Dave Smith Instruments Mopho x4

Compact 4-voice polyphonic analogue keyboard synthesizer that builds upon the same award winning voice architecture of the Mopho and Mopho Keyboard, boasting huge sound and 4 voice polyphony in an ideally sized, portable, and elegantly designed package. It can be used to create huge unison basses, creamy leads, percolating sequences, and ethereal pads. Each of unit’s four voices is composed of two analogue oscillators, two sub octave generators, selectable 2- or 4-pole famed Curtis low-pass filter, three 5-stage envelope generators, four LFOs, a re-latchable arpeggiator, and a 16 x 4 step sequencer. Its voice also comes packed with 20 modulation sources and almost 50 destinations. The filter can be FMed to create metallic bell-like sounds and the feedback path can be used to add subtle or destructive harmonic content to the sound. The synthesizer’s 100% analogue signal path is powerful, monstrous, and sonically dynamic. Every parameter is fully programmable and editable from the front panel. The controls are logically laid out, lending themselves to quick access so user can tweak knobs without missing a beat. The full sized 44-note semi-weighted keyboard has aftertouch and velocity sensitivity. The sturdy full sized pitch and mod wheels are freely assignable and sport smooth reliable action. The synthesizer’s polyphony can be expanded by using its Poly Chain port. Mopho, Tetra, and Prophet ’08 (all Dave Smith Instruments) can be connected to the unit to increase its voice count. User can also poly-chain up to three Tetras with the unit to create a 16 voice analogue super synth. Designed and manufactured in San Francisco, the synthesizer has the high quality sound and build for which DSI is renowned. Dimensions: 640 x 282 x 91 mm. Weight: 6.1 kg.
