NAMM: Dave Smith unveiled a keyboard version of the Mopho, his monophonic analog synthesizer.
The Mopho Keyboard has all the features of the original unit, but adds knobs, switches and a weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. It can be expanded with a Tetra synth to create a 5-voice synth, and the the Mopho acts as a master to the Tetra.
With the Mopho Keyboard, Dave Smith is giving fans exactly what they want – a great sounding, powerful, pint-sized synth.
DSI expects to ship the Mopho Keyboard in a couple of months and it will be around $800.
This is what I wanted Moog to do. A moogerfooger sized synth for under a grand. Leave it to Dave Smith. Its funny how the same innovators are repeating history for new generations in exactly the same way. Mopho Keyboard + Tetra = Prophet 5? Ish? I feel like its 1977 again.
