10000 parameters



There's the clue right there. If Mr Smith had put all the knobbage on it, you'd be complaining about the price which would not be £299 any more but likely three or four or more times that and you saying you can't afford it. A simple panel with a few controls to make superficial edits and tweaks to key parameters and a software editor to roll your sleeves up and get jiggy with it is exactly what I would have done to meet that price point to bring a synth of that capability to you for a quid south of £300.

As it is, synth afficiando, Gordon Reid, with a 30 or 40 year history playing with some of the best synths ever made said of the MoPho...

"At around £300, the Mopho recreates the sounds of vintage monosynths now selling for well over £1000, and it does much more besides. Programming can be a bit laborious unless you use the software editor, but it’s a superb little synthesizer that can sing, scream, grunt, and generate sound effects to rival the best of them."

You want knobby, get one of these...



It'll be monophonic and cost the best part of £1,800 though!

Or perhaps a Dotcom for around the same price (plus import duty and VAT and tax ... probably £2,300 in total)...



Knobbage costs and even if you want it on a tight budget, there's the one oscillator, one ADSR, monophonic 'Dark Energy' for £350...
