Whatsup guys? I haven’t really read anything about this synth here for a long time, and I was wondering why… compared to the minilogues and the rev2 the Mopho x4 seems to be kind of a forgotten piece.
I recently got another Mopho x4 after I’d sold my Mopho/Tetra combo some years before. I tried to replace it with a minilogue, and a prologue later, only to finally conclude that even though those synths are far more popular, have a great esthetic, and more voices (in the case of the prologue), they couldn’t replace the sound of the Mopho.
I really fell in love with my x4 again:
-it’s perfectly sized, feels very solid and has a great form factor.
-the modulation options are insane… I think theyre identical to the rev2, and they’re great for such a small synth.
-it’s quite easy and quick to program, even though some functions share controls.
-the sound is very full and powerful (I guess in part because of the sub osc’s and feedback, which the rev2 lacks).
-it’s one of the few synths I’ve ever used which shines both as a mono and a (4 voice) poly: It can do punchy, deep saw basses, but also shines as a Boards of Canada chord machine.
Any love for this synth on this forum?
