TAKE5 is excellent synth and enjoing every time playing on. There are only two things I really miss about it that would make it the perfect machine (at least for me)  :)
1.  Ping-Pong Delay (Stereo Cross Delay) The vast majority of modern synthesizers offer this type of delay effect and it is very desirable in electronic music.
2. Another (different) type of Chorus effect. To be specific, I'm referring to the creaminess and lushness of the Juno6 chorus. This type of chorus would enhance the (already beautiful) sound of the TAKE5.
Please consider adding these effects in some of the next updates. Many thanks  ;)

The BBD delay ping pongs but it’s only audible if you pan what’s going into it.  DC->Panning in the mod matrix does it.  Or Voice Sprd->Panning.

A proper ping pong delay that ping pongs even with a mono input would be a nice enhancement though.
OB-6 module, Take 5, TEO-5, plus many other synths.

Hen gang!
In case you're still taking suggestions ...

- Looks like I'm not alone wishing the Main Display showed parameter values (current AND saved).  It would drastically improve workflow, for both live and sound design sessions.  Novation's Summit does this, and it's a game-changer.

- Would love to see a more functional sequencer.  So tempting with 16 buttons right at your fingertips.  Adding ratchets/swing/probability/etc would really round this machine out as a portable workhorse.

- A shortcut for Key Tracking would be wonderful.  It's used so often, yet buried in the menu.  Can the Bank key work double duty as a SHIFT key?  Then the Filter Drive pot would make a great knob for Key Tracking.

Absolutely love this synth.  Thanks for all work and love ya'll pour into these things!
