Yes!!! I was actually rooting for yellow. :) No word on if there will be a black version.I am so getting one of these. I can't wait. I played with one at NAMM and loved it.

Remember the poll? Black slightly edged out, but yellow definitely had support. I wonder what leaned Dave Smith to yellow.
Update:
"The voice architecture and general specs are the same as the Mopho desktop module. Enhancements include programmable feedback gain, additional arpeggiator modes, and the ability to set the slew rate separately for individual sequence steps. (Yes, the latter two features will eventually find their way into the other products in the Mopho/Tetra/Prophet family.) It features a semi-weighted keyboard action with velocity and aftertouch. And it has great feeling, two-shot, soft-touch knobs.
The eagle-eyed among you may find it odd that a monophonic synth has a unison on/off parameter. When paired with a Tetra, Mopho Keyboard makes a very compact, very powerful five-voice poly synth!"
Forget the color, I wonder if I buy one, will the encoders function properly after 2 years. Nothing I've purchased in the last 5 years has solid functioning encoders. I'm SICK of the cheap crap, and don't care how good it sounds. Is it just me, or can I get a hell ya!
ReplyDeleteHell ya! Synths should last.
ReplyDeleteHell ya! I'm kinda dissapointed they didn't edge in a few more knobs, its not far enough advanced a user interface from a Mopho or Tetra module. Maybe an easily accesible arpeggiator (as opposed to going thru a submenu)? and dedicated knobs for OSC key. I've heard there won't be a black version, they want the Yellow so its easy to see on stage (smart marketing i suppose, like the ridiculously shiny red Nords).
ReplyDeleteThe lay out is impeccable. You can pick it up and play it with out a lot manual reading. The sound is warm and it has a very nice little keyboard to play on. The yellow is a classic yellow, not flashy, and I believe those are pots as well...what's with the haterade?
ReplyDelete...What the hell are misc. mods?
ReplyDeleteOk, ill b th asshole who admits he hates the color. Nothing like playing a big old lump of government cheese with knobs...
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow! It's my favorite color and I think it suits the MoPho well! I just purchased a Minimoog Voyager but now I am tempted to get this lean and mean yellow machine!
ReplyDeleteI was interested in purchasing one of these, but yellow? Asked DSI if the black colored proto style would be available, they responded I could paint it black if I did not like the yellow. Hey, Waldorf offered a dark blue Q keyboard for those of us that did not want the bright flashy yellow one.
ReplyDeleteI'd buy a black one but yellow is a color I seriously dislike.
ReplyDeleteYes, yellow will make it sound worse.
ReplyDeleteMaybe its yellow because the mopho module is yellow? HMMM I'll have to go to my lab and test the theory.
needs to stop re-releasing the same synth and actually make something *new* already.
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't really been anything "new" since, what the Neuron?

ReplyDeleteOh god. So ugly. Mustard yellow with light wood end panels?? ..and all paired up with their funky fresh 90's Mopho logo. It makes me throw up in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteWhen they had the polls I didn't care either way black or yellow but this turned out all wrong.
