For even more warmth, a Vintage knob affects the behavior of the oscillator, filter and envelope individually from voice to voice. The Prophet 5-line 4-pole analog filter shapes the sound of the oscillators and sub-oscillator in classic fashion, while a Drive control adds punch. The Take 5's specialty is sonic versatility: two voltage-controlled oscillators deliver traditional sine, saw and pulse waves with waveshaping, while a simple analog FM system creates harmonically complex, bell-like FM timbres when needed. Dual digital effects and dedicated overdrive, continuously variable waveshaping, and front-panel access to analog FM ensure that the Take 5 can cover a wide range of sounds - from vintage to modern.

The clever Key Split feature gives players a wider playing range than many other compact synthesizers by allowing them to divide the 3.5-octave keyboard into two separate performance zones.

The Take 5 is a full-featured subtractive synthesizer with two VCOs and one sub-oscillator per voice, a classic 4-pole resonant filter from the Prophet-5 Rev 4 design, 44 full-size keys, and a high-quality Fatar keybed.
