Tetra


Tetra The synthesizer Dave Smith Instruments was released a few days ago, but I was hoping for some video so you could appreciate what this synth. Big City Music and put him on YouTube, so I include it along with Dave Smith's own showing his latest creation.

Ok, I'll tell you what you hear in the videos: The Tetra is literally 4 Mopho in one box. The difference is that Tetra has 4 voice polyphony, each voice retaining all Mopho synthesis architecture, including the sequencer 16 x 4. That means that for each voice of Tetra have 4 step sequencers of 16 steps each of which can be freely assigned to virtually any synth parameter.

A sequencer 16 x 4 for each voice is astonishing enough, for that you add the 4-part multitimbral capabilities, sound capabilities are endless. The Tetra can be used in "Multi", where each voice is a monophonic synthesizer combierte individual with its own sound, and even his own physical output. Each voice is controlled by a separate MIDI channel.

In "Combo" 4 voices can be stacked together to create sounds chubby and very stuck. Also this way (as you can hear in the video) can be used to trigger sequences of up to 4 voices sequencer with a 16 x 4 for each voice. Also in "Combo" can create sounds in which each voice polyphony interpret a different program, subtly changed, or drastically different.

The Tetra can be chained with other Tetras, or with other Prophet 08 to add their voice polyphony. Priced at $ 799.00, the Tetra is a real and attractive option for those who have always wanted the analog sound of the Prophets.
