The Dave Smith Tetra. I&#8217;ve had a Mopho for a while and wasn&#8217;t all that happy with it but I&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s because there&#8217;s no front panel. It&#8217;s really hard to edit a sound when you have to cycle through every parameter and change them one at a time. That&#8217;s exactly why I got back into older analog synths. Being able to quickly grab a control and adjust the sound to my liking makes all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p>But a few months ago I played around with the Mopho again and really liked how it sounded so I decided I needed a polyphonic version. A P08 would be nice but it lacks some of the features so I decided to get a Tetra. It finally arrived last night and it is absolutely stunning!<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/scotteh\/32382052032\/in\/photostream\" title=\"Dave Smith Tetra Arrives\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/361\/32382052032_0989859fc9_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"466\" alt=\"Dave Smith Tetra Arrives\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>You can see in the picture that this 4 voice synthesizer with tons of features is about one tenth the size of the rack mount Moog Voyager and sounds almost as good. I&#8217;ll say almost because obviously the Moog has it&#8217;s own amazing sound that is unparalleled, but although the Tetra is a bit different it is certainly just as good!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve only had a short amount of time with it but it is very fat and punchy and is capable of many many amazing sounds that are very Prophet 5-like. I have already started investigating the Soundtower editor and hopefully will be using this synth in the very near future. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already decided that I need more voices so there is a chance I will get another one for polychaining, but since they have just announced the REV2 which is a P08 with more features and double the voices I may just get one of those. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My newest addition just arrived.
