Sequential Take 5 Keyboard

All 2.0 Features:

• Double the number of Presets – Version 2.0 introduces 128 brand new programs created by some of the world’s leading sound designers. Explore lush pads, fat basses, and shimmering leads. 
• Expanded program storage – We’ve added 8 new sound bank locations creating a grand total of 512 program memory slots. 
• Envelope Repeat – Create complex and evolving textures with both envelopes capable of looping through their Delay, Attack, and Decay stages.
• A line drawing of the Take 5 Envelope Stages and how they progress over time. Arrows point out the stages that loop.
• LFO Slew – Beautiful smooth and organic modulations can be applied with the new Slew parameter available for LFO 1 and LFO 2.
• Lo-Fi Effect – Go from vintage character to all-out “busted tape deck” with our brand new Lo-Fi effect. 
• Oscillator 2 Filter Bypass – Oscillator 2 can now be set to bypass the filter, giving programs the ability to sound both raw and full frequency, while at the same time, sculpted and warm, for a uniquely layered timbral experience.
• A line graphic of the Take 5 Oscillator section showing the Octave, Pitch and Wave Shape controls.
• Scale – Now alternate tunings can be saved per program with 65 scales select-able from this new program parameter. Choose between Indian, Chinese, Gamelan, and scores of specialized tunings from around the world.
• Mod Destination Assignment to Vintage Amount – Send modulations to Vintage Amt to dynamically change the calibration accuracy of the synth. Go from rock solid to thick detune and back again without lifting a finger.
• Foot Pedal sequencer control – Run out of hands and fingers for the big show? Use a foot pedal to start and stop the sequencer by activating the new global/Foot Function parameter.
