Dave Smith Instruments - Tetra

After few weeks without updates due my vacations I'm back with more synth videos. This time with the new synthesizer from David Smith Instruments , Tetra. It's a four voice version of the Mopho and can be used as four monophonic synths or a 4 voice polyphonic synth. Enjoy this great review in two parts created by Thomas White

Dave Smith Instruments "TETRA" Synthesizer Review Pt. 1




Dave Smith Instruments "TETRA" Synthesizer Review Pt. 2



Text from the video :
  • Here is my two part review of the new Tetra Synthesizer by Dave Smith Instruments. This is intended as an overview of the sounds and features of the synthesizer, with a small narrative about the over complex expectations of today's synthesizer enthusiasts that sometimes push the fringe of synthesizer elitists. Treat it like an editorial, take it or leave it. I love this powerful little synthesizer and have had more time to play with it since making this video footage last week. I hope you enjoy the sounds, and at $800 for a 4 voice true analog synth, you can't go wrong. Want more knobs? Use the editor and one of your multiple MIDI controllers.

    Thanks for stopping by! Check out www.davesmithinstruments.com for more information on the Tetra and the other Dave Smith instruments.

Synthesizer Performance - Kipptumor - Din 34

Live performance by Kipptumor. Very good experimental/ambient track perfect for relax and chill out.

Din 34 Live Ambient Composition



Text from the video :
  • All of the MIDI gadgets plus the modular system were pre-"programmed' and I merely faded/mixed the various elements in. Din 34 is the first piece in the Din series that was created this way. the other 33 (that's right - I've got a lot of time to kill) were all created track by track using Acid Music Studio. I had to chop a portion out towards the end so that it would fit on youtube here. The gadgets used were: EMU MoPhat & Xtreme Lead Rack synths, Roland V Synth XT Rack, Future Retro Revolution sequencer/monosynth, Korg Electribe, Synthesizers.com Studio 44 cabinet with analog sequencer, Novation Supernova Rack synth, Alesis Micron, & Dave Smith Evolver. The filtered cigarette is a fine blend of Drum tobacco, Gambler (mostly for filler), and some vanilla pipe tobacco that I roll while I watch PBS and the news.

Dave Smith Instruments - Mopho review

Gearwire.com reviews the Dave Smith Instruments Mopho

Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Demo: It's Insane, This Guy's Bass



Text from the video :
  • Right on the box Dave Smith Instruments spells out that Mopho Synth is short for "Monophonic Synthesizer," but did you know that the remaining letters in the long phrase can be arranged to spell "No Nicer Size?" Hear this portable box in action in this, our first Mopho demo.
    See more on Gearwire.com.

Moog Minimoog David Smith Instruments Prophet 08

Old analog synthesizer vs Modern analog synthesizer... Round 1 .... Fight ;)

Minimoog compared to dsi Prophet 08



Text from the video :
  • A quick and dirty sound off! No, it's not comparing which one is best, because I don't think they are mutually exclusive. I really just want to compare the timbres and envelope operations and to show you some nice clear DCOs and VCOs.

    Personally, I think the Moog is slightly fatter and I like it's filter better, but not by very much at all on both counts.

    FYI, the P08 was running in 'unison' with this mode set to 'single voice'. So it was in effect, a monosynth.

Some Mono Evolver Presets MEK





Text from the video :
  • I've had several people ask me to post some of the factory presets from the Dave Smith Mono Evolver keyboard. Here are a few...along with a drum machine thru several "External In" patches. Most of these patches really take advantage of the stereo out - so unfortunately you will only hear them in mono. I used to have an Arp 2600 which was a joy to program with all the patch points. You can actually get even more radical sounds out of the MEK. Its internal patch system is very "modular like." Some of the presets are "drone" patches that play themselves - others utilize the sequencer. No matter what the patch, though, there is a sequence ready to go. I really like this synth. It is a programmer's dream. I would also like to get a Moog Little Phatty just for its "sound." But for electronica/experimental/noise stuff -you can't beat the MEK for versatility.
