REVIEW
The Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Desktop Synthesiser Module is a compact and affordable but powerful monophonic analog synth.

The voice architecture is identical to the single voice of the Prophet '08, but with a couple of unique twists to distinguish it from its award-winning sibling. They've have added 2 sub-octave generators, one per oscillator, for additional girth and crushing basses. It also has an audio input that lets you process external audio and mix Mopho's own audio output back in pre-filter for feedback effects that can range from subtle distortion to extreme skronk.

The push it button is a manual trigger that lets you play a specific note or latch notes and sequences on. It can also step through a sequence to play short melodic lines without a keyboard. Of course, the Mopho can also be used with a MIDI controller or external sequencer.

The Mopho is fully programmable and all the parameters can be tweaked from the front panel. The 4 assignable parameters controls are assignable per program for optimum performance control. A free editor is available for Mac OS and Windows to facilitate programming. (If you already have a Prophet '08, most of the Mopho's parameters can be controlled from the Prophet's front panel via MIDI).

The Mopho is perfect for people who want to learn the inputs and outputs of real analog synthesis without spending a bundle, DJs looking to add some old school sonic spice to their setups and musicians who will appreciate a great-sounding, very portable mono synth.
