DSI Mopho Keyboard Unboxing
Please leave any questions for the review below and we’ll try and address them in the full review. Arrived literally an hour ago, the Dave Smith Mopho Keyboard adds more control to the single voice analog synth. It shares the same architecture as the Tetra and the Mopho module. Please comment

@abucket888 Piano voice?……
Damn that thing loves the business. Sounds it too
@archebeats and Dave Smith webpage puts a diagram and everything seems the same, tho’ the specs list is not as fully as the keyboard, the reason i’m asking this stuff is that I planning to get 2 Mopho Boxes to get more sounds and voices thant getting one with a keyboard.
Thank’s a lot for the reviews, and hope you can help me!
Two questions. I was thinking on getting the small mopho box and try to extend the knobs with a BCR2000 that I have, could this turn the mopho into this mopho keyboard (in knobs/control matter)?.
And, what’s the difference between the mopho and the mopho keyboard (beside the keyboard and the controll)? Cause I saw the keyboard has tap tempo, and I don’t know if it has more features than the mopho pretty box or if it’s exactly the same, just with more knobs(solved with a BCR2000)
@MathinkysMusiq The Indigo is not true analog although you would never be complaining you would if you bought a digital rom synth.Indigo is virtual analog and plays back more than one snd att a time. The mopho you get one sound.If you are new to synths get the mopho the virus will prob get tuff to progrm 4 a 1st synth. Mophois not entry level, it kicks ass, give yourself time to learn. send email I will send some pics/sounds from my indigo2 .
Hey man im trying to get a new synth to make some trance music, ive been looking at a few, i even watched a few of your videos a few weeks ago, i was thinking about getting the gaia so i watched you video and i went on some forums but they say its not really for trance music. Alot of people told me to look up Access synths and so I did and im thinking about the Access virus indigo 2, people say its good for trance, can you help me out and give me an idea of what i should get? Thankyou.
i really like it. I was at sweetwater a month ago and i was playing with it. I think DSI is trying to give MOOG a run for there money due to affordability cause come on who has a few grand sitting around to buy a New Voyager?
i love it….:) im getting one.:)
can i use this as a midi controller in logic express 9?
Does this keyboard have the PE type pots like on the Prophet 08 PE?
how many voices does the mopho include?
and does it have a run-of-the mill piano voice?
@sonicstate
Thanks for the reply, thats a shame I wanted to see how true this was. especially after what you said on the original Mopho review. I have just sold about four synths so at the moment the Mopho keys is high on my list.
Love your videos, Keep up the good work
JJ
@sonicstate
thnx
@mettez 13-15v 400mA
@forthazel Well they are dedicated to the Mopho whereas a MIDI controller would not have the same layout, some pots have higher resolution due to them being Rotary encoders
@thesystemite software is still a little clunky and no it doesnt integrate with the DAW in the same way as say the Virus
@schmember 1) I dont know,
2) make me an offer
3) Sound is good, waves are quite bright, but they can filter down nicely.
@ollie6333 Unfortunately, there are 300 of those and I cannot fit that in.
@JJukstratfan Sorry, dont have one cant really compare.
@Noizedrive Yes, env 3 can be routed to either osc or both. Saw, TRI, SAW/TRI and SQUARE with PW mod
@MrSmallcorner both, some are pots, some are rotaries – particularly the ones with wide range.
@PasDNomCTout totally different machines. GAIA is a polysynth with three discrete synthesizers build in (so you can layer up three sounds) and is a VA – as in digital.
Mopho is mono synth analog.
@dadruben Yep, coarse and fine tune no problem
can you de-tune the oscillators?
Roland Gaia-Sh01 or DSI Mopho? What’s best?
