Quick Start
Thanks for purchasing your Mopho x4 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 (I
NC
/Y
ES
and D
EC
/N
O
) switches to
step through the programs. Use P
ARAM
1 to scroll quickly through the programs.
P
ARAM
2 changes banks. There are eight banks of 128 programs: four banks of
user programs (U1 through U4) and four banks of factory programs (F1 through
F4). The user banks are initially copies of the factory banks. You can edit any of
the programs, user or factory, but you can only save changes to the user banks.
The factory banks are read only.
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 P
ROGRAM
so the LCD goes back to the
program/bank screen, allowing you to change programs again.
Press and hold P
ROGRAM
briefly to display the Global menu and change higher
level parameters such as MIDI channel number, Transpose/Detune, and so on.
The P
ARAM
1 knob changes the displayed page and P
ARAM
2 or increment and
decrement change the values. These settings are remembered when the synth is
turned off.
