$1,100 · DSI Mopho SE

Dave Smith Instruments Mopho SE builds upon the same award-winning analog, subtractive synth voice architecture of the Mopho and packages it in an ideally sized, three-and-a-half-octave, portable package. The Mopho SE voice is composed of two analog 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! • 100% analog signal path • Two oscillators capable of producing sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle, and variable pulse width square waves, with hard sync • Two sub-octave generators (one octave below oscillator 1 and two octaves below oscillator 2) • One classic Curtis low-pass filter (switchable 2- or 4-pole) with audio rate modulation, self-oscillating in 4-pole mode • Analog VCA • Three envelope generators (ADSR plus delay) • Feedback loop with programmable level and gain • White noise generator • 4 LFOs • Gated 16 x 4 step sequencer (one sequence per program) • Arpeggiator • Glide (portamento): separate rates per oscillator • Full-sized, 44-note (F to C), semi-weighted keyboard action with velocity and aftertouch • Full-sized modulation wheel and spring-loaded pitch wheel • Fully programmable with 3 banks of 128 user programs (384 total) • Poly Chain up to three Tetras with Mopho SE to create a 13 voice analog super synth!
