Sequential Take 5 MIDI implementation

The MIDI implementation of the Sequential Take 5: what it answers to, and the 170 controls it offers, on firmware 2.0.

At a glance

Firmware: This page describes firmware 2.0.
MIDI channel: Any one of 1 to 16.
Voices: 5.
Note range: Not recorded.
Velocity: Sent and received. Release velocity is ignored.
Aftertouch: Channel pressure and polyphonic, each answered. It sends aftertouch too.
Pitch bend: How far it bends is not recorded, and the range can be changed.
Program change: Received and sent, with 256 presets.
MIDI clock: Sent and received.
Start and stop: Sent and received.
Control change: 87 controls, in the tables below.
NRPN: Supported, and preferred to CC. 158 of the controls below have one.
System exclusive: Supported.

Controls

In the order the definition gives them, by group. Under each control is the name a program calls it by, once pymidiinstrumentdefs.load("sequential/take_5") has loaded them.

Take 5 MIDI Implemenation, V2, its MIDI implementation, read on 13 September 2026 (the file read).
Take 5 User's Guide, Version 2.0, dated May 2025, its user manual, read on 13 September 2026 (the file read).

Take 5 Operating System - Sequential, Main OS 2.1.0.2, Panel OS 1.1.2, its release notes, read on 30 September 2026.

How they were read

MIDI Implementation V2, 17 pages: the global MIDI settings at p. 1, received and transmitted messages at pp. 2-3, the control-change table at pp. 4-6, NRPN transport at pp. 8-9, and the program, control and global NRPN tables at pp. 10-13. The User's Guide v2.3 names the states some parameters step through, at pp. 13, 24, 30, 40, 46-47 and 51-52, and the OS 2.0 addendum (2 pages) the features the tables do not carry.

NOT RECORDED:

which number means which named state, because the implementation gives only ranges and in three places the guide lists a different number of states from the range (see the comments);
what changed in the OS releases after 2.0, which Sequential does not publish notes for;
the NRPN form of the two oscillator fine tunes, printed as -700 to 700 with no encoding given;
and any address for Envelope Repeat, Osc 2 Filter Bypass or LFO Slew, which appear in neither table.
