Dave Smith Instruments mopho X4 with TETRA Demo&Review [English Captions] 

English sub-title is available now ;)

my favorite reviewer on youtube!

I've watched my share of reviews by this guy. Never understand a word he says. But I like him.

Thanks for all of the DSI reviews Ujiie! You are my favorite reviewer on RU-vid and I start to learn some of the common Japanese phtases from your review. The best is when you are blown away and say "Psycho!"

I wasn't blown away by my x4. BUT I now also use a Moog sub phatty and a Roland super jx10 plus some digital stuff. The x4 finds its own place in the mix well with the Moog and Roland stuff. It's voicing doesn't step on their toes and fits in perfectly in that high mid rangy area.

Thank you for the demo, Ujiie-san. The X4 has a timbre and tone that you have to like (I do), it's not as broad and lavish as other analog polys but it shines in the knob-twiddling out-of-space what-the-heck-is-that-noise kind of stuff which I'm into so it's high on my wishlist but still out of my range price-wise. I'm happy that there are companies like DSI who follow their own style instead of keeping on copying Oberheims, Moogs and ARPs. One day, this nice synth will be mine!

I LOVE THAT FLANNEL

This guy is the best at demos and even he can not make this synth sound close to potentially good.

I love this guys reviews on here!

Great playing and a great demo

Great video! Extremely helpful, and the demonstrator is awesome!

Damn Ujie, you the man!

I had one. Note that you can see the top hinge of the keys, creating a huge gap as you play. It always looked like the keys needed pushed up or the metal needed to be longer. But also I only found one sweet sound and it was any kind of brass. Other patches just don't impress, and of course, the polyphony of 4 is unsatisfying.

Love it, I don't speak Japanese but I understand the Mopho X4. amazing sounds

Hey Katsunori, would you demo the Analog Keys from Elektron? Cheers!

3:54 , ahhh that sound! Thumbs up.

I never looked into a Mopho x4. I already got a Prophet 6, Sub 37, but I think this really does have it's own identity. It's limited but so are a lot of vintage synths. The presets suck but that's what programming is for. Just wish you could latch the sequence and it wasn't so hard to program a sequence but it does have it's place I think.

one my favorite synths!

Thank you. Reviews of monophonic version do you not?

Wonderful fingers. Mediocre instrument.

Can the mopho polychain with the tetra?

I recently bought a mopho x4 ansd I love it...and hearing you play it makes me love it even more! But I'm a bad sound designer: would you kindly share your sound banks ? Many many thanks...

there seems to be some external reverb added to it am I wrong? 5:52 you hear a slight reverb, which doesn't come from the instrument it self if I am correct?

These are digitally controlled analog oscillators, and not digitally controlled digital oscillators....both of which are called DCOs.

i hope you will demo the Nord A1 and Nord Lead 4 too!

Nice!

I know this is old but right now tetras are cheap cause they are discontinued. you can buy 2 for 400 bucks which I did. Basically a prophet 8 if you have a midi keyboard and don't mind an editor then just get a tetra. even thought the mopho x4 is alright and a good price it is still not worth it to me. It's not made like a prophet it doesn't sounds the same either. I think they were trying to hard to make a cheap poly synth with a keyboard to be competitive.If you just need 4 voices then just get a tetra or minilouge both are great but extremely different and cheap for analog synth. P.S.- Best reviewer ever love this guy.

Its not my fav DSI; but does the job nicely! Love Love, Love, all those nobs... Thank you God for nobs!

It is an awesome synth. A 61-key version would be better.

2:31 intimate stroking! This guy it the best

ma per quale motivo quest uomo che non sa suonare i sint fa le dimostrazioni ,con tutto il rispetto ma e chiaramente un pianista

Great demo. Boring synth

モーホー？（難聴

sound so aggressive and cracked very bad synth !! it sound a lot more digital than analog!
