Quick Start Thanks for purchasing your Mopho SE synthesizer! Listen to the sounds, twiddle some knobs, have some fun! Please Register! Please go to www.davesmithinstruments.com and register your synth. If you purchased directly from us, there is no need to register—we already have your contact information. Powering Up Plug in the power supply, connect (in stereo!) to your mixer/sound system, and start playing! Try applying keyboard pressure (aftertouch) and the mod wheel.
Don’t forget you get a free editor for Mac OS or Windows with your purchase. Download it from www.soundtower.com/mopho. I should mention that this manual does not include explanations of basic analog synthesizer functions. It assumes you already know what an oscillator is, how a low-pass filter affects the sound, what an ADSR envelope looks like, and so on. Fortunately, these days it is quite easy to find such resources on the Internet.
Getting Connected Mopho has several inputs and outputs on its back panel. Power Input — Connect the power supply included with your Mopho. The power supply comes with different AC adaptor prongs that enable it to work almost anywhere in the world. If for whatever reason you need to use a different supply, it must match the specifications printed on the front panel. USB—Mopho transmits and receives MIDI data via this standard, Type B, USB receptacle. See Using USB on page 36 for more information.
Left Out/Right Out—Mopho’s unbalanced left and right outputs. Phones—A ¼ inch stereo headphone jack.
Basic Operation If you’re familiar with analog, subtractive synthesis there shouldn’t be anything that looks terribly foreign or strange about Mopho’s front panel. All of the basic building blocks are there. But one of the challenges of making a compact synth is giving the user access to all the parameters within a limited amount of panel area.
Program—Press to return Mopho to program mode. Hold to select global mode. Compare—When editing a Program, press Compare to hear the saved version. Turn Compare off to return to the edited version. Compare can also be used to audition write destinations when moving a program. Write—Press Write to save the program and write any edits to memory. You can write the program to the same location or choose a different program number using Param 1; Param 2 chooses the bank.
Modes of Operation Mopho has three operating modes: program, edit, and global. In program mode, Param 1, Param 2, and Inc/Dec are used to change from one saved program to another. As soon as any of the programmable parameters are edited, that parameter is displayed on the LCD, with the programmed value on the top line, and the new, edited value on the bottom line. That is edit mode. To exit edit mode and return to program mode, just press Program.

