Gary Williams Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Wasn't sure what section to put this in but this seems like the most appropriate. Dave Smith Instruments MOPHO - forget Deep Impacts, EHX Micro Synths, Octavius Squeezers etc, this is the real deal. Fat analogue Prophet and Moog sounds - all you need is a midi feed via one of those Sonuus B2Ms, Terratec Axon or other bass to midi converters and every synth bass sound you ever lusted after is here at your fingertips. Infinitely configurable although many of the 380 odd bass synth presets sound instantly familiar from classic 70s, 80s and 90's tracks. [url="http://www.dsisynth.com/audio/mopho_demos/mopho_basses.mp3"]Go here to an MP3 of just some of the presets[/url] [url="http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/products/mopho/mopho_audio.php"]Go here for various other sample MP3s[/url] [b]Here's the spec from the DSI website: [/b] Mopho is a compact and affordable—but powerful—monophonic analog synthesizer. The voice architecture is identical to a single voice of the Prophet '08, but with a couple of unique twists to distinguish it from its award-winning sibling. We have 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. The Push It button is a manual trigger that lets you play a specific note or latch notes and sequences on. It can also step through a sequence to play short melodic lines without a keyboard. Of course, Mopho can also be used with a MIDI controller or external sequencer. Mopho is fully programmable and all the parameters can be tweaked from the front panel. The four Assignable Parameters controls are assignable per program for optimum performance control. A free editor is available for Mac OS and Windows to facilitate programming. (And, if you already have a Prophet '08, most of Mopho's parameters can be controlled from the Prophet's front panel via MIDI!) Mopho is perfect for people who want to learn the ins and outs of real analog synthesis without spending a bundle, DJs looking to add some old school sonic spice to their setups, and musicians who will appreciate a great-sounding, very portable mono synth. • Affordable, fully programmable mono synth with a 100% analog signal path. • Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filter. • Process external audio through the filter and envelopes. • Just 7.5" x 5" (19.05 cm x 12.7 cm). • Free editor for Mac OS and Windows Original box and mains adaptor. £205.00 posted within UK mainland Edited December 10, 2010 by Gary Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Twickerman Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I use one of these with my bass pedals. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlitos71 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi I am very interested in this, have you tried it with the Sonus B2M, I am very curious how they work together? You have any clips or videos? Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Williams Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Carlos - not tried the B2M as I just used this using a midi keyboard here on my Logic setup. Looking at the Sonuus website, looks like the B2M works well but you have to play precisely and cleanly for the midi to trigger accurately. Hope this helps. I think there a few demos of the Sonuus on Youtube if you search. The Mopho itself though does have some great sounds plus obviously they are editable.
