Vince Clarke just said he really likes the Mopho's sound a lot. And he said the Slim Phatty doesn't sound analog to him at all. And who else would have a good ear for analog equipment but a guy who's played them all?
@mpresev We shot a video with the DSI MoPho doing kicks (we never attempted snares though). You can judge for yourself how good the kicks were in our video. Just search for DSI MoPho Kicks. Our video will show up on top.
@nutrinoland We were showing the presets in the MoPho. That is all. If we had changed the patterns during this video, the difference in sounds would not have been as apparent.
I own a Micron as well and like it a lot. Now i want an analog synth. I'm gonna buy the keyboard version though, because if there is one thing i hate about the Micron it's the lack of hands-on controls...
i was going to get evolver, but i think now im going to get this instead. all i ever wanted was pure analog, but with modern stability, i think ive found it :)
I have the micron and while I will say it is really good, nothing beats true analogue. That having been said, it all depends on what you want. Do you want polyphony and a built in keyboard? If yes have you checked out the Novation X Station? I know it costs a bit more than the Micron but it has an audio interface and more readily controllable parameters.
I own a Micron and struggle to get any good sounds out of that thing. Every once and a while it surprises me, but most of the sounds coming out of that thing sound fake to my ears.
why does everyone jump on him for sayin it sounds like every other analog mono synth that has the same specs. 2 osc + vcf + vca. they are so simple they are going to sound the same its a fact. obviously there are reasons why this is not a moog. filters for example are patented on the moog so actually it will never be a moog. but why everyone jumps on someone who is making a serious point who knows their stuff is a mystery. just let it go.
hey, so you have the evolver, do you mean mono? anyway I'm sure they're comparable,
I'm looking at the mopho, sound wise does it stand up to the evolver module? I would assume the evolver is generally better since it's bigger and the price tag too but if the mopho takes aspects from he prophet, I dont' want to asssume I can compare quality to the evolver, give me your opinions! cause I'm going for the mopho if they're very different. if it's JUST quality diferences I might go a step further
in my opinion, it DOES stand up to the evolver, but it's a different more warmer and cleaner sound. Maybe its cause theres no delay circuits in the chain and also no digital trashy oscillators like the evolver., which are entirely a matter of taste ( i do a lot of idents, soundtrack stuff etc, and the evolver doesnt get as much mileage as it used to now).
Quality wise..again in my opinion, they seem to be better built and more sturdier than the evolver . Theyre also cheaper too! :-D
that's the impression I got. it seems warmer and a bit different. I have a Korg M3 and almost ever preset is just not what I want to get from my sounds. too digital and weird, not enough pure substance. everything on this video on the other hand, definitely is! your comment made my mind up, I really don't care about the price or the smallness. it's portable and cheap, looks like it has proper quality to it! though is it made of plastic?.....
nope, its solid as a rock. Although the evolver was and is no slouch, this thing seems to be hewn from granite. The small form factor coupled with the delcious out of the box sounds mean ive used it in about 20 tracks already :-D
What im gonna do is throw some of the sequenced patches- bad pitch settings etc- out and program my own using the evolver editor, which is free and a doddle to use.
The best bang for the buck going right now, it really is.
Are the presets diffrent on the mopho keyboard? As I dont appear to have half of these... !

Is there some way to run a guitar through this? Would I just run a quarter inch cable into the Audio In from my guitar set up?
OR could I run a MIDI cable to the MIDI IN from a signal processor? (like a TC Electronic or an Eventide)
OR do I need some kind of MIDI converter, like a Roland or an Axon?
Thanks!

Actually the Mopho is much more interesting than the moog and costs 10 times less xD

The Alesis Micron is around the same price range as the Mopho. Which would you prefer?

None of the sounds seem to be unique, if anything its the same old "moogish" sounds over and over again.. i for 1 starting to get board!

Depends on opinion, but I think the mopho is better simply due to the fact it's 100% analog as opposed to the Evolver which is only 50%.
