Mopho keyboard update

Post by tom Cadillac » Sun Nov 21, 2010 4:48 am

How you guys getting on with the Mopho keyboard? I got mine as soon as it hit the shelves. Its just fabulous in my opinion. Getting to love its true analog rawness more and mnre and I think the design is great. :D

I've got one, I think its strengths are the many sequencers & LFOs, the feedback distortion and the build quality. To be honest I wouldn't swap it for a Little Phatty even though its a cheaper synth.

Love it. It's a freaky little bastard. I agree that the sequencer/arp/LFOs are it's strong point. You can have endless fun with those.

absolutely love mine. I had the module and sold it nearly 12 months ago to clear space for a mopho keyboard. I didn't want to be caught up in the swarms of people offloading their modules for a keyboard and thus have to sell it super cheap. I bought the keyboard as soon as it hit shelves over here.

I love mine.

When I get gear lust I start imagining myself swapping it out for a virus B and saving up for a monomachine, but then I play it and hours go by while I make funky patches. I really wish the filter was multimode, though. It's a lot of fun to make a patch seem "alive" by adding slight bits of modulation from the natural modulation sources (velocity/pressure).

Another happy owner here.

The lack of a multi-mode filter isn't a big deal for me, since I always record its output and post-process within my DAW.

It's a simple, raw, no-frills real analog synth... that is actually affordable.
