DSI Mopho audio demo

This post is a bit of another cheat in that the DSI Mopho I’m demoing isn’t actually mine.  My friend James bought it recently and it’s been at my studio for the last couple of weeks.  
Even though I’ve had it for a while I’ve only really gotten around to using it today.  Kong and I have been insanely busy on a series of remixes over the last few weeks.  
So, you’d think that having an extra synth in the arsenal over this period would be handy, right?  Well, when it comes to the crunch and the deadlines are ticking, I’ve found that I’ve been going to my well-known synths like the Little Phatty and Virus Snow.  In those creative moments, it seems as though I always have my go-to tools that I reach for, rather than trying to learn a new instrument and gauge what it offers sonically.  

Anyway, today I got into it and the thing is really damn impressive.  I’ve recorded a short demo so I’m going to basically let the Mopho speak for itself rather than review it’s features.  After all, I’ve got remixes to do…

Oh, one other thing to mention though, is that obviously DSI has just brought out the Tetr4, which is essentially 4 Mophos in one box, for not much higher a price.  Well I say “ho-hum” to this.  The Mopho simply WORKS.  There’s really a lot to be said for mono-synths, and I think the Mopho is perfect in what it is.  So I think, my friend James shouldn’t be throwing his Mopho out the window to get a Tetr4 anytime soon.  As to whether I will pick one of these up myself, while I think it does offer a different sound to the Little Phatty (mmmm, curtis chip…), I don’t think the features justify the expense given what’s already in my arsenal.  But hey, the Mopho rocks!

Audio Demo - everything except the kick drum is from the DSI Mopho:

p.s. doesn’t the quality of the pic look better than usual?  We also picked up a Canon 450D camera recently too.  It takes stunning photos…
