had alone that perhaps answers the question. Having said that, if it is a truly great deal you can always sell it on at some point if you’re not using it - up to you of course! But I would definitely think about if you really need that over something else before making the call.

Just my opinion, and whatever way you decide good luck and enjoy!

Hi Ray,

That’s a valid point. As you pointed out, I don’t “need” another poly. But it’s hard to say no to 500$ off for what essentially is near brand new unit:D

With that said, I don’t want to buy it if it sounds to close to my P6… Hence my question.

Yes, the 15V power supply listed on the site for the Tempest should work with both 240-220AC volts and 120-110 volts. However, it's always a good idea to double-check the specifications or contact the manufacturer to ensure compatibility with your specific electrical system.

Despite the fact that the desktops won't fit in a typical rack, I prefer their broader dimensions.

1.2.0.7 is out guys, just a small bug fix the notes say, please post your findings and issues here, will update mine after work later today.

Where can this be downloaded? The latest listed on the support page is 1.2.0.4.

I am having a bizarre problem with my SE being one step off when played via MIDI at random times; just figured I'd install the latest to see if that exorcizes the demon.
The first pinned post in the pro 3 section here on the forum:

Take 5 / Re: Owning both the Take 5 and the Prophet 6? Too much overlap?

You might also ask over in the P6 forum if you haven't already. I've not played or heard a Prophet 6 so have nothing to add other than a recollection that some people here felt the T5 had a larger sweet spot, but double-check that because it may have been in reference to the Rev 2 and not the P6. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It might also help if you could describe your use-case -- I guess one reason to buy might be because you want to gig w/o taking a ton of gear.

Prophet-5/Prophet-10 / Re: 2.04 Aftertouch / Velocity settings not getting saved
« Last post by spacesoul on April 18, 2024, 09:08:57 AM »
It's getting really disappointing: It's been a year since the last update and bugs are not  eliminated by Sequential ...

Adjusted level for Aftertouch & Velocity is not getting saved.
Also the "workaround" to alter some parameters like Cuttoff and than saving is not working for me. I always get the same full blast value of 127 when changing the program and return to the one I´ve just saved.

When is the update coming?

Sequential Prophet X / Re: Prophet X not loading

Just happened to me after all these years I've had it. It's just stuck on the loading screen. It doesn't say "Can't reach audio processor" it's just stuck. I've tried the F1 plnk keyboard trick and nothing is working.

The very same weekend I sell my Prophet 6 my Prophet X breaks.
Oh no, that's terrible. Could it be the same battery issue as before?
