Editing Programs
All of the sound-shaping controls of the Take 5 appear on its front panel.
To edit an existing program, just turn a knob and listen to its effect. Keep
turning knobs and pressing buttons and if you like what you’ve created,
save the program (see “Saving a Program” on page 6).
Creating a Program from Scratch
The Take 5 makes it easy to create a new sound from scratch by provid-
ing a “basic program” that you can quickly recall at any time. This
provides a simple starting point that you can quickly build on. It consists
of a single oscillator (sawtooth), basic filter settings, basic envelope
settings, and simple mod and pitch wheel setups.
To recall the Basic Program:
1. Press the
global
settings button.
2. With the select knob, choose the basic program command.
3. Press the write button.
4. The Take 5 resets its parameters to the Basic Program.
Shortcut for creating the Basic Program: Hold down the
transpose down
button
then press the
low split
-2 button.
Saving a Program
To save a program, you have to save it to the User bank. If you edit a Factory
program, saving the sound will save it to the User bank.
To save a User program to the same preset location:
1. Press the write button. The LED begins blinking.
2. Press the write button a second time. The LED stops blinking and the
program is saved to its current location.
