Dave Smith’s Sexy Mopho
New Prophet speaks with one voice.. 12-Sep-08
Dave Smith’s Sexy Mopho
It's certainly YELLOW
For one of the little guys, I mean little in terms of size of company, for we all know of Dave Smith’s giant stature in the synth business, it amazes me just how often new synths are released from him.
This latest synth, the monphonic Mopho is based on the voice architecture of the Prophet 8 and the parameter access of the Evolver series and turns it yellow, very yellow. The user interface has been paired down to give access to the most commonly accessed parameters, Pitch, Cutoff, Resonance, Attack and Decay/Release, with a further four assignable controls - which can be programmed from the front panel – you can fully program the synth from there, or via the Mac/PC basic editing software. There's also the intriguing looking button labeled 'Push It!"
Dave says of it:
"The challenge was to deliver the renowned sound quality of a single voice of the Prophet '08 in a package that would be affordable for a much broader group of players and recording artists without sacrificing the performance features so important to making an analog synth really sing."
Each of the two oscillators has it's own sub oscillator, OSC 1 at 1 octave down and OSC 2 at two down for plenty of range - Dave says "It has taken on a life of its own, it's an inexpensive, feature-rich mono synth that really excels at basses and big, fat lead sounds".
