mopho keyboard (please describe the mopho sound)

[Factory all stars]

anyonelse excited about it? $800 seems fair enough for a new analog mono with midi.is it what i'm lookin for?I need some other worldly/acid/trippy/atmospherics to back up our stretchy/ambient/soundtrack guitar playing.CHEERS.I also use a waldorf micro Q for pads

[boxed]

Is that more than what the polyphonic Blofeld costs?

No, it's about $300 less than the Blofeld keyboard.

It's also monophonic, knobby and real analog vs. polyphonic, multitimbral and digital.

Very much apples and oranges.

The last two synths that I have gotten are the MoPho and Blofeld (and I used to have a Micro Q). To my ear the Micro Q/Blofeld and MoPho are different sounding synths and IMO compliment one other or I would at least make the argument that there's not so much overlap that it would be redundant to have both. There are MoPho preset audio examples and a few MoPho songs at davesmithinstruments.com I'd say check those out and see what you think.

I honestly just will buy this for the keyboard part haha.

Then again, im just going to shell out the extra 400 for this Pro-One getting restored.

You can read the PE take on it and extrapolate from there....

I have fantasies of using the MoPhoK to control a TETRA.
Oh boy....

Here's a pretty incredible-sounding Mopho video:



s**t interface, though.

Cool sounds in that classical bit!

the MOPHO sounds GOOD.

i dont have the keyboard version.

i'm not a reference but i would say it sounds analog modern \ vintage .
. i used to drive it trough a moogerfooger lowpass , that way it sounded deligthfully vintage and moogy. but now i have a voyager so i use the mopho for its own caracter.
it can be raw and grainy . . very good for tastefull brassy sounds.
i use it for melodic parts mainly and for bass.

for youre type of music the EVOLVER could be appropriate.

I don't have a Mopho but I have a Tetra which is a four-voice synth with the same voice architecture as the original Mopho...it sounds really good! Sometimes it sounds modern, sometimes vintage.

I also run it through a Waldorf 4pole (ladder filter-Moog style) which transforms it into something very vintage sounding (better for mono sounds in my opinion)...but the CEM filter found in the Mopho/Tetra is also very nice!...I'd describe it as lighter than the Waldorf with less bass frequencies but with a more crystal clear sound character which I love (and is ideal for poly sounds actually!)
