Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Keyboard Synth Overview

The Mopho Keyboard is a compact, affordable, and powerful monophonic analog synthesizer. The voice architecture is similar to a single voice of Dave Smith Instruments' Prophet '08, but with a couple of twists to distinguish it from its award-winning sibling. Dave Smith Instruments has added two sub-octave generators (one per oscillator) for additional girth and crushing basses. It also has an audio input that lets you process external audio and mix Mopho's own audio output back in pre-filter for feedback effects that can range from subtle distortion to extreme skronk. It features the same semi-weighted keyboard action as Dave Smith Instruments' Prophet.The Mopho Keyboard is an affordable, full-featured mono synth with a 100% analog audio path. The Mopho Keyboard features 32 full-sized, semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch in a package about the same size as most 25-note controller keyboards. Choose from its 384 preset sounds or craft your own sounds with 25 soft-touch knobs and 20 switches.The Mopho Keyboard features 2 oscillators, 2 sub-octave generators, a classic Curtis low-pass filter (2- or 4-pole), 3 five-stage envelope generators with ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release) plus delay, 4 LFOs (low-frequency oscillators), and real analog VCAs (voltage-controlled amplifiers). In addition, it also includes an arpeggiator, a gated 16 x 4 step sequencer (with 1 sequence per program), feedback, the ability to process external audio, and an extensive modulation matrix. Hit the Tap Tempo button to beat match or sync the arpeggiator, sequencer, and match LFOs to MIDI clock.The Mopho Keyboard is fully programmable and all the parameters are logically arranged for easy access on the front panel. A free editor is also available for Mac OS and Windows to facilitate programming.You can integrate and automate the Mopho Keyboard with your computer and other hardware using standard MIDI jacks or with a direct USB connection. The eagle-eyed musician may find it odd that

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Analog Synthesizer 61 Key Keyboard

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Analog Synthesizer 61 Key Keyboard Review

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Analog Synthesizer 61 Key Keyboard Feature

• 4 Voice Polyphonic Analog/Digital MIDI Synthesizer With Sequencer

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Analog Synthesizer 61 Key Keyboard Overview

Designed by Dave Smith, founder of Sequential Circuits and long-time music technology innovator, the 4-voice polyphonic Poly Evolver combines some of his best creations into slick-looking 61-key keyboard. Start with the oscillators: two real analog oscillators featuring Sawtooth, Triangle, Saw-Triangle, and Pulse meet two digital wavetable generators with a choice of 96 waveforms (like the Prophet VS). You can hard sync the analog oscillators (like Prophet 5) and link the digital ones with either FM or Ring Mod for a wide pallette of sounds. And there's no skimping on filters either: real voltage-controlled analog lowpass filters - not digital recreations. 4-pole/2-pole switchable, fully resonant (in 4-pole mode). You also get an audio input that can run through the effects and filter to your heart's content. There's more - a 16-step sequencer with MIDI sync, onboard distortion and delay, syncable LFO's... let your sound Evolve! Features: Four oscillators in total: two analog, two digital Analog Oscillator waveshape are Sawtooth, Triangle, Saw-Triangle, and Pulse (with voltage-controlled analog Pulse-Width modulation) Digital Oscillators select from 96 wavetables from the Prophet-VS (128 x 12 bits), and 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) Wavetables (128 x 16 bits). The Digital Oscillators get trashy as the frequency gets higher, as with the original VS. Hard Sync on the analog oscillators FM and Ring Mod on the digital oscillators Separate Glide per osci...