Global Parameters Mopho’s Global parameters affect all programs globally. Examples include MIDI channel and fine tune. To edit the Global parameters, hold down the Program switch until Global Parameter is displayed. The Param 1 knob changes the global parameter and Param 2 knob and increment and decrement buttons change the value. Transpose: -12…+12—Master Transpose control, 0 is centered. Steps in semitones. Fine Tune: -50…+50—Master Fine Tune control; 0 centered.
MIDI Out Select: Out, Thru—MIDI Out can be switched to MIDI Thru to daisychain multiple MIDI devices. Poly Chain: Off, Out 1, Out 4, Out 5, Out 8, Out 12, Out 16 —Used to expand the polyphony via the Poly Chain output and one or more DSI synths—Mopho, Tetra, or Prophet. See Using Poly Chain on page 39 for more information. Local Control: Off, On—When on (the default), the keyboard and front panel controls directly affect Mopho.
arpeggiator. Mopho can be configured for use with either normally open (+) or normally closed (-) footswitches. When set to Arp+ or Arp-, the footswitch will act as a sustain pedal when the Arpeggiator is off. Pedal: see table—Sets the destination for the Pedal/CV input. Note that this input is heavily filtered for clean operation, so there is a limit to the speed it will respond to changes.
program parameters are basically the same as the Mopho Keyboard’s. The desktop Mopho’s Feedback Gain is not programmable, so some tweaking of that control may be necessary to match the sound to the keyboard. And the Prophet’s voice architecture is almost identical, but lacks the sub octave generators and feedback.
Oscillators The Oscillators section contains the primary controls for Mopho’s two digitally controlled analog oscillators or DCOs. “Digitally controlled” does not mean the oscillators themselves are digital, just that the oscillators’ frequencies are under digital—rather than voltage—control. The advantage to that is that the tuning is exceptionally stable over a ten-octave range without having to compensate for variables like temperature. The audio signal path is still completely analog.
wave, higher values widen it. At the extreme values, the pulse goes completely flat, which allows for some interesting possibilities with pulse width modulation. 0 50 Pulse Width 99 Glide: 0...127—Sets the oscillator glide (portamento) rate. Glide can be set independently for each oscillator. Low values are faster. See also “Glide Mode” in Other Oscillator Parameters. Sub Octave: 0...127—Controls the level of a square wave pitched one octave below oscillator 1 or two octaves below oscillator 2.
point in the wave’s cycle other than a zero crossing. The first cycle to play might be truncated. For some sounds, like monophonic basses, this may actually be desirable. It adds a bit of randomness to the attack that can make it sound, for lack of a better word, more organic. When Wave Reset is on, the wave is always reset to zero—the start of its cycle—when a note is gated on. Oscillator 2 Wave Reset: Off, On—See “Oscillator 1 Wave Reset” above. Oscillator Slop: 0...
Mixer The Mixer section balances the levels of the outputs of the Oscillators section and noise generator, and the Audio In/feedback loop before routing the summed signals to the low-pass filter. Mix: 0...127—Mixes the outputs of oscillators 1 and 2 in varying amounts. A setting of 0 is equivalent to 100% oscillator 1 and 0% oscillator 2. A setting of 127 is just the opposite. A setting of 64 is a 50/50 mix of both oscillators. Feedback Level/External Volume Level: 0...
Filter Mopho features a selectable 2- or 4-pole, low-pass filter. 4-Pole—Selects the filter configuration. When lighted, the filter is in 4-pole mode. A 4-pole, low-pass filter rolls off frequencies above the cutoff frequency at a slope of 24dB/octave. When the light is off, the filter is in 2-pole mode and has a slope of 12dB/octave and a more gradual rolloff of the higher frequencies. Frequency: 0...164—Sets the base filter cutoff frequency over more than 13 octaves.
Envelopes Mopho has three 5-stage (Delay + ADSR) envelope generators. Two are dedicated—one to the filter and the other to the amplifier—and the third is assignable to any modulation destination. Envelope Select—Selects the envelope to edit. When all three are lighted, the other envelope parameters control all three envelopes simultaneously. Amount: -127...127—Sets the amount of modulation from the envelope to the destination: filter, amplifier, or the selected destination for envelope 3.
LFO Mopho has four low frequency oscillators (LFOs). The LFOs can be freerunning, synced to keystrokes, or synced to the sequencer and MIDI clock. To edit the LFO parameters, choose LFO in the Modulation section. LFO Select: 1, 2, 3, 4—Chooses the LFO to edit. Tip: The four numbered lights above the Frequency knob pulse at the frequency of the corresponding LFO. This can be a great aid in knowing which LFO to select for editing.

Sequencer For many musicians, the term sequencer has become synonymous with MIDI sequencer; that is, a computer-based application or dedicated hardware device for recording and playing back notes and performance gestures via MIDI. But sequencers were around long before MIDI. Mopho’s sequencer is much more like the original analog sequencers typically associated with modular synthesizer systems. The sequencer comprises four 16-step sequences that play in parallel.
does not respond to MIDI start/stop/continue messages, but it can still sync to an external clock. Simply turn on the sequencer and then play and hold a note to start. Or use the Push It button’s toggle feature to latch a note on with one push and release it with another; in this case, the Push It button is essentially a Start/Stop control. Reset and Rest Sequences have a maximum of 16 steps, but they can have fewer—from 1 to 15—using Reset. (Sequences of 16 steps reset automatically.

