Sequential Take 5

What got my eye on this machine was to get a poly that has a modified prophet 5 rev-4 filter and that gives lots of modulation matrix. You won't be dissapointed if you like the prophet sound and love to create your own patches that needs much modulation. But keep in mind that this machine is not as analogue behaving as the prophet 6 or for example a prophet 5 in the big picture. But on the other hand the advantages are instead you get a much easier synth for modern production which was what I needed. This synth begins to open up very cool sonic territory when you start to play with the modulation matrix and imagen how many sounds you can make with this machine for that reasonable price! Even If I have synths that are in a way higher price range I can guarantee that this is definently one machine that is still worth owning in the collection. The big plus is that you can work crazy fast with creating your own patches and the modulation matrix is so nice! The sound is very pleasent and the filter that is 24db can create many usefull sounds in the music. The synth do not overtake your mix and is very kind to use in the project. The formfactor is just perfect to have on a desktop, the machine is very fun if you are into sound design and an advice is to get the soundtower editor if you want to manage your patches easy or reach some "hidden parameters" more easily. If there is something negative I would point out would only be two things first one is that the encoders for select and value makes your hand cover the view of the display but its ok and the last thing which could be fixed with firmware update in future if we are lucky is that delay time is not shown in value when dialing in, or perhaps there is a way to display it that I have not yet figured out? Over all I am more than happy that I got this synth and this machine.
