Duophonic mode

[HotDog]

Does the Take 5 have a duophonic mode somewhere, or a way to limit the number of voices used in a polyphonic patch? I love the paraphonic modes in Bass Station 2 and Moog Messenger, and now I'm curious about using a Take 5 the same way.

On the Take 5, any selected voice can be defeated temporarily (with voice selected, hold GLIDE and press HOLD), but since the Take 5 features a filter per voice, there is no way to force paraphony (that is, one filter across all voices) like in the BS II or Pro 3.

Thanks for the answer. I'm hoping that my query will inspire someone at Sequential to add an option to limit polyphony to 2-4 voices in a future update. Have a good day!

Sure thing, HotDog.

If it wasn't clear, paraphony is not possible with the circuit design of the Take 5, since each voice has its own separate filter. Paraphony means all voices share a single filter, and this needs to be built into the circuit.

Yes, I understand that paraphonic mode isn't possible. I probably shouldn't have used that word at all since the real objective was finding a two-voice poly setting. Paraphony was only brought up as a reference to the other synths.
