For new synts there's always 3 reviewers I trust. Nick from Sonicstate, Loopop's Ziv and Daniel from Sweetwater. This demo again shows Daniel's explanation skills. Many thanks and Keep it up, Daniel!
True! I would like to differentiate saying that Nick is the most ….impredictable, Loopop is the most goingintodetailsdeeply and Daniel is THE demonstrator by knowing the best what to express from the guts of a synth. Always a pleasant moment to listen
And I would like also to add Stimming, TrueCuckoo and here in France we have Knarf from Les Sondiers who is the most concise/complete focussing on what is important to know
Amazing demo. And that look of overwhelming satisfaction on DF's face when he was done. Speechless. Amazing instrument. Now to see if I have budget for one.
Oh no! Why oh why did I watch this video? I've been on the fence about the Take 5, wondering if it really could deliver anything new or inspiring. Then I watch Mr. Fisher doing his magic on the synth and it's mind blown! Now I have to get one of these. Thanks a lot Dan (he says feigning sarcasm). ;)
thanks for this interesting video. from your every gesture you can sense the passion you put into what you do, and this is contagious. I am an amateur inexperienced. I am seriously thinking about buying this synt and if so I think I will review this video over and over again to save time in learning the functions of the machine. The first part is interesting, but the second will be fundamental for me because it enhances the effect that every single rotation of the knobs produces. sorry..one small note ..... the numerous frontal shots interrupt the control of all movements. sorry, maybe I'm asking too much ... many thanks, congratulations and good luck
Nick Batt Loopop and Daniel are my 3 go to's when considering my next synth buy..but theres something about Daniel,the sounds he creates..i think he could even make a Fishing Rod sound Awesome..this and the Modwave are defo my next two priorities..Excellent Reviews of both by Sweetwater..
This reminds me a lot of my Dominion 1. Compact, fat, not the most features in the world but very well thought out, everything that is there is useful. Nice intro to the Sequential ecosystem. And as always a great review by Daniel.
It almost have that overdriven oscillators like mopho x4. The Trigon seems to have that mission to bring the osc drive legacy on, but I wish more synths offered it as it is truly special.
Um this thing sounds amazing. It's marketed as like an entry level synth (and the presets do not do it justice), but its core sound alone makes my minilogue xd sound like a toy.
This has a lot of grit to it. I would love to have one to MIDI to other synth’s patches and to see what kind of happy accidents this one makes on its own.
I’ve been a guitarist and music producer for the last 30 years, and I intend to buy my first synth now. Well, I do have a Korg M1 and a Korg TR61, as well as other sound modules in rack format, but I’d like to go deeper now. One question for those of you who are experienced in this field, please: why would you buy the Take 5 instead of the Deepmind 12 ?
Great demo as usual, and I think it has a nice feature set/layout for the price - sounded a little harsh to my ears though - a matter of personal preference sonically.
$1,299 is the price tag. There are cheaper alternatives, but not with the Sequential name. I'm happy it has full sized keys. Great demo as is always the case!
@@lukehunnable Korg minilogue, for one, which is $550. But it's got teeny tiny keys, which I can't stand. There are synths out there for less than $1,300. Behringer makes a MiniMoog clone that'll do 4 notes at a time for around $500. I'd rather have the Take 5, of course. But sadly I live in the land of virtual synths, which is what I can afford.
😈Still procrastinating.. future me watching this again at 2am?.. 😇Yea. but if I bought one then I wouldn't be here listening to this majestic serenade again. 😈Well, I guess things do happen for a reason..😇 Exactly, now if you only thought that about your marriage. 👿..
The Appegios from 29:15 to 30:05 , is riveting ! thanx for GAZ´íng me overboard to get "The Fiver" ;-) Its SUCH an underestimated future classique,- :-)
Ok I fall in love with this synth now........ Like every time Daniel presents one. Daniel I like you so much, so much... Your friends are so lucky to have you, f@ck..... I can listen you and watch you days and days. My dream synth father..............
It is 8 Oct. 2023 as I comment on this review & demo. I’ve watched others, but this one has somehow helped me hit on something. How does Take 5 differ from the Prophet 5/10? (I think) if the DSI MoPho were equipped with VCOs in lieu of DCOs and multiplied by 5 - more or less - here we’d be. As of this comment, two things I haven’t had in any analog polyphonic I’ve owned yet include VCOs or a complete compliment of real time controllers for the performance functions. This model definitely would be a good choice to have both (I even like the pulse width modulation being directly adjacent to the square wave generator); the Prophet 5/10 is well beyond my spending threshold, even in tabletop edition. (This one speaks to me more anyway.)
Hi Adrian. For synths with 61 keys or less, I like this style of stand because you can reduce its width (or stretch it long) so that the legs are right under the synth. It can also get tall enough for standing if you ever need that: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PlatformStdJS--ultimate-support-js-mps1-jamstans-multi-purpose-mixer-keyboard-stand Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Nice synth. Great job by Dan. But there is no excuse for only 128 user patch locations anymore. Synth patches are minuscule in size and gigabytes of storage are almost free. There should be at least ten banks of 128 in this day. Such an absurd limitation by DSI. Seriously, you could probably store 5,000 synth patches in a MEG of storage space.
This is a point I really, really don't understand on so many synths....... And worst, no possibility to extend that...... This is annoying me SO MUCH with all my synths (I hate plugging my synth on pc to save or edit patches/banks) It kills my motivation, seriously......
The take 5 looks and sound so good, but it doesnt seem to really do analog warmth all that much. Im kinda looking around in this or lower price range. De pro800 from behringer might ve the ticket. Also looking at the prologue and deepmind. What i really want is a JX3P i quess, with a programmer. What affordable synth can get close to that?
"with both of them up, forget about it" that was brutal with both drives. edit: i believe sequential has a real winner here. this has all kinds of cool tricks.
Im so confused lol. Cant choose between going down this "traditional" route or getting a Moog Sound Studio 3, or perhaps a Behringer 2600 clone with a Grandmother. The world of synthesizers is fascinating, and there are different ways of sonically travelling to similar "places"... Can someone help me?
Fwiw, I got a 2600, a grandmother, and a west pest(for the wave folder) to explore semi-modular and to have that grandmother bass. The lack of digital control is a bit of a drag. All my other noise toys, including other analogs, are digitally controlled, and way better for my flow. This is why I am watching this video for the umpteenth time haha. I really want this synth. I was just complaining about how none of these 3 semi-modular synths I have has an lfo you can sync. Take5 has the sync'able lfo and that crazy split keyboard with the sub-octave bottom split. Both serious performance features that other analogs don't have. Also aftertouch keyboard. Grandmother keyboard not aftertouch, but really nice quality.
