Saturday Synth Porn: Dave Smith Instruments upcoming Mopho Keyboard some some action recently on the Little Boots tour:
The Mopho Keyboard appeared onstage with Little Boots at San Francisco’s famed Fillmore Auditorium on March 9, 2010. Prototype #4 performed admirably (and loudly!), aided and abetted by keyboardist Christopher Kemsley, whose day-to-day touring rig prominently features a Prophet ’08. Thanks to Vic (Little Boots), Lauren, Ben, Chris, Henry, Elspeth, Ash, and the rest of the crew.
Yeah – we know the Mopho Keyboard is still vaporware – but Dave Smith has been delivering fantastic synths for over 30 years, and from what we’ve seen, the Mopho Keyboard is going to carry on this tradition.
the mopho "rack" version has a really great sound and has an affordable price tag.
i have played it in a store. what i did not like was the programming of new sounds. this is a very hard job, because you're skipping menus on and on. I dont know about the mopho editor, but i want a hardware synth to be hardware and dont know why i should buy hardware and make sounds via a computer.
but it looks like the mopho keyboard has got some more knobs and buttons. This will hopefully allow you to programm a sound much faster and i like the idea.
Why would you even buy a mopho keyboard when it's practically fate that a tetra keyboard will come out on its heels?

The Tetra KB will probably cost $12-15 hundred. Plus some people just simply love a monosynth.
I'd get one if it had a 'mix in' like the evolver rack for connecting the tetra – but alas it's extremely unlikely that it will. Polychaining isn't properly implemented on anything dsi make except the poly evolver.
