Common Sequential Take 5 Questions
How do I sync the Take 5's arpeggiator or sequencer to an external MIDI clock source?
Go to Global Settings (press Global), navigate to 'MIDI Clock' and set it to 'External'. The Take 5 will now slave to incoming MIDI clock signals.
How do I save my custom sounds (programs) on the Sequential Take 5?
To save a program, press the 'Write' button, select the bank/program number using the Program knob, and press 'Write' again to confirm. The Take 5 offers plenty of program slots for your custom sounds.
What is the 'Vintage Knob' on the Take 5 and how does it affect the sound?
The 'Vintage Knob' introduces subtle voice-to-voice variations in tuning, filter cutoff, and oscillator behavior, mimicking the imperfections of classic analog synthesizers. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of vintage character.
My Take 5 isn't making any sound. What should I check first?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up and the MIDI channel is correctly set in Global Settings to match your controller. Then, verify that the 'Unison' mode isn't accidentally engaged with the number of voices set to zero.
How do I create a simple sequence on the Take 5?
Press the 'Record' button, then play the notes you want to record into the sequencer; press 'Record' again to stop recording and start playback. You can then edit parameters like note length, rests, and ratchets using the sequencer edit controls.
