Do one thing at a time. Don’t try to record a track and then edit it. This does not work; it will cause you to get frustrated cause if you start tweaking then your going to have to go back and re-edit, and possibly re-record everything.
Instead, record the audio first. Tweak the sound and record different versions of the motif. Then go back and edit the tracks and arrange them in Logic.
Taken from Dave Smith Instruments:
“It’s no secret that a keyboard version of Mopho is in the works—particularly since two working prototypes were shown at NAMM in January! But we haven’t posted anything to the site because we knew the finished product would look different from the protos and because we’re really busy trying to get it done. If all the various bits and pieces come in on time, we hope to ship mid-April, but we still don’t have a “real” one to show you. The image below should be pretty close, though.
The voice architecture and general specs are the same as the Mopho desktop module. Enhancements include programmable feedback gain, additional arpeggiator modes, and the ability to set the slew rate separately for individual sequence steps. (Yes, the latter two features will eventually find their way into the other products in the Mopho/Tetra/Prophet family.) It features a semi-weighted keyboard action with velocity and aftertouch. And it has great feeling, two-shot, soft-touch knobs.
The eagle-eyed among you may find it odd that a monophonic synth has a unison on/off parameter. When paired with a Tetra, Mopho Keyboard makes a very compact, very powerful five-voice poly synth!”
I’ve already ordered mine at Sweetwater to insure that that I get it as a (should i admit) thirtieth birthday present to myself. :-)
This is a video demonstrating the disassembly of the prophet~600 and cleaning its contacts. In order to keep the video within a reasonable time frame, i made the speed of the clips sometimes 2x, other times 4x. I’m not a film person.
I added a track to this video, it was the result of a jam session a while back so its not perfect.
Enjoy, hopefully it will be of some use.
This was my first attempt to demonstrate how to clean the contacts on a Sequential Circuit Prophet~600.
