Five tracks of MoPho - a dogmatic minimal house track

[a303romance]

as a person who makes electronic music i can affirm that the parameters this person set up were very restricting. as a person who wants to get a MoPho, i say 'thanks for convincing me to buy something i already wanted to." thumb up good tune.

[Theotim92]

briliant !

[striderkyo]

This rocked, I'd love to see more of this sort of thing.

[ajenjonst]

cool, i really enjoy each time i find something a bach's synthesizer

[KnownAzTAF]

Very nice track 5/5...Now i want a Mopho too...Keep doin it:)Peace

[thebenallen]

Would love a higher quality version of this. Seriously this track convinced me to get this synth for sure. Great work

[cartesiaLive]

I have my tetra now :D Doing stuff like this is really fun - I have an MBase01 for kick + the 4 synth parts + sp404 for random samples and effects... people tend to go overboard when buying hardware.. I say, make use of what you've got!

[aciduss]

This is the only good material made with Mopho on youtube... nice music man, you own every other mopho demo around.

[ZacharyFreud]

HQ MP3/OGG  Download plz!!!!

[diemidimonsterdie]

Impressive. My next purchase I think. Thanks for the video. Dave should surely have this posted on his site.

[donfrolic]

Great track!!! Almost like composing on the C64 ... 3 voices (1 vco + 1 envelope each) + 1 combined filter ... Vibrato and Portamento if your software provides it. You should give it a try - it's great frunstration and it sounds good too :)

[mynmyself]

I hope Mr Dave Smith have seen this amazing piece of magic

purely mental!

[kain38]

wow... ok did you use the compute to create the sequence or you do that from the unit itself? are the patchs all made from the front panel or did you use the software for that? good work for sure. great way to show this thing off.

hoping to get mine soon myself so i been just checking out vids lol

[DEEJAYSHAK]

Fantastic !!!

Are you using a midi controller with knobs ??? =P

[pirahna1]

Amazing. Is there any way to hear a higher quality rip?

[MrGratefulheart]

Great job! Great idea also... Forgive my ignorance, did you record this into a DAW ? Was it recorded in real time? Thanks, B

[monchichikun]

I hope you do more of these with a video of you tweaking the mopho for each layered track. this is truly inspirational

[cipulis78]

ja jaaaaa

[noggin2012]

This is by far the best Dave Smith Mopho demo out there. Seriously well done. I would love to see what you can do with this synth in a multitrack DAW environment... Any chance you can dump your patches for us :D :D :D

[wc80ify]

How did you get those snappy snares? I like mine a lot but have trouble getting good snares like this.

[AFColonel73]

uberphat-the colonel, limitation for the sake of inspiration

[Dagge2143]

How did you manage to record this, I mean since the Mopho seem to be "monotimbral"!? Would like to see the rest of u'r secrets since it sounds really nice... ;p

[cartesiaLive]

one track at a time :P

[PHAEDRIDER]

this came out great you ought to call it "carpal tunnel syndrome" that had to be a ton of work...

[ajdevlin]

Thoroughly enjoyed. It's funny watching this in comparison to gear videos with an entire wall of boutique synths but no actual music. I haven't heard a track comprised of one piece of gear sound this good in awhile. Thanks for sharing.

[FLASHROYAL3000]

great idea and well done :) will give the TETR4 a try.

[stormcrow70]

very cool,

I know what you mean sometimes you just got to trim the fat

awsome track

[traumfabrik]

I'v order mine yesterday

[erzx98]

Excellent Demo! Thankfully DSI now sells four Mophos in one box so you don't need to do any multitracking, I'm ordering a Tetra soon...

[JacquesNessMonster]

Awesome job, it all sounds excellent but it seems like this is the perfect kick drum synth...

[unkellsam]

Pretty skilled, you make the monophonic Mopho sound like a workstation!

[pianist007]

This is brilliant ! Does the MoPhot have a micro tuning feature ? in 1:35 I noticed that the Bach fuge motive has the G note sounding a bit sharper than it should.

[syntesen]

The sequencer has several tuning options for every note, yes. :) So it's, sort of, basic microtuning.

[lartti83]

great job man!

[bobthebug]

great stuff. DSI owe you a free prophet!

[blitzdj86]

limitation breeds creativity. . Why I think that having 1 piece of gear is better than an infinite library of choice (a'la software)

The fact that you actually learnt to push your gear shows.. good job

[zzmook]

This was the final straw. Mopho now on order. You rock.

[ColaberMilk]

This is the reason I WANT TO BUY one

[DeRex9]

What a different fantastic new approach to make electronic music. Great job !! :)

[ElektroNoiser]

Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

[mjw555]

Very nice work.

[thefirstonetodie]

This MOPHO is a little MOFO!!!

Great tune man!!

[GroovyGuitar02]

yeah : fat beats'n'basses . my head is moving on' , that means you suceeded into making GOOD music .

[GroovyGuitar02]

aaah ! i like these sounds & grooves .

[stanbekker]

the melody starting at 0:47 is soooo nice!!

[cthulufunk]

Best Mopho demos by far.

[network909]

really cool!

[bmfitt]

congratulations for your knowledge!

I got a mopho but I just use it controlled from my sequencer.

You didnt use multitrack recording for this track?

really good.

[PHAEDRIDER]

right ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'd completely fail at this challenge, the mopho is my first midi able , sequenceable , mono synth.(actually my first NON-vintage synth as well) . this came out bitchen ! thanks for keeping me interesteed !

[puresynthpop]

i just got my mopho from analoghaven in ca. this is inspiring. thanks.

[787Bisurdaddy]

This is still the best demo of a Mopho I've come across. Does a great job at showing off the sounds without just being a boring preset/knob tweak demo. And it's a pretty sweet track as well.

[kipptumor]

That's a lot of action from that little unit. I've got his Evolver mono box - it' pretty cool. The sequencer is kind of hairy to run with that knob matrix but the sounds are unique.

[longcat]

lovely, setting limits on creativity can often give you more freedom and this is a good example...

that mopho sounds fantastic...

thankyou x

[787Bisurdaddy]

Awesome sound. I have an Evolver but I still want a Mopho. I really like the way you did this track.

I find myself balking when I have too many options. You make me want to do a track like this with my Evolver.

I think the thing I like the most about this are the percussion-type sounds. Gotta love analog drums (especially when they sound this GOOD!).

[skyskraberen]

This is excellent! Sometimes you get the best results by setting yourself some limitations. And what a great way of getting to know your instrument as well.

[Enkonto]

great!

[yogassflame]

awesome results!

do the drums fit in just one seq track? or you have to separate them on individual tracks?

[syntesen]

Mostly, they were on one track. Basically, i'd have sequencer 1 run the oscillator mix (osc1 being a sine for the kick, osc2 being inactive), sequencer 2 controlling the filter, and sequencer 3 the noise amplitude for hats/snare :)

[yogassflame]

you're smart!

[Rasmussen27]

Nice one! Recently got mine and love it.

[aldymachine]

nice one, I'm impressed by the versatility of such a small synth, packs a punch keep it up

[Collaborator]

Good job getting those sounds out of the Mopho.

[tatagram]

I'm impresed. Carry on. Cheers!

[DoctorPalador]

Great Job...Excellent Achievement!! I am anxiously awaiting my Mopho right now!!!

[anderspaddehat]

Great idea, and great result!

Enjoyed it
