![]() ![]() P6 OSC through a Rev4 filter with a decent, if small, keybed for under $1500? I certainly buy it over a rev2 which Ive had zero interest in, and it would fit into my current setup with not much overlap. With Korg and Modal both enjoying sales in this format why not. This isnt quite in this price range but I think it makes good business sense to stick a toe back in that market. Yup, DSI had a few variations of budget friendly synths, desktop and keys. Obviously the Take 5 will win the UI competition, but if the sound is not significantly different from the Tetra, I will stick with my Mopho Keyboard / Tera combo. I would like to hear a shoot-out between it and a Tetra. Personally, I find the take 5 intriguing. Not everyone wants to, or can afford to, drop £2500 to £3000 on one polysynth. they’re not really flooding the market by offering an introductory level unit to familiarize new users with their brand - users that may not have had pulled the trigger on the more expensive flagships already offered.Įxactly. Nothing wrong with a “dumbed down” synth. Yay, let's flood the market with dumbed down synth. My guess is that the Rev 2 oscillators could be cheaper to implement than the Prophet 6 ones, and since this synth is in the lower league of the Sequential prices I suspect that they choose the least expensive ones.Įdit : after write all this I realized you said DCO vs VCO, well, yeah, this is a good point! The variable waveshaper is just a crossfade circuit that cames after the oscillator, so this synth could have the very same oscillators of the Rev 2 inside. The Moog Voyager have the very same variable wave shapes and the Grandmother (that have the same oscillators) have discrete selection of waveforms. Well, the variable wave shape option per se doesn´t defines the internals of an oscillator. triangle -> folded triangle / saw -> double saw / square -> pulse. Meanwhile, P6 have triangle, sawtooth, pulse continuous waveshaper with a separate pulse width knob and Pro 3 have a continuous x-y axis analog wavetable waveshaper i.e. may be it is somewhere between sine and sawtooth. In terms of the waveshaper, Take 5 is its kind of thing, since it have a sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse continuous waveshaper. ![]() May be it uses synth chips like CEM3340 / SSI2130 to cut cost? No idea, those chips are very cheap these days. Yeah, from the spec, Take 5 is a VCO synth. ![]() They don't have the wave options of the P5 (not sure what these are called, the wave shapes that you select with buttons and you can have as many as you want) so I'm guessing they aren't those either - P6 has the same variable wave shape as this does so I'm guessing these are the P6 oscs. Rev 2 had DCOs, these are supposedly VCOs. Being based on the P5´s design I wonder if they used the new SSI 2040 chips or Curtis ones. I bet the oscillators are more in the Rev 2 side, but it´s the filter what will make the difference. I wonder how far the sound will be different from P5/P6/OB-6. Sequential on budget market, and it comes with the vintage knob! ![]()
