The filter sounds suuuper warm and the VCOs definitely add some character imo. They don't have as much high end even when the filter is fully open, almost like they have a rolloff around 10-12k. Starsky Carr has a great video comparing it to the Prophet 5 since they use the same filter. If you're looking for a less technical breakdown, Jorb has an inspiring overview that got me to pull the trigger on investing in the synth as my first analog poly. I'm not versed in playing keys, but even as a module the TAKE 5 is inspiring to program because it has a good balance between depth and simplicity. The mod matrix is wonderful to use and I appreciate the immediacy of it's design. There's not an overwhelming amount of parameters for any one setting which helps me a lot as someone who deals with analysis paralysis when dialing in too many options. I tried out a Hydrasynth Explorer last year for it's size and versatility, but it felt needlessly complex, and tbh the digital aspects weren't really inspiring for me because I wanted to get away from feeling like I was using a VST when using hardware. TAKE 5 is the best of both worlds for me with its capabilities and limitations. If you're okay with 2 LFOs and 2 (loopable) envelopes, it's absolutely a joy to work with.
Mind if i but in? Just got one 2 weeks ago. Its a great tool for creativity! The only drawback as your first poly is the 5 voice limitation. Well worth the investment. Do it.
And yes. Even though theres some digital aspects to it, it does have that analog vibe. Listen to it through some big speakers. I chose this over the new Teo 5. I have several other analogs but Im very pleased with the addition of the Take 5.

What are your thoughts on the Take 5? Analog sound wise. Does it have warmth? Do feel creative with it?
