"Mopho Keyboard Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

The Mopho Keyboard is an affordable, full-featured mono synth with a 100% analog audio path. Mopho features 32 full-sized, semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch in a package about the same size as most 25-note controller keyboards. Choose from 384 preset sounds or craft your own with 25 soft-touch knobs and 20 switches.

Mopho features 2 oscillators, 2 sub-octave generators, a classic Curtis low-pass filter (2- or 4-pole), 3 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR plus delay), 4 LFOs, and real analog VCAs. Other features include an arpeggiator, a gated 16 x 4 step sequencer (1 sequence per program), feedback, the ability to process external audio, and an extensive modulation matrix. Tap tempo to beat match or sync the arpeggiator, sequencer, and LFOs to MIDI clock.

Integrate and automate the Mopho Keyboard with your computer and other hardware via standard MIDI jacks or with a direct USB connection. For a ridiculously compact analog poly synth, use the Poly Chain output along with a DSI Tetra to expand Mopho's polyphony.
The Mopho Keyboard delivers the renowned DSI sound in an ultra-portable, feature-rich performance synth.

Features:
· Excellent "bang for the buck": full-featured analog synth at a great price
· Real analog sound
· Immediate, hands-on control of all aspects of the sound and performance
· Extremely compact, but with full-sized keys and wheels
· Couple with DSI Tetra for expanded polyphony
Specs:
Dimensions/Weight-Box: 7.875” x 25.5” x 15.375/13” – 13 lbs (Product inside box)

Gathering dreams (Plogue Bidule + 2 Behringer BSY600 + Audacity)

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan — May 04, 2010 — "Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made with Plogue Bidule sequencing a Behringer Bass Synthesizer BSY600. Another Behringer Bass Synthesizer BSY600 is played by hand. The sounds of these 2 Behringer Bass Synthesizer BSY600 has been reintroducted into Plogue Bidule in order to permit to a long delay to be added. The all thing has been made in one take and has been a bit edited with Audacity (compression, short stereo delay and pitch downshifting added). Enjoy !"

Nord Micro Modular Synthesiser

via this auction

"The innovative and flexible architecture of the Nord Modular allows for extensive sound sculpturing. How about a 5-oscillator-per-note synthesizer with 5 LFO’s, two resonant 24 dB/oct low-pass filters with separate envelopes or maybe a fat string sound with 14 oscillators – in stereo. Move your body to a mega fat bass sequence built up with 4 oscillators and a distorted classic analog lowpass filter in combination with a note sequencer module. Or, why not a classic 6 operator FM patch for that “electric” piano sound or a 24 sine wave oscillator patch for additive synthesis.

After you've created a patch using the software you can load it into one of 99 memories within the controller. It can then be used live or in a MIDI studio as a synth module. The simplified controller has a volume knob and 3 other knobs that can be assigned editable parameters. Limited as this might appear, you still get one of the biggest and most powerful modular synthesizer emulator programs in the world. The Micro Modular System is a fraction the cost of the Nord Modular and would be a powerful complement to any serious musicians arsenal.

All your patches can be stored in the Nord Modular synthesizer and recalled later on – also without a computer connected! Stereo analog inputs open up for extensive sound processing possibilities. 16-band vocoding, anyone? Nord Modular has it all. Your imagination is only the beginning...
Running Software 3.0, works perfect but there are some small minor scratches to the synth - purely cosmetic."

Two videos in the auction. Both previously posted, but worth posting again.

Nord Micro Modular

YouTube via Denkitribe — January 08, 2007 — "Nord Micro Modular + Behringer DD100 (Digital Delay)

The Nord Micro Modular is "a somewhat stripped down version of the massive Nord Modular system" (from Vintage Synth Explorer). Clavia has discontinued this product several years ago, and never released a similar product. Thus this red small box has been a very unique product so far.

I love this synth too, but there is only one complaint -- Give me more knobs!!

A simple Demonstration of :

2 OSCs 32.16.8.4.2 and variations
3 OSCs 32.16.8.4.2 and variations
Tremolo Signals
A lil bit of Detuned OSCs
And a lil bit of Unison with tremolo | vibrato

Description :
Electric musical synthesizer Aelita (Murom plant RIP). This monophonic synthesizer with 3 oscillators is a modern musical instrument. If a player uses different musical effects (for example three-part unison, timbral glissando, frequency vibrato, timbre tremolo, decay, attack, strings.) a composition would sound in a new fashion.
Sounding may be changed during the playing as well as timbre: special controls are provided for it.
There is a possibility to record sounding on a tape during playing composition. This instrument can be successfully used in a variety ensembles.
The elegent package made out of aluminium alloy and is covered with artificial leather. It is well protected by the light and firm case.