Rest prevents the envelopes from being gated by the corresponding step, so a rest in sequence one affects all four sequences. If the sequences are the same length, rests will occur in the same place in all four sequences as they loop.
To program a sequence: 1. Turn the sequencer on. 2. Choose Sequencer in the Modulation section. 3. Choose the sequence to program: 1, 2, 3, or 4. 4. Play a note to start the sequence playing. To avoid having to hold a key down, set the Push It Mode (Misc. Parameters) to Toggle. Then use Push It to start and stop the sequencer. You may also want to change the Push It Note, the BPM, and the Clock Divide. 5. Choose a destination for the sequence. 6.
In Mopho’s sequencer, Slew sets the slew rate between the previous step’s value and the current step’s value when the step is gated on. Confused yet? This should help: let’s say sequence one is routed to oscillator frequency and sequence two to Slew. Increasing the Slew value for step four will cause the oscillator frequency to glide from the step three value when step four is gated on. The higher the Slew value, the slower the slew rate. And the slew rate can be different for each step.
Syncing an LFO to the Sequencer One very useful way to modulate a parameter in sync with a sequence is using an LFO with Clock Sync. A setting of 16 Steps for LFO Frequency with a triangle wave selected and routed to the filter will provide a clean filter sweep over a 16-step sequence, perfectly in sync! This is much easier (and smoother) than manually programming a sequence to sweep the filter.
Modulators Modulators lets you configure the modulation routing and amount for Mopho’s four general-purpose modulation slots. Since each Mopho modulation source has a single destination, the four general purpose modulators provide a way to send a mod source (such as a sequence or LFO) to additional destinations, with a different amount. There are also additional mod sources available here, such as Noise, allowing a wide variety of possibilities.
Miscellaneous Modulators There are certain standard controllers that Mopho consigns to dedicated modulators, things like mod wheel, pressure (aka aftertouch), and velocity. The most obvious benefits to doing this is it provides a shortcut to setting up commonly used controllers and it frees up the four general-purpose mod slots for other, more Mopho-specific applications. Select Misc Mod in the Modulation section to get started.
Clock The Clock section contains the controls for the internal clock tempo and the note value for the arpeggiator and sequencer (and LFO, when Clock Sync is on). There are also switches to turn the arpeggiator and sequencer on and off. Arpeggiator—Turns Mopho’s arpeggiator on and off. The tempo and note value are determined by the BPM and Clock Divide settings. Arpeggiator Mode is set in Miscellaneous Parameters.
playing additional notes while latched adds them to the notes already playing. In ReLatch mode, removing your hands from all keys and then playing an additional note or notes causes the latched notes to be released and the newly played note(s) to be latched on. As long as at least one key is held, pressing additional keys will add to the arpeggio. The Arpeggiator can also be latched with a footswitch connected to the Sustain jack. See “Sustain” in Global Parameters on page 9.
Miscellaneous Parameters Miscellaneous Parameters groups together programmable parameters that do not conveniently fall into any obvious section or, if they do, are parameters that are less frequently used. They are important, but generally not required for performance. Voice Volume: 0…127—Sets the volume of the current program to match volumes between programs. Note: There is enough gain in the synth voice that with some settings, some mild clipping distortion may be heard.
droning sounds, or possibly when using Mopho to process external audio, turn the VCA Level up. Push It Mode: Normal, Toggle, Audio In—When set to Normal, Push It responds like a key: press it and a note plays, release it and the note ends. But when set to Toggle, Push It turns the note on with one press and off with a second press. This is handy for making a note drone or for latching a gated sequence on. Somewhat related, the Audio In setting will generate a gate from Audio In.

Using USB Mopho’s USB 2.0 port enables bidirectional MIDI communication with a computer. A MIDI interface and MIDI cables are not necessary, just a USB cable. Mopho is a Class Compliant USB device. That means it does not require any additional drivers to be installed to communicate with a Mac or Windows computer. Mopho transmits and receives MIDI data via USB, but does not transmit audio.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 behave the same as XP, but the device name is DSI Mopho rather than USB Audio Device. In Windows, if you unplug the USB cable and plug it back in while a program has the Mopho port open, you may have to resync. That usually means going to the USB Audio Device (or DSI Mopho) Properties, as in the procedure above, and clicking OK.
Using Audio In The Audio In jack on Mopho’s rear panel can take audio from a variety of sources, including line level signals and guitars. But what happens to it once its inside and how do you get it out again? Simply plugging a guitar in does not mean you will actually hear something when you play it. Mopho’s basic audio signal path goes from oscillators to mixer to filter to VCA. Audio In goes into the mixer.
Using Poly Chain Mopho’s Poly Chain output enables it to be connected to other DSI synths for up to 17-voice polyphony. Products that can be chained include the Tetra, Prophet '08 (module and keyboard), desktop Mopho, and a second keyboard Mopho. It will not chain with the Evolvers and Poly Evolvers due to the different voice structures.
Note: If syncing to an external MIDI clock, set MIDI Clock (Global menu) on the master and any intermediate units to MIDI In/Out. Set the last instrument in the chain to MIDI In. When Poly Chain is set to Off, the Poly Chain MIDI out jack simply duplicates the MIDI out jack.

Support Troubleshooting Here are a few suggestions for resolving problems that may occur. The sequencer has stopped running. Make sure Clock in the Global menu is set to Internal. Some of the programs sound different. Check the Mod Wheel position. The Mod Wheel can do a lot more than just add vibrato. Also, some of the programs use the sequencer to shape the sound so make sure Clock in the Global menu is set to Internal. There is a ground hum in the audio output.

Pitch Wheel Calibration The pitch wheel is calibrated at the factory and, generally speaking, should not have to be calibrated again. If, however, you find that your Mopho is not tuned to concert pitch when the pitch wheel is centered and the global transpose is set to 0, try performing a wheel calibration. To calibrate the pitch wheel: 1. With the pitch wheel held all the way down, hold COMPARE and press ARPEGGIATOR. The display should read “Wheels Calibrated Low.” 2.
