Dave Smith Mopho

Analog module (2008)

"Compact and affordable monophonic analog synthesizer. The voice architecture is similar to a single voice of the Prophet ’08 - also a mopho keyboard version "

Overview

OVERVIEW Extra bright orange and yellow monophonic module (made out of solid metal) with few knobs in the centre a basic LCD , and above some buttons for sound bank selection. You cannot control a lot of parameters from panel, but that's enough for real time performance, otherwise external programmer is recommanded.

TERMINAL CONNECTORS:
-MIDI In, Out/Thru, and Poly Chain
-Audio input: 1/4″ unbalanced
-Left and Right audio outputs: 1/4″ unbalanced
-Headphone output: 1/4″ stereo phone jack

Structure

OSCILLATOR 2 oscillators with drift option, which offer these shapes: saw, triangle, saw-triangle mix and square with pulse width modulation.
Each oscillator features a sub oscillator for extra punch: first sub one is one octave below its fundamental, second one reaches two octaves below. Also a white noise generator circuit and an handy 4 tracks sequencer with 16 steps for both notes and modulation (e,g cutoff)

FILTER a classic Curtis low-pass filterCEM, switchable 2 / 4-pole with audio rate modulation, self-oscillating only in 4-pole mode (-24 dB)

LFO up to 4 LFO (sawtooth, reverse, square and triangle) can be set in free-flown mode or synched to external MIDI clock with various divider rates from 32 to 1/16th. The modulators have a matrix modulation with 22 sources and 50 destinations.
