Noch ist es nicht offiziell, aber Dave Smith kommt mit einem neuen analogen Sequential- Synthesizer an den Start.
Anzeige
Er heißt Take 5, ähnelt äußerlich ein wenig dem Pro 3 und (wer hätte das gedacht?) ist fünffach polyfon. Eine Stimme basiert auf zwei VCOs mit analogen Wellenformen, es gibt ein 4-Pol-Tiefpassfilter, eine digitale Effektsektion sowie Arpeggiator und Sequenzer.
Hier die Features des Sequential Take 5:
OSCILLATORS
Two analog VCOs per voice
Continuously variable wave shape (sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse) per oscillator
Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2
Square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice
Keyboard tracking on/off for each oscillator
Front-panel FM (frequency modulation)
MIXER
Oscillator 1 amount
Oscillator 1 sub-octave amount
Oscillator 2 amount
White noise amount
LOW-PASS FILTER
Four-pole, resonant, analog low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet 5 Rev 4 design
Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
Bi-polar filter envelope amount
ENVELOPES
Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, gate)
Velocity modulation of each envelope amount
Envelopes freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations
LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR
Five wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold)
Clock sync (internal or external MIDI clock)
Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations
DIGITAL EFFECTS
One dedicated reverb with damping, pre-delay, decay and tone
One multi-effect with stereo delay, BBD delay, tape delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, ring mod, vintage rotating speaker, distortion, high-pass filter
Dedicated Overdrive effect
VINTAGE KNOB
Recreates the characteristics of vintage synthesizers by introducing micro-fluctuations in oscillators, filter, and envelopes per voice.
AFTERTOUCH
Source: channel (mono) aftertouch with bi-polar amount
Aftertouch freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations
CLOCK
Master clock with tap tempo
BPM control and display
MIDI clock sync
ARPEGGIATOR
Up, down, up+down, random, assign modes
Syncs to MIDI clock
Re-latching arpeggiation
SEQUENCER
Polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps with ties and rests
PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
Full-sized, semi-weighted, 3.5-octave premium Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
Spring-loaded pitch wheel with selectable range per program with independently adjustable upper and lower pitch wheel range transpose controls
Low-split mode creates two independent performance zones with different octave ranges
Hold switch latches held notes on
Polyphonic glide (portamento)
Unison (monophonic) mode with configurable voice count, from one to all five voices, and key modes
Factory switch: when off, the front panel is live; what you see is what you hear
PATCH MEMORY
128 user and 128 factory
IN/OUT
1 MIDI In, 1 MIDI Out, and 1 MIDI Thru port
USB port for bidirectional MIDI communication
1 Sustain/footswitch input
1 Expression pedal input
Main stereo output (2 x 1/4″ phone jack)
Headphone out (stereo 1/4″ phone jack)
Ein Preis steht noch nicht fest, aber es heißt (in einem mittlerweile gelöschtem Leak), er könnte im Bereich um die 1200,- € liegen.
