I do not even have a guess what a "Take 5" could be...

Possibly a looper/sequencer, at least thats the first thing that jumped into my mind.

Obviously the long awaited multitimbral kazoo featuring a 5 step sequencer.

Seriously hope it's a dedicated sequencer.


But Dave said the next two instruments will be Analog so....I have no idea how that would work.

Surly it wouldn't be an analog synth called the Take 5.....unless it's a 5 part multitimbral monster synth.

In either case it best have a picture of Dave Brubeck on the front panel.

Now that's just inaccurate, Paul.  It's not the kazoo that is multitimbral, but the fact that you can fit several different models in your mouth all at once, thus producing a broad and varied sonic range of layered kazoo richness.

It's the REV 5 called the Prophet 5 REV 5 TAKE 5.

I like the sound of that.

Well, I mean PEK was only 4 voice.  I eventually added a 5th voice via polychain which made it more useable.   But yes, in this day and age just 5 voice poly would seem unlikely.

Unless it's 5 part multitimbral. That was my suggestion for a "Pro 4" idea. Essentially 4 AS-1 mono synths that can each have it's own sound, sequence, effect etc.

How about this? Perhaps it’s a 5-vector morphing synth.

X-Y plane has four parts; if you add the Z axis, that gives 5. Perhaps with a controller similar to the Polybrute’s Morphée to access all five parts (as opposed to the 4-way joystick of the Prophet VS).

Possible. Paul Dither made a design with a touch pad once.

Hmmm ... something to do with Dave Brubeck and rhythm ...

Sounds like a new drum machine to me.

5 different synthesis type? Subtractive + Wavetable + Physical Modelling + FM + Sample?

Or some new modal synthesis technology (modal synthesis ~ modal jazz)?

Just my speculation  :P

Dave said the next two instruments are analog....so unless they are going to do a completely analog drum machine (which I think would be a misstep as I think everyone has moved on to different forms of synthesis) I can't see it happening.

Roger Linn also said he thinks Dave is done with dabbling in drum machines because of the fiasco with the Tempest.

But I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of a 5 different forms of synthesis in a drum machine, I just hope that it has multiple midi channel outputs.

Dave once teased the idea of the Prophet X sample technology being put into a drum machine but Pym said it would be an absolute nightmare to implement in terms of multitimbrality.

So it's a Prophet 6....but with one less voice and half an octave missing. Mmkay.

I do appreciate the idea of a lower tier analog poly synth from Sequential. I've been pushing for a MophoX4 successor....maybe this is it?

Re: New Sequential Patent - Take 5
« Reply #18 on: August 20, 2021, 10:28:22 AM »
You know.....on second thought, I understand it. It's more a successor to the MophoX4 than a Poly Pro 3 or modern Prophet 5 or whatever. It's a stripped down, basic, lower tier analog poly synth.  It's more for people who are primarily playing another instrument and just want a basic analog poly synth next to them to play a few chords. Nothing elaborate or expensive.

Specs say ”based on the P5 filter”; I wonder if it’ll have a resonance compensation option.
