Axel F - on the MoPho

YouTube via syntesen. sent my way via fischek.
"I recently got the Dave Smith Instruments MoPho real analog, monophonic synthesizer (serial #281), and while I'm already putting it to good use in my own music, I decided to make a demo of a well-known song to show how powerful, this very affordable analog synthesizer is.

I chose the Beverly Hills Cop theme music by Harold Faltermeyer, because it's based around synthesizers and really demonstrates the range of sounds from the MoPho - from fat, powerful basses to searing leads.

All of the sounds in this demo except for the sampled drums and a single DX-7 piano sound are from the MoPho, programmed by myself. Except for the drums and bass, all of the parts are hand-played without correction.

In my opinion, the MoPho is probably the best sounding synthesizer that's affordable for most people on the market right now. It's warm, thick but even deadly aggressive if you want it to. It even has 4 16-step sequencers ;)

All in all, I hope you like the demo - if not for the music, then because of the sounds! Remember, the MoPho is a $299 instrument ;)"

Update: It's more like $399 in the US. Not sure where he found that price.
