Re: customized synths

haha! I love the console 606!!

I want padded armrests on all my gear. even the rack gear. you never know when your arms might get tired.

Re: customized synths

That last 606 is a pain in the ass to program.
Have a good look at the step butons!

i don't need the gear, the gear needs me

Re: customized synths

wow great finds Retali8 !
The smackness of the woodwork on that console 606 adds to the cool factor.
The white one looks like it will light up when powered on. Looks very factory.

Yeah before it was an evil tiesto keyboard that would only let me make overcompensated supersaw-trannzzze arpeggios.
Now it produces fluffy synth leads and warm basslines with occasional rainbows coming from the midi out. cool

btw crosslinking to the "monosynth from dave smith"-thread: If I was you Pauli, I'd customize the hell out of the mopho - the good thing is whatever you do it can only make it look better.

Re: customized synths

I'm on the case with the Mopho,

Mr Pauli, could you tell me if the Prophet 08 and Mopho knobs are interchangeable?

Re: customized synths

yes the p08 knobs fit on the Mopho.
A while back i asked DSI if it would be possible to buy a set for the Mopho
and they said that should be possible.

planning on creating a pro one look ? smile

Had that idea a while back, but since i've seen Hans Olofs bare metal Mopho
that is probably what i go for if i feel the need for customizing this yellow brick of uglyness.
,,,even think it will sound even better when it's not yellow smile

Re: customized synths

It will!

I wonder if it's possible to get a sticker produced with the same technique, just different graphics.

It could also be a thin metal plate, like the name tags on the Pro-One.

Re: customized synths

this is a project that must be done!

It is called lexan the material, a silkscreener can print that...even in transparant material, so you can see the leds under it...the polyevolver and moog voayger SSm uses it also...

Its available with one side adhesive and the brand is 3M

check this out hehe

Re: customized synths

Hey Septic ... that is what I wanted to post ... wow

Re: customized synths

Yes thanks,

I already found a local company that uses the same process :

http://www.reproblb.com/en/overlays.shtml

I wrote to DSI asking for the original artwork or template, bid timing I guess because they must be busy with their new product.
I could just remeasuyre everything of course, and possibly scan the original sticker (or Hans Olof could send me a scan of his if he kept it?).
It would save time to have the original.  I did'nt ask for a quote yet, I wonder how expensive to have a small batch manufactured.

Re: customized synths

hmm seems that there is a special pot version already of the Mopho desktop

http://www.novamusik.com/search.aspx?ty … amp;mid=50

@tony, I hope they will send you the vector lineart of the frontpanel, but if that doesnt go, there a lots of very big frontpanel pics on google.images those can be altered, as the bigger P5 style pots will overlay the shadow part I think, you can just recolor it then. But for sure the original vector drawing from DSI will work best I suppose.

example: http://www.dsisynth.com/photos/mopho1-ko.jpg

btw: those transparant lexanoverlays are printed on the back, so that you wont scratch off the inkt. It is printed in reverse. Black layer, then yellow, then orange.

NOTE: for display only as I don't have a Mopho yet to measure properly...

Just a rough mock-up.. needs a little more work. Artwork available in illustrator.
