It encouraged me to buy a Prophet '08 keyboard, which has proved it self beyond my current capacity to program properly. It is more machine than I need and not nearly exciting in color. Since the Mopho is 1/8th of the Prophet, I can say you may like it.<br /><br />However.<br /><br />You have a Pro One, which is in many ways very similar to the Mopho. 2 oscillators, LFO, 4 pole filter etc. You would gain a 2 pole, 4 pole switch on the filter, the ability to do computer editing/library (extra $40), etc. I'm sure you know the details. <br /><br />I do not feel that the DCO's in Dave's new synths have the liveliness of the VCO's from the Pro One era, but at least they stay in tune. <br /><br />DSI builds some great sounding machines, but they cut corners a bit on construction. Not in a bad way, but its noticeable. I felt like I got what I paid for. No more or less.<br /><br />If you need another keyboard I would say go for it, but wait for the second hand market to pickup. If you don't need the extra keys, get the Mopho/Tetra module. That would save space at home and on stage. <br /><br />I'm also open to selling the Prophet if you are interested. I could use the money to finish the modular I'm building. ;-) <br /><br />Good luck on rest of your tour.<br /><br />~W~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
