Dave Smith Instruments

The Prophet Rev2 from Dave Smith Instruments is a reenvisioning of the Prophet ’08 poly synth that  retains and expands upon all of the main features of the original. It has the same polyphony - 8 voices, as well as twice the mod matrix.Also included is waveshape modulation on all waveforms and digital effects per layer in split or stacked voice mode including delays (bucket-brigade and standard), reverb, distortion, phase shift, chorus, and ring modulation.The Desktop module version is for those looking to save a bit of space in their studio. It contains all the features of the keyboard version minus the actual keyboard. The polyphonic step sequencer allows one to sequence up to 6 notes per step for a length of 64 steps. Different sequences can be used for each layer when working in split or stacked voice mode, aiding in composition or performance.Features:Desktop Module Version2 DCOs per voiceAnalog VCAsMulti-slope VCF3 envelope generators4 LFOs8-Voice PolyphonyWaveshape ModulationPoly Step SequencingProgrammable arpeggiator512 Factory Programs (4 banks of 128) and 512 fully editable User Programs with 2 layers (2 separate sounds) in each ProgramSpecifications:4x Line outputs: 6.3 mm jack unbalanced (A / BL / R stereo)MIDI in/out/thruSustain pedal inputPedal/CV input - for expression pedal or CV of 0-5 V DCUSBHeadphone output 6.3 mm stereo jack 

The Pro 2 is a fusion of classic analog synthesizer design and cutting-edge digital technology. It boasts four high-resolution digital oscillators, plus a sub oscillator. The oscillators produce both classic and complex wave shapes and can frequency and amplitude modulate each other in any operator and modulator configurations you choose for harmonically-rich FM and AM sounds. A set of Character controls adds high and low frequency boost, bit and sample rate reduction, and tape saturation emulation to the Pro 2′s sonic palette.Features:Four DSP-based oscillators plus one sine wave sub oscillator. Four classic wave shapes (saw, square, triangle, sine) per oscillator. Twelve selectable complex shapes per oscillator. Thirteen Superwaves. Three noise types per oscillator: white, pink, violet. Shape modulation/pulse width/superwave detune amount. Oscillator cross modulation: frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM). Hard sync, individual Glide, Oscillator Slop. True 4-voice paraphonic mode with individually-gated envelopes per oscillator. Five high-quality digital effects. Thicken the signal and add harmonics or completely destroy the signal pre-filter.. Dual analog filters operate in serial or parallel. Tuned feedback. Five Delay + ADSR envelopes (Filter 1, Filter 2, VCA , and two Auxiliary envelopes). Four syncable LFOs with phase offset and slew per LFO. 16 x 2 modulation matrix with over 50 mod sources and over 140 mod destinations. Four 1-volt-per-octave control voltage inputs and outputs for interfacing with modular synths and other CV-compatible devices.

Tetra takes the award-winning sound and features of Mopho, multiplies them by four, and packs them in a box less than half an inch larger!Tetra has multiple personalities. It is a four-voice, analog poly synth, a sort of “mini Prophet.” It's a four-part, multitimbral synth with separate outputs, essentially four Mophos in one very compact box. And it’s a voice expander for other Tetras or the Prophet ’08.Affordable, fully programmable poly synth with a 100% analog signal path.Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filter.Four-part multitimbral capability with four separate outputs.Combo Mode for huge unison patches, stacked sequences, and "modular-style" poly sounds.Expandable: poly chain with other Tetras, Prophet '08, and Mopho for expanded polyphonyJust 7.9" x 5" (20.07 cm x 12.7 cm).Free editor for Mac OS and Windows.

The Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 Pot Edition Eight-Voice Analog Synthesizer offers an alternative with 38 of the 52 front panel parameters controlled by pots (potentiometers); rotary encoders are still used for the remainder of the controls.The Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 Pot Edition is exactly the same as the non-pot version. The difference is strictly in the controls themselves. Encoders are “endless”—they have no minimum or maximum limit. The advantage to that is that when you edit a preset parameter, the change begins at the preset value and increases or decreases, depending upon the direction turned.Pots typically have about 270° of travel and have definite limits. The advantage to that is that you know, by feel, where the minimum and maximum limits are and you can sweep through the entire value range in less than one full turn.The Prophet Ά08 PE features three edit modes for the pots: Relative, Passthru, and Jump. In Relative mode, the value change is relative to the preset value. In Passthru mode, turning the pot has no effect until after the edited value equals the preset value (that is, until the edited value “passes through” the stored value). Jump mode uses an absolute value based upon the position of the pot when edited; turn a pot and the value jumps immediately from the stored value to the edited value.The Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 Pot Edition Main Features Include: 38 of the 52 front panel parameters controlled by pots Encoders are “endless”—they have no minimum or maximum limit Three edit modes for the pots: Relative, Passthru, and Jump Pots typically have about 270° of travel and have definite limits Two analog oscillators per voice Classic Curtis analog low-pass filters Extensive modulation routing capabilities Four-on-four splits and layers with separate stereo outputs for each layer Arpeggiator, gated 16 x 4 step sequencer, and LFOs all syncable 5-octave keyboard with semi-weighted action, velocity, and aftertouch Spring-loaded pitch wheel and assignable mod wheel 256 fully editable Programs (2 banks of 128) with 2 Layers (2 separate sounds) in each Program 16 x 4 gated step sequencer Arpeggiator 2 digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) per voice with selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves (with pulse-width modulation), and hard sync White noise generator 1 Analog Curtis low-pass filter per voice, selectable 2- and 4-pole operation (self-resonating in 4-pole mode) 3 Envelope Generators: filter, VCA, and assignable (four-stage ADSR + delay); Envelope 3 can loop 4 LFOs Glide (portamento): separate rates per oscillator Analog VCAs MIDI In, Out, Thru, and Poly Chain Main stereo audio output: 1/4" unbalanced Output B stereo audio output: 1/4" unbalanced Sustain pedal input: accepts normally on or normally off momentary footswitch Pedal/CV input: responds to expression pedals or control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 VDC (protected against higher or negative voltages) Headphone output: 1/4" stereo phone jack Includes power supply for 110V – 240V AC operation (13-15 VDC, 400 mA) and operation manual.

The voice architecture of the Dave Smith Instruments Mopho is identical to a single voice of the Prophet '08, but with a couple of unique twists to distinguish it from its award-winning sibling.Dave Smith Instruments have added two 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, Mopho can also be used with a MIDI controller or external sequencer.Mopho is fully programmable and all the parameters can be tweaked from the front panel. The four Assignable Parameters controls are assignable per program for optimum performance control. A free editor is available for Mac OS and Windows to facilitate programming. (And, if you already have a Prophet '08, most of Mopho's parameters can be controlled from the Prophet's front panel via MIDI!)Mopho is perfect for people who want to learn the ins and outs 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. Dave Smith Instruments Mopho main features include: Affordable, fully programmable mono synth with a 100% analog signal path.

The Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 Module is an eight-voice tabletop "knobby" module with all of the features and controls of the Prophet '08 Keyboard (minus the keyboard, of course) in an even more compact enclosure, with a 100% analog signal path.With real analog oscillators, famed Curtis low-pass filters, and analog VCAs, the Prophet '08 Module is capable of reproducing the familiar sounds of its legendary predecessors. But modern features like a greatly expanded modulation matrix and additional modulation sources—like three envelopes and four LFOs per voice—take it way beyond the vintage gear and make this a worthy and unique addition to the Prophet family tree.Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 Synthesizer Module features include a gated 16 x 4 step sequencer, arpeggiator, split or stacked key modes with separate stereo outputs per layer, and rack ears for optional rack-mounting. The Prophet '08 module can also be used as an expander to increase the polyphony of another Prophet '08—keyboard or module—to 16 voices.Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 Module main features include: The only affordable, full-featured polysynth with a 100% analog signal path Classic, real analog sound—including legendary Curtis analog low-pass filters—married to a modern feature set Small footprint, huge sound 4U Rack mountable Tons of knobs for direct, real-time editing and performance Used as an expander, increases polyphony of another Prophet '08 to 16 voices Two digitally controlled analog oscillators per voice Classic Curtis analog low-pass filters Extensive modulation routing capabilities Four-on-four splits and layers with separate stereo outputs for each layer Arpeggiator, gated 16 x 4 step sequencer, and LFOs all syncable 2 digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) per voice with selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves (with pulse-width modulation), and hard sync White noise generator 1 Analog Curtis low-pass filter per voice, selectable 2- and 4-pole operation (self-resonating in 4-pole mode) 3 Envelope Generators: filter, VCA, and assignable (four-stage ADSR + delay); Envelope 3 can loop 4 LFOs Glide (portamento): separate rates per oscillator Analog VCAs MIDI In, Out, Thru, and Poly Chain Main stereo audio output: 1/4" unbalanced Output B stereo audio output: 1/4" unbalanced Sustain pedal input: accepts normally on or normally off momentary footswitch Pedal/CV input: responds to expression pedals or control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 VDC (protected against higher or negative voltages) Headphone output: 1/4" stereo phone jack Includes power supply for 110V – 240V AC operation (13-15 VDC, 400 mA) and operation manual.
