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. Many sounds
are fairly simple at first, then come alive when you use the controllers. With
other sounds, you may need to hold the notes a while to let the sound unfold.
Playing in different ways has a big effect on the programs.
Selecting and Editing Programs and Global Settings
You can use the increment and decrement (Inc/Yes and Dec/No) switches to
step through the programs. Use Param 1 to scroll quickly through the programs.
Param 2 changes banks. There are 3 banks of 128 programs.
If you want to edit a program, just turn any knob. The new value will be
displayed in the bottom line of the LCD (the top line displays the programmed
value for handy reference).
After turning knobs, just hit Program so the LCD goes back to the program/bank
screen, allowing you to change programs again.
Press and hold Program briefly to display the Global menu and change higher
level parameters such as MIDI channel number, Transpose/Detune, and so on.
The Param 1 knob changes the displayed page and Param 2 or increment and
decrement change the values. These settings are remembered when the synth is
turned off.
Summary
You should be up and running now; for more operation information, read on. Or,
just look up specific parameters for detailed notes. Pages 33 and 34 contain a
handy reference for mod sources and destinations. At some point you should
read through the manual to discover all the little features that you might not
notice at first.
